Implementing Directive 99/31 and art. 11 + 22 of WFD • Bans on biodegradables to landfills (e.g. BR, US) • Most stringent provisions • May lack flexibility • Requires codified thresholds for acceptance at landfills • Obligation on separate collection • On Municipalities (e.g. NL) – may be deceived with poor performing / low participation systems • On households (e.g. AT) – very effective, if stringent control possible • May require phased implementation • Targets for sep. collection / composting / recycling • Specific biowaste processing targets (e.g. Sweden) • General recycling + composting targets (IT & UK) • Result-oriented + flexible
Sep. Collection and recyling targets for biowaste 25% of biowaste by year 2016 50% of biowaste by year 2020 70% of biowaste by year 2025 Relative to the quantity of municipal biowaste as generated in year 2014 (base-line year) recycling = composting or anerobic digestion
Obligations of local authorities • Bulgaria is divided on 55 Waste management regions • The municipalities in every region are obliged to create Regional Waste Management Associations with the purpose of proper waste management on the territory of the region and building the entire needed infrastructure. • The Mayors have to organize and coordinate within the WM Regions: • A phased introduction of separate collection schemes for bio-waste from households and similar institutions (shops, restaurants) • Implement complete separate collection and recycling of green waste from garden and parks • The planning and installation of composting and/or biogas plants • Install recycling centers, including bring sites for garden waste for settlements with a population of > 10,000 inhabitants

DraftOrdinance – Quality Concept I • Compostmay be produced from source separated Biowaste(<10% impurities) and/or quality certifiedSewage Sludgeand may include Additivesand shallmeet strict limitsfor heavy metals and impurities • Organic Soil Amendmentmay be produced fromsource separated Biowaste(<10% impurities) and/or quality certifiedSewage Sludge and may include Additivesand shallmeet less strict limitsfor heavy metals and impurities • Stabilised MBT Outputmay be produced fromMixed Municipal Waste Fractions, Biowaste(>10% impurities)Sewage Sludge(Decree No. 339) = Product = Waste = Waste
Precautionary Quality Criteria – Heavy Metals *COPPER and ZINC are classified as essential nutrients. Values above the first valuesshall be declared.
