  2. CONTENT • Legislation / institutional framework • Waste quantities and management / Specific waste streams • Facilities • Data / Reporting

  3. BASIC FACTS Population - 4,437,460 (2001 census) Zagreb, population – 779,145 Land area – 56,542 sq.km Diverse terrain, karst topography makes up more than 50% territory • Croatia - a candidate country for EU membership (2004) • Accession negotiations – in progress

  4. POLICY • STRATEGIC-PLANNING FRAMEWORK • Strategy for Sustainable Development of the Republic of Croatia(OG No. 30/09)  • National Environmental Strategy (OG No. 46/02) • National Environmental Action Plan (NEAP) (OG No. 46/02) • Environmental Protection Act (OG No. 110/07) •  Waste management- marked as priority in environment protection • Waste Management Strategy of the Republic of Croatia • (OG  No. 130/2005) • Waste Management Plan of the Republic of Croatia for 2007-2015 • (OG  No. 85/2007)

  5. LEGISLATION • LEGISLATION • Transposition of EU legislation in waste management sector – completed • (with the exception ofthe Directive 2008/98/EC) • Waste Act(OG No. 178/04, 111/09, 60/08, 87/09) • 2 Regulations and 19 Ordinances • Regulation on categories, types and classification of waste with a waste catalogue and list of hazardous waste (OG No. 50/05, 39/09) • Regulation on supervision of transboundary movement of waste (OG No. 69/06, 17/07, 39/09) • Ordinance on waste management (OG No. 23/07, 111/07)  • Ordinance on methods and requirements for thermal treatment of waste (OG  No. 45/07) • Ordinance on the methods and conditions for the landfill of waste, categories and operational requirements for waste landfills (OG  No. 117/07)  • Ordinances on special waste categories (packaging, WEEE, waste oils,...)

  6. INSTITUTIONS • INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK • Ministryof Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction • general policy, legislation + enforcement (inspection) • Permits for Hazardous waste / Incineration • Croatian Environment Agency– data, information system, reporting • Environment Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund – co-financing waste projects, organization of collection/recovery schemes (fee collection) • 21 County offices – regional self-government units • waste management plans preparation, permits for non-hazardous waste • 429 municipalities / 127 towns – local self-government offices • measures-municipal waste, separate collection

  7. STATUS • NATIONAL INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -underway • -Last 5-6 years – numerous activities and measures in waste sector •  large improvements • Measures for increase of separate collection/ recovery - implementing • (collection schemes and treatment facilities for special waste categories) • Remediation of landfills and hot-spots - in progress • -Construction of waste management centres (WMC) – in preparation • (network of max. 21 WMCs – to apply MBT+ waste to energy plant for City of Zagreb) • Information system –developing • Economic instruments - introduced • (charges for burdening environment with waste; fees for puting the certain products on the market)

  8. WASTE MANAGEMENTMUNICIPAL WASTE • MUNICIPAL WASTE • Produced in 2008 • – 403 kg / inhabitant (1,788,311 t) • 86%mixed municipal waste (2008) • Landfilled, without treatment • Separate collection – improving • (247 252 t in 2008) • 14% Other municipal waste types, • including bulky waste • not all for recovery • Population covered by organized • collection - 93%

  9. WASTE MANAGEMENTMUNICIPAL WASTE • BIODEGRADABLE WASTE from municipal waste • Almost all quantities landfilled • 1,088,196 t (2008) • 32000 t composted • (green waste) • 6 composting plants

  10. WASTE MANAGEMENTMUNICIPAL WASTE HAZARDOUS WASTE Estimated quantities – 213 000 t Reported – 58 432 t (2008) No landfill, no public incinerator Waste oils (incineration /cement kilns)

  11. WASTE MANAGEMENTSPECIAL WASTE CATEGORIES • SPECIAL WASTE CATEGORIES • for which concessions are given for collection and treatment / recovery • Ordinances adopted on: • packaging waste • waste tyres • waste oils    • waste batteries and accumulators   • end-of-life vehicles • WEEE • -Fee collection from producers/importers of product, • -compensation of expences for collection/treatment/recovery • Environment Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund (EPEEF) • New facilities for treatment/recovery put in operation

  12. WASTE MANAGEMENTSPECIAL WASTE CATEGORIES Tyres- max 30% from collected quantities to be used for energy purposes (cement kilns) WEEE (2008) 2009 - 3 kg/inh, 2010 – 4 kg/inh? • Waste oils (Lubricant)- 2008 - collected • 7 058 t (39%)Recovery (cement kilns)

  13. WASTE MANAGEMENTSPECIAL WASTE CATEGORIES • Other Special waste categories regulated by ordinances (2007/2008) • waste containing asbestos; medical waste; construction waste; wastewater treatment sludge when used in agriculture; polychlorinated biphenils and polychlorinated terphenils; waste from research and mining of mineral raw materials • Construction waste • Recycling does not exceed 7%, poor data • Medical waste • Autoclaving 81% • Wastewater treatment sludge • 106 wastewater treatment plants, sludge management: • -stored on site • -landfilling • Animal by-product • Collection and treatment by rendering plant 65000 t (2008) • PCB (transformers, condensors) – inventory building

  16. FACILITIES • Landfills – remediation in progress • 300 „official” landfills • Municipal Waste Landfills Remediation cost – 387 mil € • financing by EPEEF (55%) and self-government units • 2010: • 92 municipal landfills remediated • 649 wild dumpsites remediated • Transitional period requested for remediation of landfills for 2018 and for gradual reduction of biodegradable waste to 35% by 2020.

  17. FACILITIES • Waste management centres (county, regional) • Max. 21 WMC (MBT + 1 waste to energy plant) • mechanical biological treatment • Planned completion of construction - end of 2018 • Planned investment - financing by EPEEF and EU funds (Pre-accession and Cohesion Fund)-up to 80%, 20% by local / regional self-govermnet units • -ISPA funds – 6 MEUR – Šibenik-Knin Couny – execution of works started • -Preparation for IPA programme 2007-2009 – two locations approved (Primorje-Gorski kotar, Istra county – 13,2 MEUR)

  18. FACILITIES Economic instruments Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund (EPEEF) extra-budgetary institution - finance environmental protection programmes and projects The EPEEF collects different environmental charges as its own revenue, which includes -charges for burdening the environment with hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste. -collects or pay charges within specific waste streams collection/recovery schemes, prescribed in detail by different ordinances regulating special waste categories.

  19. CONCLUSION • CONCLUSION • Big efforts to cope with EU and national requirements • Objectives and targets fullfilment • Some already accomplished • -Some will be hard to accomplish – e.g. diverting biodegradable waste from landfills • Important factors influencing the speed of fullfillment: • financing factor • social factor (education, public awareness, approach to public in project planning)

  20. CONCLUSION Data / reporting

CEA responsibilities Croatian Environment Agency (CEA) CEA role – definedin Waste Actand sub-laws Responsible for datagathering/ running info-system / reporting CEA - Appointed as centralinstitutionwhichwillcoordinatereporting to theEuropeanComission on theimplementationofenvironmentallegislation CEA processthedataand information on wasteandwasteflows: • COMPANIES and FACILITIES (permits / registers) • WASTE TYPES / QUANTITIES (consignementforms, Waste inventory-KEO) • IMPORT / EXPORT • DOCUMENTS /PROJECTS /LEGISLATION • INDICATORS

  22. INFORMATION SYSTEM • WASTE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM – developing • Data quality and quantity – improving • CEA Databases • Waste management permits register (on-line database) • Environment Emission Register (ROO) - data on generated, • collected and waste recovered/disposed, by waste types (on-line data entry) • Landfill Inventory - GIS database • Waste Management Plans Database • Databases on special waste streams • Transboundary movement database

  23. Waste datacollection Data collection - data on waste - directedmostly to CEA - some data on specificwastestreamscollectedbyEnvironmentalProtectionand Energy EfficiencyFund - biannualstatisticalsurveys on wasteflows – Central BureauofStatistics - dataon transboundarymovement – Ministry Problems: • Duplicationofdatacollection • Poordataquality • Networkingofcompetentinstitutions / information systemdevelopment
