  1. BIOWASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE BALKAN COUNTRIESThe cases of Romania, Slovenia, Greece & Bulgaria Christos Venetis Waste Management Engineer

  2. The BALKWASTE Project LIFE07 ENV/RO/000686 Total Budget: 869.452 € (50% co-funded) Duration: January 2009 – December 2011 Participating Countries Greece, Romania, Slovenia, Bulgaria Sustainable Waste Management Planning in the Balkan Region

  3. The BALKWASTE Project Main objective of the Balkwaste Project is to deliver a decision support software in order to: Provide a multidisciplinary (environmental, economic, social) comparison of different waste management technologies Identify how the most appropriate technologies can be implemented within an integrated waste management framework Support competent authorities in developing sustainable waste management strategy

  4. The BALKWASTE Project The software will guide the user to formulate and compare alternative integrated waste management scenarios It will be applied and validated in the two case studies area (Razlog and North-East Region) The validation will be performed using actual collected data (sampling results and existing infrastructure)

  5. Project Partners • REPA Bacau, Romania • Euroconsultants S.A., Greece • NTUA Athens, Greece • Technical University Crete, Greece • NGO CSDCS, Bulgaria • EFCon, Romania • Surovina, Slovenia • Epta Ltd., Greece (Subcontractor)

  6. GREECE 5,6 mio. Tones of MSW per year Around 44% is organic waste showing decreasing trends Currently no separation at source schemes are active MBT is the only mean of diversion

  7. Chania MBT 75.000 tn/year Athens MBT 300.000 tn/year Heraklion MBT 75.000 tn/year Kefallonia MBT 25.000 tn/year

  8. SLOVENIA 855.595 Tones of MSW (2007) Around 39% is organic waste Small quantities are collected through separation at source schemes (16.568 tones in 2006) 8 composting facilities and 2 anaerobic digestion facilities treating organic fraction of msw

  9. BULGARIA 3.103.000 Tones of MSW (2006) Around 57,7% is biodegradable No separation at source schemes are active Home composting in single municipalities (around 5.500 households)

  10. ROMANIA 12.375.890 Tones of MSW (2007) Around 46% is organic waste Small quantities are collected through separation at source schemes 5 composting facilities operating and 2 under construction

  11. ROMANIA The Piatra – Neamt Composting Facility Capacity of 25.000 tons Only a reduced number of citizens participate to the separate collection system Collected quantities are low from both qualitative and quantitative points of view In 2007 13.132 tons processed 3.468 tons composted 9.664 tons landfilled 1.599 tons of compost produced Compost market is underdeveloped. In 2008 compost quantities from 2007 remained unsold

  12. SAMPLING ANALYSIS IN ROMANIA AND BULGARIA On site sorting analysis & laboratory tests Romania during Dec. 2009 and May 2010 in 6 counties Bulgaria during Nov. 2009 and May 2010 in 1 region

  13. SORTING ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY Recyclable fractions after 1st step sorting 1st step sorting rest; the half after 1st cutting sorting the half after 2nd cutting 2. step sorting 1st step sorting rest; the half after 1st cutting The sample The fractions

  14. The samples…

  15. The sorting…

  16. The fractions after the 1st step sorting recyclable materials a subjective aspect depends on known and common technologies depends on the samplers skills and knowledge common materials (paper, plastic, metals, glass, wood etc.) “clean” – non-contaminated, non-composite Non-recyclable materials combustible (composites: plastic-paper-alu-foil); contaminated, small pieces etc. wood, rubber, mixed plastic … inert and other materials ceramic glass

  17. The recyclable materials

  18. The rest after 1st step sorting

  19. The fractions after the 2nd step sorting Sorting of the rest after the 1st step sorting. Small pieces of (in practice) non- recyclable materials, contaminated with organic waste. common materials paper, plastic, metals, glass, wood only in gross the rest was noticed as biological no method (on site) to determine the biological part of waste and inert (soil, chippings, debris from demolition etc.)

  26. Results Reliability Reliability of 75% The reliability interval has been justified through an official letter to the EU Commission by SUROVINA Effort was made to achieve the high degree of reliability always taking the project budget into consideration
