  3. Types of Waste (simplified figure) Waste generator has responsibility Municipalities have responsibility Business related Domestic wastes

  4. Municipality’s responsibilityThe domestic wastes include specially managed general wastes Business related Domestic wastes

  5. Industrial Waste Details (FY2007) Wastes generation by business Classified waste type Unit: 1000 tons Unit: 1000 tons

  6. Industrial Waste Ranking (FY2007) Wastes generation by business Classified waste type Sludge Livestock excreta(night soil) Construction waste Slag Dust Metal waste Waste plastics Wood chips Waste acid Glass & ceramic waste • Utilities:E.Power , Wateretc. • Agriculture • Construction • Steel • Paper, pulp • Chemical • Mining • Ceramic etc. • Food manufacturing • Electronic

  9. Teshima case： \2000－\300＝\1700 • RM80 – RM12= RM68 • Metal recovery from ASR(automobile shredder residue): ASR was sold to a landfill operator RM12/ton, however, RM80 per ton was requested as shipping charge. • They contended that ASR has commercial value, not wastes, and their operation is not covered by Waste regulations. It is just a camouflage and they were accused. ‘Ferosilt’ \3000－\150＝\2850RM120-RM6=RM114 Huge chemical company sold sludge mixed ‘construction soil’ RM6/ton, however, paid RM120 kickback as marketing fee. The company simply paid RM114/ton as waste disposal? Plant senior manager got two-year imprisonment and RM1.6 million fine. 9

  10. Basic waste management rules • Waste generators have strict responsibilities to manage their wastes, however, the duty to treat municipal wastes lies with local government. • Without issuing waste manifests or a written contract , the generator shall have a duty to recover any illegal dumping. • Special wastes mean being explosive, ignitable, poisonous, or infectious and may be harmful to human health or to the living environment.

  11. Penalty under Wastes laws and regulations • Until 1970s there are no major rules on wastes. • In 1977, waste treatment & landfilling business required to reporting duty. • In 1992 permission systems introduced and scheduled ‘Special wastes’ • as well as manifest system was implemented. • In case of illegal dumping; 6 months imprisonment or \500,000 fine • In 1997 • In case of illegal dumping; 3 years imprisonment or \10,000,000 fine • If the violator is an entities, penalty will be up to \100,000,000. • In 2000 • In case of illegal dumping; 5 years imprisonment or \10,000,000 fine • In 2005 In case of manifest not utilized, 6 months imprisonment or \500,000 fine • Now, in case of illegal dumping; 3 years imprisonment or \10,000,000 fine If violator is an entity; Penalty will be up to \300,000,000 (RM12million)

  12. Scheduled or hazardous waste Malaysia:Scheduled wastes • Metal and metal bearing Arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium etc. • Inorganic constituents Asbestos, catalysts, toxic sludge, gypsum(Power plant) • Inorganic or organic Alkali(>11.5), toxic wastes, clinker, dioxin, contaminated soil, inks, paints, dye, leachate Malaysia: ‘On-site treatment facility’ means a facility located on a waste generator’s site and that is used solely to deal with scheduled wastes produced on that site, not scheduled wastes incinerators nor land treatment facilities. Special Industrial Waste • Flammable waste oil • Acid (<pH 2.0) Alkali(>12.5) • Infectious medical waste • Specified classes • PCB, Asbestos etc. • Toxic waste (ex. sludge leachable nature)mg/L MeHg(ND), Hg comp.(0.005), Cad(0,3),Pb(0.3), Org.Phosphorus(1), Crom6(1.5), Arsenic(0,3), cyanide(1), PCB(0.003), TCE(0.3), PCE(0.1),- - - - - Benzine(0.1), Selenium(0.3) Dioxins(3ng/g) What is a hazardous waste?USA RCRA: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity and toxicity. USA: If a waste is considered solid waste, it must then be determined if it is hazardous waste. Wastes are defined as hazardous by US EPA if they are specifically named on one of four lists of hazardous wastes or if they exhibit one of four characteristics (characteristic wastes). 

  13. Wastes generated from business (Japan) Generated from all Industry Specific generatoronly (examples) Paper (printing, contractor) Wood(lumber-mill, contractor) Texture/fiber(fabric manuf.) Animal waste (slaughter) Vegetable/plant residue (food) Excreta (livestock breeder) Dead livestock (stock breeder) • Cinder (bottom ash) • Sludge (waste water) • Acid(all acid waste) • Alkali(all alkali waste) • Plastics • Rubber(not synthetic) • Metal(Fe, Al) • Glass/China • Slug • Concrete debris • Dust(chimney soot ) • Other (ex. concrete mixed wastes)

  14. Municipal wastes and a permit Municipal Wastes Business License to handle wastes and waste related facility permit Collection and transportation Selection and sorting Treatment Incinerate, dewater, neutralize, crush/pulverize, compost etc. Final disposal (landfill) Prefectures and major cities playas the primary planning, budgeting, regulating, and implementing entities for the management of solid waste, such as household garbage and some industrial wastes (general wastes generated from certain business such as paper and wood). Central and local governments have responsibilities to make better decisions in dealing with waste issues, including but not limited to maintain waste management (3R: reduce, recycle, and reuse). Wastes Collection Wastes Incineration (Reduce wastes) Solid waste landfills Facility inspection and permission - Selection and sorting facility - Facilities to incinerate, dewater, neutralize, crush/pulverize etc. - Landfills
