WF-RepTool‚Back to the basics’ Renate Gabriel WF-RepTool day, Amsterdam 10th October 2013
Overview • Background target • Structure & way of data input • Simplifications / delimitations • Options of WF-RepTool reports • Options to use / work with WF-RepTool reports • Advantages • Software tool & administration
WF-RepTool - background • treatment results2002(det. in 2003) not comparable! • de-pollution results influenced by e.g. • different obligations (interpretation of laws) • different names for waste fractions • recycling & recovery results influenced by e.g. • the classification of technologies • chosen “rates of recycling” calculated • e.g. LHHA recycling rate 70 % 90 %
WF-RepTool - target … to achieve comparable results- comparable between… > treatment partners > WEEE systems > countries … for reporting to EU-commission … to determine results of the wholetreatment chain … applicable for documentation of each treatment step / partner
WF-RepTool – structure • ‘common language’ - names for fractions, technologies,… ! • ‘WF-RepLists’ = ‘background data’ (update on base of needs) • automatic calculation for recycling & recovery rates INPUT fractions - clear names - not EWC - daily routine - sampling results • OUTPUT • fractions • clear names • EWC+WEEE Dir. • all steps • list of choices • technologies • used • clear names • interim <> final • headlines • WF model • classification • interpretation of • EU laws • option of national classification chart
WF-RepTool – INPUT-Fractions • ‘mix’ of kinds of appliances with different EWC codes EWC codes NOT applicable!!! ‘collection codes’ • collection in daily practice – based on treatment requirements • cooling & freezing appliances specific treatment • large (household) appliances large shredders • CRT appliances specific treatment • small/medium appliances dismantling / shredding • lamps – specific treatment • option for sampling results of ‘mixed’ INPUT fractions (diff. WEEE categories) calculation of ‘target’ recycling & recovery rates
WF-RepTool OUTPUT-Fractions … built up on: • the ‘European Waste Catalogue’– EWC • requirements from the WEEE - Directive(Annex II) • ‘knowledge’ regarding possible fractions (interim & final fractions) • OUTPUT about 275 ‘fractions’ = list of choices • adapted on base of ‘needs’ • NEW: short lists for input categories & material grouping
WF-RepTool - Technologies • technologies used for WEEE and WEEE fractions • ‘headlines’ for technologies (e.g. ‘separation’ – different technologies) • structured to • ‘interim technologies’(shredding, separation etc.) and • ‘final technologies(e.g. copper smelter, glass smelter , diff. incineration plants, landfill etc.) • about 70 ‘headlines’ for technologies • adapted on base of ‘needs’
WF-RepTool - classification • interpretation of European laws + judgements of the EU court • classify the (target of) ‘use’of‘final fractions’ / ‘shares’in ‘final processes’ • pre-selection of possible ‘uses’ • examples for final processes • ‘WEEE Forum = modelclassification’ to • RU - reuse of components(NEW WEEE Dir. 2012/WFD 2008: also for appliances) • MR - material recycling (NEW WEEE Dir. 2012/WFD 2008: R – recycling, OMR – other material recovery) • ER - energy recovery • (TD or LD) D – thermal or landfill (=other) disposal • option for a ‘national classification’ ( reports to authorities)
Way of data input • describe/choose data source – treatment partner, INPUT material +/- any remarks, INPUT amount,… 6 steps … • internal yield - OUTPUT fractions • acceptors / technologies used • data on yield / composition of fractions • select ‘use’ in final process • classification • calculation 1 2 3 4 5 6
step 1– internal yield • OUTPUT fractionsnamesand amounts [kg] • annual data (e.g. internal production reports) • period data (e.g. internal production reports) • or • results from batches • option for ‘internal names’ (e.g. used by company) • option for ‘internal codes’ (e.g. used by company)
step 2– acceptors / technologies • ‘acceptors’ for fractions • ‘names’(confidential between WEEE system <> treatment partner)- necessary for control(e.g. plausibility, downstream monitoring) • you may accept no names or ‘different xxx’ • ‘pure’ metal fractions • fractions for disposal operations (MWI’s, HWI’s, landfills) • end-of-waste (but info on intended technology! MR <> ER) • need of names of operators for technologies ‘special’, ‘high energy efficient’ • technologies used – essential for selection of use& classification! 4
step 3– yield /composition • yield of fractions from following treatment step(s) (e.g. separation) • up to • composition of fractions forwarded to ‘final processes’ (e.g. smelter) • composition data NOT necessary IF ‘disposal’ • 100 % of one component IF pure fractions (< 2 % ‘impurities) • What to do if no data available? • agree & use data from batches • use general information from acceptor/s • use experience data • start with best estimations • NEW : use ‘WEEE Forum packages’
step 4– ‘use’ in final process • select the (target of) ‘use’ in ‘final process’ from pre-selection • use / search for example technologies provided • base for classification • WF-classification automaticallyprovided • option for ‘national classification’ • calculation of recycling & recovery rates • automatically 5 6
Simplifications / delimitations • 2 % limit‘ for ‚pure‘ fractions (1 % in discussion) • often higher quality criteria in daily / delivery practise! • target of use of input (of ‘shares’)to ‘final processes’ – not yield of processes (not ‘copper yield’) • option to provide real yield data (some % Cu ‘no use’ or other use) • option to provide data on ‘residues’ (organic, inorganic) other use in process • option to adapt the tool in the future • no ‘environmental’ or ‘eco-efficiency’ classification of technologies • possible as ‘next steps‘ in the future
Options - WF-RepTool reports (1) • Data ofone report • ‘First fractions’ – fractions from 1st treatment step • ‘Overview’ – ‘treatment tree’, details on all treatment steps • ‘Final’ – overview on all final fractions achieved / documented • ‘Calculation’ – final fractions + classification of use • ‘Analyze’ – e.g. totals of components [%] • calculation of ‘total amounts’ [kg] (of RU, MR/R, ...) • calculation of recycling & recovery rates achieved • Option • calculate annual amounts [kg] based on ‘batches’ or ‘period data’ (copy/paste e.g. batch report > paste with total input)
Options - WF-RepTool reports (2) • Option ofsummary reports e.g. (‘Pro’ only) • period data / batches annual data per TP • annual data per WEEE cat. or use ‘Summaries’ • Option of‘Summaries’ (mainly for WEEE system / administrator level) e.g. • ‚Summary‘ on ‚collection and treatment category‘ • ‚Summary‘ on annual amounts
Options – use of / work with reports (1) • Report treatment results to WEEE system / client • NEW: Multiple use of reports (download & upload) • Summary reports (‘Pro’ only) (creates a new report!) • criteria-selection on base of all database contents e.g. • calculate & show annual data per WEEE input category (several periods of one TP, several TP’s,...) • Options for individual or summary reports • Download all report versions (Overview, Calculation, Analyze,...) as pdf or Excel format • Provide reports to authority (see different options of details to be shown)
Options – use of /work with reports (2) • ‘Summaries’ (does not create a new report!) • criteria-selection on base of all database contents e.g. • ‚Summary‘ on ‚collection and treatment category‘ – total result for WEEE system (e.g. selected reports or all TP’s), R&R rates achieved • ‚Summary‘ on annual amounts – e.g. total result of WEEE managed by WEEE system / client, total amounts of output fractions • option to export data to Excel file • e.g. use data for report to authority • NEW: Option to ‘Compare’ reports – e.g. ‘Analyze’ results (‘Pro’ only) • NEW: Option of ‘Controller remarks’ – give feedback to reporters (‘Pro’ only)
Advantages • data input by treatment partners (<> studies) • data collection for following treatment steps ‘once’ • only to be adapted if changes in acceptors / technologies • option for use reports for several WEEE systems / clients • option to build up transparent data • easier to be checked by auditors • ‘level the playing field’ • comparable data for … • treatment partners • WEEE systems • clear data base to report to national authority >> EU Comm.
Software tool & administration • WF-RepTool is a database program designed as web based application • WEEE Forum server for ‘background data’ - update of program and WF-RepLists by the WEEE Forum (coordinated by expert group) • servers at WEEE systems / clients – WEEE system / client has to administrate WF-RepTool according to needs (e.g. allows Agent feature, download/upload of reports, ...) • see separate user manual ‘system level’ • treatment partners report to WEEE systems / clients • see user manual ‘reporter level’ server & administration structure
