The BALKWASTE Project
• LIFE07 ENV/RO/000686
• Total Budget: 869.452 € (50% co-funded)
• Duration: January 2009 – December 2011
• Participating CountriesGreece, Romania, Slovenia, Bulgaria
• Sustainable Waste Management Planning in the Balkan Region

The BALKWASTE Project
• Main objective of the Balkwaste Project is to deliver a decision
support software in order to:
1. Provide a multidisciplinary (environmental, economic, social) comparison of different waste management technologies
2. Identify how the most appropriate technologies can be implemented within an integrated waste management framework
3. Support competent authorities in developing sustainable waste management strategy

LIFE07 ENV/RO/000686
The BALKWASTE Project
• The software will guide the user to formulate and compare alternative integrated waste management scenarios
• It will be applied and validated in the two case studies area (Razlog and North-East Region)
• The validation will be performed using actual collected data (sampling results and existing infrastructure)

GREECE
- 5,6 mio. Tones of MSW per year
- Around 44% is organic waste showing decreasing trends
- Currently no separation at source schemes are active
- MBT is the only mean of diversion

SLOVENIA
- 855.595 Tones of MSW (2007)
- Around 39% is organic waste
- Small quantities are collected through separation at source schemes (16.568 tones in 2006)
- 8 composting facilities and 2 anaerobic digestion facilities treating organic fraction of msw

BULGARIA
- 3.103.000 Tones of MSW (2006)
- Around 57,7% is biodegradable
- No separation at source schemes are active
- Home composting in single municipalities (around 5.500 households)

ROMANIA
- 12.375.890 Tones of MSW (2007)
- Around 46% is organic waste
- Small quantities are collected through separation at source schemes
- 5 composting facilities operating and 2 under construction

ROMANIAThe Piatra – Neamt Composting Facility
- Capacity of 25.000 tons - Only a reduced number of citizens participate to the separate collection
system- Collected quantities are low from both qualitative and quantitative points of
view- In 2007
13.132 tons processed 3.468 tons composted 9.664 tons landfilled 1.599 tons of compost produced
- Compost market is underdeveloped. In 2008 compost quantities from 2007 remained unsold

SAMPLING ANALYSIS IN ROMANIA AND BULGARIA
- On site sorting analysis & laboratory tests
- Romania during Dec. 2009 and May 2010 in 6 counties
- Bulgaria during Nov. 2009 and May 2010 in 1 region

The fractions after the 1st step sorting
• recyclable materials– a subjective aspect– depends on known and common technologies– depends on the samplers skills and knowledge– common materials (paper, plastic, metals, glass, wood etc.)– “clean” – non-contaminated, non-composite
• Non-recyclable materials– combustible (composites: plastic-paper-alu-foil); contaminated, small
pieces etc.– wood, rubber, mixed plastic …
• inert and other materials– ceramic– glass

The fractions after the 2nd step sorting
Sorting of the rest after the 1st step sorting. Small pieces of (in practice) non-
recyclable materials, contaminated with organic waste.
• common materials
– paper, plastic, metals, glass, wood
– only in gross
• the rest was noticed as biological
– no method (on site) to determine the biological
part of waste and inert (soil, chippings, debris
from demolition etc.)

• Reliability of 75%
• The reliability interval has been justified through an official letter to the EU Commission by SUROVINA
• Effort was made to achieve the high degree of reliability always taking the project budget into consideration
