RETHINKING VALUE in WASTE BASE Cities Event Edgbaston, April 11th 2013 Peter Jones OBE ecolateraljones@btinternet.com
SOCIETAL ATTITUDE= possibility TECHNOLOGY= availability ECONOMICS= affordability The Three Musketeers of Policy Implementation
The Scale of Transformation-Organic Mass (m tes.) • 1997 2013 • Landfill 80 24 • Collection (C+I) 80 40 • Municipal 29 24 • Recycling 1 16 • Incineration 3 6 • Compost 1 4 • Exports - 1 • AD 3 4 • MRFs - 25 • TOTAL 197 144
The Scale of Transformation- Carbon / Organics £m • 1997 2013 • Landfill 620 2000 (Tax 1536) • Collection 320 200 • Municipal 1400 1440 • Recycling 60 1000 • Incineration 300 800 • Composting 200 800 • Exports - 40 • AD 100 170 • MRFs - 1000 • TOTAL 3000 7450
The Reverse Logistics of Waste • Collection • Intermediate Quality Control • Material Transition • Product Sale
MARKET DRIVEN ECONOMICS • MAXIMISE ENERGETIC EFFICIENCY OF FEEDSTOCK CONVERSION • SELL OUTPUTS FOR THE HIGHEST VALUE per EMBEDDED GIGAJOULE • OPERATE WITH THE LOWEST CARBON FOOTPRINT FOR COLLECTION,PREPARATION AND TRANSITION (across the reverse logistics chain)
kgs The Zero Waste Game Boomerang High incineration gasifier Plasma to batteries anaerobic digestion aerobic composting landfill High Lo Note: Process emissions before net off energy
The Planning Route Map Define the energy sink That defines the energy need That defines the technology That defines the ‘fuel’ mix That defines the logistics That defines the collection discipline
The Co-Location Route Map • Food –freezing,preparation+retail • Diversified industrial estates • Hospitals • Prisons • Bus and truck complexes • Docks and Airports and Distribution • Data centres • Energy distribution pipes and wires • Confectionery factories • Sewage plants • Road fuel distribution depots • Industrial gases operations
Structural Shifts in the “waste” Sector New TECHNOLOGY entrants attracted by tax “push” gate fees. Shift from gate fees to output sales as capacity expands. Ripple out to wider “energy” markets Entry of end market players such as- DS Smith, Peel ,Air Products, AMEC, Stobart, Supermarket logistics & parcels players.
