JASPERS’ support for improving integrated waste management
PROSPECTS OF IMPLEMENTING INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT IN ROMANIA IN 2014 –
2020
Mamaia, 26 June 2014
2
In 2007, JASPERS worked in 12 countries; today, JASPERS works in 17 countries
3
Challenges in new Member States
Landfill disposal is by far the most common way
In many cases, landfills are not compliant
No tradition or means (e.g. no separate collection) for recovery and recycling
Waste Hierarchy
Landfill Directive (minimization of environmental hazards)
Targets in Packaging Waste Directive (recovery & recycling)
Poor application of Polluter Pays Principle and, in any case, significant affordability constraints
Significant investment needs to bring the systems up to the standards
…in direct conflict with: Observed issue…
Waste Hierarchy
Fragmentation of sector and weak institutional setting
Efficient use of (scarce) available resources
Targets in Landfill Directive (diversion of biowaste)

Main drivers of integrated waste management project
Two main targets: Increase to a minimum of 50% by 2020, the preparing for
re-use and the recycling of waste materials such as at least paper, metal, plastic and glass from households and possibly from other origins as far as these waste streams are similar to waste from households (Article 11(2) of Directive 2008/98/EC); and
Reduce the amount of biodegradable municipal waste that is disposed of in landfills to 35% of 1995 levels by 2016 (Landfill Directive 1999/31/EC).
6
Typical cost breakdown of integrated waste management project
Cost of €40-50 million broken down as follows: €8-10 million for waste collection and sorting (bins,
platforms, transfer stations, sorting stations, home composters)
€24-30 million for treatment and disposal (mechanical-biological treatment, composting, landfills)
€8-10 million for closure of non-compliant landfills
7
Scope of JASPERS’ involvement
Two main tasks: Support the beneficiary in supervising consultants in
charge of preparing the project
Review project application and supporting documents before they are sent to the EC for approval
Goals: Ensure that option analysis selects option with highest
Economic Net Present Value
Design payment mechanism strong enough to ensure sustainability of waste management system
8
Key considerations
Construction of waste management infrastructure: A key step, but only the first step
Population needs to become a strong and reliable stakeholder:
Carry out continuously intensive awareness campaigns
Main challenge to reach the targets in the EU Directives: Operate the infrastructure properly
9
Successful recycling in Constanta, Romania
M&M receives plastic waste collected separately from households and businesses
Sorting capacity: 200 t/d
Production of plastic materials (LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, PP, BOPP granules)
Exports plastic films and plastic bags to Germany
10
Objectives of 2014-2020 Cohesion Policy
Regulation 1303/2013 (repealing Regulation 1083/2006):
Strengthen the EU’s economic, social and territorial cohesion
Align with ‘Europe 2020’ and its focus on smart, sustainable and inclusive growth
Increase thematic focus & performance orientation (ex-ante conditionality; performance reserve…)
11
New tool: ex-ante conditionality
Definition: "Applicable ex ante conditionality“: concrete and precisely
pre-defined critical factor, which is a necessary prerequisite for and has a direct and genuine link to and direct impact on the effective and efficient achievement of the specific objective for an investment priority or a Union priority." (Art 2 CPR –1303/2013)
Goals:
Improve the effectiveness of investment
Ensure that the necessary framework conditions for effective use of Union support are in place
12
Ex-ante conditionality for waste sector
Promoting economically and environmentally sustainable investments in the waste sector particularly by the development of waste management plans consistent with Directive 2008/98/EC on waste, and with the waste hierarchy
13
Four criteria for fulfilling ex-ante conditionality in waste sector
A report has been submitted to the Commission on progress towards targets of Article 11 of Directive 2008/98/EC and intended actions to meet the targets.
The existence of one or more waste management plans as required by Article 28 of Directive 2008/98/EC.
A Member State has established, consistent with Articles 1 and 4 of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste prevention programmes, as required by Article 29 of the Directive.
Necessary measures to achieve the target on re-use and recycling by 2020 consistent with Article 11.2 of Directive 2008/98/EC have been adopted.
14
Timetable for 2014-2020 programming
Adoption of partnership agreements:
by the end of August 2014 at the latest
Adoption of operational programmes:
by the end of January 2015 at the latest
15
Key changes since 2007-2013
Definition of major project (Art. 100):
Eligible costs > €50 million (€75 million for transport)
List of major projects to be included in Operational programme
Payment eligibility: 01.01.2014 - 31.12.2023
16
Key changes since 2007-2013 (Continued)
Possibility to use flat rate percentage (20% for waste) to determine potential net revenue (Art. 61)
Independent quality reviewers (IQR) (Art. 100-102)
Spend at least 20% of operational programme funds on climate-focused activities
17
Adapt solid waste management to climate change
Reinforce infrastructure against landslides and flooding
Identify disposal or treatment sites outside of floodplains
Adjust practices to take into account higher temperatures:
Reduced need for heat;
Increased odour problems;
Increased peak loads of leachate;
Increased opportunity to use solid waste compost to remediate depletion of organic matter in soil.
Compliant waste management practices strongly contribute to climate change mitigation –up to 72% of benefits from waste projects co-financed by EU funds in Romania
