Waste management is no longer seen as an environmental

issue, but an economic sector and a social service.

The three Rs scenario finishes in sanitary landfills

where remaining waste is disposed of in a controlled way

The poor situation: NO Reuse culture NO

waste separation, NO waste treatment, and

dumps instead of landfills

There is a tremendous gap to bridge. In Spain, we are

closer than ever to the three Rs, having started from a

poor situation 20 years ago.

How to get to there? How to start with?

PRODUCTION DISPOSAL TREATMENT

FACILITIES & TECHNOLOGIES

GOVERNANCE BODY

THE BUILDING BLOCKS

PRODUCTION DISPOSAL

Putting the cart

before the horse.

Building a network of

sanitary landfills

Location, and capacity of landfills,

based on technical studies in which

waste production is the base

Sealing / ecovering

old dumps

Implentation of a waste collection

system adapted to your needs

domestic mixed waste including

glass, paper, and packaging, different

containers must be put in place

Green Points a good solution to collect specific waste

such as WEEE, CDW, used tires, etc

FACILITIES AND TECHNOLOGIES

TREATMENT FACILITIES & TECHNOLOGIES

Analyze information from

the collection system

if

their waste, is there any point of building a plant?

“You need to collect separately before you are able to treat separately”

the government is

cheating us,

making us

separate paper

and packaging but

they aren’t

recycling at all

Awareness campaigns are

necessary. They are an

opportunity to collaborate with

private sector and consumer

groups

It is crucial to engage people with waste recycling.

Waste management is made up of a part of technical

issues and a part of communication

if there were not a market for the ferrous metal, would

there be any point of building a plant to separate it?

Public-private workgroups to foster the development of

new business around waste treatment

Just to emphasize:

COLLABORATION

There are many different

technologies with different costs, ,

automation, efficiency, etc.

Best technology is not the

highest one but rather which

better matches your needs

and your economic level.

These decisions based on a

hierarchy of national-regional-local

waste management plans

GOVERNANCE BODY

GOVERNANCE BODY

This is the moment to integrate the components into a functional chain

Administration is in charge of establishing the legal framework

Who is going to pay to pay to treat the waste? Who is

going to manage that money? Who is going to pay to

build and operate facilities?

“Who pollutes pays” A new tax for waste treatment

TAX can cause rejection: once again the importance of awareness campaigns

Three approaches

1. Household waste 2. Specific waste (WEEE, packaging..) 3. Other and hazardous

1. Household waste treatment is charged as a new tax

to the citizen by local governments or their consortiums

Municipality Consortium Private

managers Producers

Resell

citizen

Waste Collection Transport

Recycling and

Recovery

Disposal sanitary Landfills

If there is not private interest: full public responsibility

or PUBLIC-PRIVATE COLLABORATON

2.Treatment cycle of Specific Waste such as WEEE, used

Integrated Management System

The tax for the treatment is included in the price of the

products, Producers are in charge of recycling

The payment goes to a new private actor: Integrated

Management System who takes on the management

of the recycle cycle for some specific fractions of waste

Producers Consumers Shops

Collection system

Municipality

Treatment Plants

Factories

Sanitary Landfills

this approach has allowed a new flourishing sector with

another private actor: Authorized Waste Manager who

acts as an independent recycler actor.

3. The recycling cycle for other waste, such as ELV,

is based on public-private agreements to

collaborate in collecting or treatment.

REMEMBER: Step-by-Step process starting by the rnd:

sanitary landfills. And then decide on technologies

Waste management can be, and should be, turn into an

economic sector to create welfare by means of public-

private collaboration
