  1. Athena BourkaChemical Engineer MSc Integrated management of bio-waste in Greece - The case study of Athens LIFE10 ENV/GR/605

  2. The project – ATHENS BIOWASTE Project Duration: • Sep 2011 – August 2014 Participants: • NTUA, ESDKNA, City of Athens, Municipality of Kifissia, EPTA S.A. Main Targets - Actions: • Establishment of a separate collection system for biowaste in the City of Athens and the Municipality of Kifissia (pilot area of 3000 inhabitants in each Municipality) • Composting of the biowaste in the MBT facility of ESDKA • Evaluating compost quality • Development of a bio-waste management software tool

  3. Case Study Areas • Athens Area: 3.795ha Population: 789.166 Density: 207 inh/ha Zone Price: 1000-8500€/m2 • Kifissia Area: 3.403ha Population: 64.558 Density: 19 inh/ha Zone Price: 1250 – 4550 €/m2

  4. 1st area KYPRIADOU Population: 2.707 Density: 188 inh/ha Zone Price: 1.500€/m2 City of Athens Case Study Areas Population: 1.367 Density: 50 inh/ha Zone Price: 1.100€/m2 Local Touristic Zone 2nd area GAZI

  5. Municipality of KifissiaCase study - areas • Commercial Centre of Kifissia and N. Eryrthaia • Low density areas: Kefalari & Kastri (15-20 inh/ha), • Medium density areas: Kato Kifissia & N. Kifissia (40 inh/ha)

  6. Methods of Separate Collection • Kerbside Collection with 2-wheel bins 120-360 lt. • for the whole City of Athens • Commercial areas in Kifissia • Medium density areas in Kifissia • Door-to-door Collection with home Containers ≈30 lt • for low density areas in Kifissia • Door-to-door Collection with 2-wheel bins ≈120 lt • For restaurants and hotels or other major producers

  7. Methods of Separate Collection • Kitchen caddies/bins 7lt • Bags from compostable organic material (like corn or potato starch) or paper • Collection with small vehicle 5m3 with low compaction • Online fleet monitoring system

  8. Methods of Awareness Campaign Wide dissemination through local press & radio Focused on citizens: • 1st Phase:Letter of the Mayor to the participating citizens together with an informational leaflet • 2ndPhase:Distribution of home caddies/bins & bags & one page brochure • 3rd Phase:Feedback & supply of compost initiation of separate collection

  9. How the project can contribute to the waste management policy in Greece? • By demonstrating to other Municipalities how a separate collection system for biowaste can be planned and implemented • By initiating composting of biowaste in the greater Athens area, taking into account that 3 composting plants are to be constructed within the next years • By evaluating the compost quality in accordance with standards such as Eco-Label correlating it with different collection systems • By producing an innovative software tool which will evaluate the carbon footprint as well as the costs of alternative biowaste collection and treatment solutions.
