Release to the Oceans
About 13 million tonnes of plastic leak intoour oceans every year, harming biodiversity, economies and,potentially, our own health.
Technology for a better society
Improved treatment of plastic waste is needed
International action is key to tackle the most significant sources of plastics litter in the oceans, i.e. insufficient waste management infrastructure in developing countries and emerging economies, especially connected to major world river basins, landfills and industrial sites.

Out of 6.3 Billion ton plastic waste generated up to 2015, around 9% has been recycled, 12% incinerated while 79% has been "dumped". If continued, 12 Billion ton
plastic waste will be mismanaged by 2050.

Recent research shows that only a tiny fraction is recycled
Recycling can also lead to unintended consequences. PET bottles are readily recycled. However, instead of producing new PET bottles, about 80 per cent of recycled PET is used for fibre production in, for example, the clothing industry.
Fibres are readily lost from these fabricsduring wear and washing, generating a significant source of microplastics in the environment.

OPTOCE aims to showcase that the involvement of Resource and Energy Intensive Industries, like cement manufacturing, can increase the treatment capacity for Plastic Wastes.
Their incentive is to recover the energy and replace coal in their production process, a win-win concept and a fundamental pillar in circular economy.
Main Objective
Technology for a better society
The five partner countries have currently few environmentally sound treatment options but thousands of cement-, steel- and coal fired power plants using billions of tons of coal and emitting more than 30% of the
world GHGs.
Improved waste management
Cost-efficient waste management will reduce pollution, exposure to hazardous chemicals and reduce possible health impacts
Resource Efficiency
Virgin non-renewable fossil fuels and raw materials will be saved improving sustainability!
Emission reduction
Co-processing will reduce allemissions in the long run because the industry will be regulated under another regulatory scheme and thereby improve their overall performance

Co-processing of wastes in cement kilns versus incineration
Cement kilns Incinerators with generation of electricity/steam
Purpose Industrial production of cement clinker Reduce the volume of organic waste by burning
Circular economy?
Yes; co-processing of wastes replaces coal and raw materials Disputable, basically disposal of wastes
Temperature ranges
1500-2000 0C. Inherent features, e.g. time, temperatures and oxidising conditions are
excellent for waste destruction800-1100 0C
Construction investment
costs
Facilities are already in place and operates at all time. The industry bears the investment and
operation costsExpensive to build, operate and maintain
Cost for waste disposal Usually cost-efficient Varies widely; 10-200 USD/t
Energy utilization efficiency
Approaches 100%.Low energy efficiency, range 15 ~ 25%. Electricity production will not recover the
Construction costs
Waste types versatility
Certain limitations; pre-treatment of the wastes is usually needed
More versatile than CKs, but wet wastes in rainy season makes efficient operation
difficult and will lead to emissions
Production of residues Usually no residues to dispose of
~ 30% of the incinerated waste ends up as residues and need to be disposed of in
landfills
Emissions Will normally be unaffected if properly operated Exit gas have often high concentrations of dioxins and other air-pollutants
Green house gases
Reduces CO2 emissions compared to landfilling and incineration
Building WtE-incinerators will add the number of emission points in a country

OPTOCE aims to carry out limited Pilot Demonstrations in local plants to document the feasibility of Co-processing PW and to prove the concept under various local conditions and circumstances and to cover a range of expected representative scenarios, to uncover limitations with the practice and to provide answers to common perceptions and misunderstandings.
The Pilot Demonstrations need to document the performance, i.e. describe the PW co-processing capacity, environmental performance, cost- and energy efficiency, and the need for pre-treatment and preparation of the PW prior to co-processing, limitations in types and volumes of PW which can be co-processed etc.
The overall aim is to provide a quantitative and qualitative assessment how the involvement of private industry can improve plastic waste management and prevent marine litter in each country.

Vietnam is currently one of largest sources of PW to the sea but has no systematic collection or treatment of non-recyclable PW.
Only one cement plant is practicing Co-processing in Vietnam today, currently replacing approximately 15% of its coal with industrial hazardous wastes.
Paper recycling industry is a large producer of plastic waste, and Vietnams largest paper factory (Lee & Man) produce about 50 000 t/y plastic waste. Today most of this end up in landfills.
The aim of the Vietnam demonstration in 2020 is to investigate the environmental benefits of transporting PW from Lee & Man paper industry to Co-process it as a fuel source at the INSEE Hon Chong plant.

To improve the utilization of domestic waste and plastic waste, UNDP is implementing a model to improve segregation and waste management in five Vietnam cities. As much as possible of the plastic waste is recycled but a large part is non-recyclable.
In collaboration with UNDP, a second OPTOCE pilot in 2020 will investigate the environmental impacts of using Co-processing as a treatment method for the segregated non-recyclable plastic waste from the UNDP project.
The two Vietnam pilots will be done in cooperation with VEA, local DONREs, UNDP, IUCN, WWF, local paper and cement industries and Ho Chi Minh technical University.

There is currently no systematic collection or treatment of non-recyclable PW in Myanmar and no Co-processing in the cement industry. The treatment practice is limited to landfilling/dumping; one Incinerator with WtE is available outside Yangon.
There is a potential of release of PW to the Irrawaddy river and to the Sea.
The aim of the Myanmar activity in 2020 is to raise awareness and to build capacity in industry and among authorities about the potential of involving the cement industry in future Co-processing activities.
Prepare the first draft of the Technical Guidelines for Co-processing in Cement Kilns and conduct the consultation meetings to finalise the Guidelines and Licensing Criteria (preconditions).

OPTOCE - Ocean Plastic Turned into an Opportunity in Circular EconomyRationale• ~80% of marine debris comes from land
based sources, i.e. rivers, landfills and industrial sites.
• Asian countries are among the top 20 contributors to marine litter and microplastics; waste treatment capacity is generally inadequate.
Objective• Pilot demonstrations will be conducted
where non-recyclable plastic wastes will be energy-recovered in local energy intensive industry, constituting a win-win concept and a fundamental pillar in circular economy.
• Such practice will increase the treatment capacity for plastics, reduce the need for landfilling and incineration, reduce the consumption of non-renewable fossil fuels and finally reduce the release of GHGs.
• Lessons learned will be shared through a regional multi-stakeholder forum enabling awareness raising, capacity building and efficient replication across the continent.
• Initial partner countries are China, India, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar, but the final selection will be subject to their Baseline situation and their willingness to engage in the project with own resources. Other countries might be considered.
OPTOCE aims to reduce the release of plastic wastes to the
ocean by involving local energy intensive
industries in waste management and energy recovery.
This will increase the waste treatment capacity in Asian
countries and constitute a sustainable cost-efficient option in integrated waste
management.
