  1. Waste management

  2. Undesirable output Energy Product Air emissions Process Input Effluent discharge Undesirable output Solid waste

  3. Waste can be ... Good house- keeping Services instead of products Change technology I. Avoided & reduced Change raw material Change product Change process Correct segrega-tion II. III. Recycled Within the process Disposed of Externally Detoxi- fication Energetically Inside the company Stabilization Reduction of volume

  4. Waste management …is more than simply arranging containers in the company! • Legal compliance with relevant waste regulations • Setting up company-specific waste logistics • Information/motivation • Continuous controlling Source: PREPARE Toolkit

  5. Why do companies optimize their waste management? • Legal compliance • Risk minimization • Disposal security • Positive image • Motivation • Implementation of waste minimization measures • Cost reduction • EMAS, ISO 14001

  6. Methodology – waste management • Check legal compliance with the applicable waste regulations – corrective action • Determine waste streams according to type of waste, waste volumes and costs • Identify weak points of waste logistics • Determine minimization and cost reduction potentials • Define, implement and monitor measures

  7. Involving employees at the workplace Information on correct waste segregation (segregation guidelines!) Customized container systems Redesign of waste collection points Involvement of the cleaning personnel Motivation of all persons involved Setting up in-company waste logistics

  8. Important success factors for well functioning waste logistics Waste manager Environmental responsible Waste logistics Information Information Motivation Motivation Management Employees Cleaning personnel Motivation Information Source: PREPARE Toolkit

  9. Checklist for legal compliance • When do we talk about waste? • Which types of waste arise in the company? • Which relevant waste obligations do I have to comply with? • How do I fulfil these obligations? • Which corrective actions are necessary?

  10. Examples of waste-relevant duties • Appoint waste manager • Documentation (non-hazardous waste) • Notification (hazardous waste, used oil) • Special documentation on disposal (hazardous waste, used oil) • Allocation of various duties of waste segregation

  11. Why do companies optimize their waste management? • Transparency of waste volumes and costs of the waste streams • Targeted minimization and recycling measures • Correct waste segregation – disposal security • Reduction of residual waste – cost reduction • Waste management as part of environmental management • EMAS, ISO 14001 • Positive company image • Motivation of employees

  12. Contribution of the disposal company • Information material on waste separation • Labelling/colour system for containers and waste collection points • Information on adapted container systems • Waste collection intervals according to specific company needs • Data on the weight of collected waste, support in estimating waste quantities

  13. Description of waste streams

  14. Analysing potentials of wastereduction Central waste collection point Container for residual waste Container for hazardous waste  Waste segregation in the company

  15. Storage, workshop delivery • Paper/cardboard • Metal • Residual waste • Packaging • Glass • Wood • Organic waste • Cable stays • Hazardous waste • Central waste point Office/procurement Kitchen Overview of waste logistics Archives

  16. Definition of measures • Optimize waste logistics (new containers, new waste collection points, colour system/ labelling) • Improve waste segregation (e.g. metals) – reduction of disposal costs • Use returnable and/or large containers • Reuse certain materials • Internal recycling (e.g. recycling of solvents) • Use returnable cleaning rags (rental system) • Use reusable packaging • ...
