3 Solid Waste Sector Information No. Item MPPP MPSP Unit 1 Quantity of waste generated annually 288, ,275 Tonnes/year(2012) 2 Quantity of waste generated daily Tonnes/day (2012) 3 Quantity of waste generated per capita Kg/capita/day 4 Total number of households in the city 189, ,829 Households 5 Percentage of municipal budget used for solid waste sector Percent

4 COMPOSITION OF MUNICIPAL WASTE Item MPPP % Food 33% Yard & Garden 10% Paper 28% Plastics 15% Textile/Rubber 3% Metal 5% Hazardous 0% Others 6% Solid waste in Penang Island consists of 43% of organic waste.

5 Table 4: Estimate of Solid Waste Generation by Source on Penang Island 5 Source: estimated by Study Team, 2005 (UNDP SWM Project) Note: There are high proportions of organic and recyclable waste fractions in this estimate. Source Waste Generation rate (kg/c/d) Amount of Waste (tonne/day) Organic Waste (tonne/day) Recyclable Waste (tonne/day) Non-Recyclable Waste (tonne/day) Household (HR) Household (LR) Household (Individual) Industrial Wet market (stall) Hawkers stall Hotel (room) School College Hospital (Beds) Hypermarkets (m2) Universities Turf Club (Manure) 10.0 Total

6 ORGANIC WASTE CHALLENGES Waste Stream Priority Area of Capacity Building Issues Organic Waste 2 Policy and regulatory 1 Technical and scientific understanding State in the process of formulating organic waste policy for food and green waste accounts for 40% to 60% of MSW good collection system needed Understanding of general public on issue is poor do not see the necessity to separate the waste at source need for more technology to process waste at source into useful by-products. 3 Financial Lack of resources for collection equipment and system capacity to raise/secure funds needed increasing costs of waste management no ready market for compost or organic byproducts 4 Social Stakeholders don t understand the benefits of separating waste capacity for awareness raising and community involvement needed 5 Institutional Lack of coordination among responsible institutions capacity for strengthening of institutions and clarification of authorities needed private sector, commercial, industry needs to participate in source separation

7 APPROPRIATE ACTIONS

8 KEY POINTS FOR ORGANIC WASTE DIVERSION Waste Diversion From Landfill : To divert the amount of organic waste (putrescibles) from the Pulau Burong Sanitary Landfill and moving towards a total ban in the long term. Managing Cost Effectiveness : To reduce the costs of collection, transfer and treatment of organic waste for the local authorities by treating organic waste at source. Incentivising the System : To incentivise organic waste treatment by private and community efforts through costs savings by local authorities. Capacity Building : To emulate nature and return all organic outputs to food production, parks and gardens and energy production thereby completing the nutrient cycle to ensure a sustainable food supply and security.

9 Mixed waste hinders efficient resource recovery. Engineering: Creating more diversion points for recyclables and organic waste; CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR FOR ORGANIC WASTE DIVERSION Effective Regulation : Waste Separation at source yet to be implemented; Waste Generator Pay Principle. Education and Enforcement : Changing people s mindset and practices Efficiency : Outsource the collection, transfer and disposal services to the private sector based on PPP programme.. Incorporate waste minimisation initiative during mega events. Moving forward towards a resource efficient and material cycle society.

10 AREAS OF POTENTIAL ACTIVITIES

11 POTENTIAL ACTIVITIES 1. Methane avoidance organic waste diversion through food waste separation for composting and conversion to bio soil enhancer at High Rise Communities, Wet Market and Food Outlets. - Output Based Programme to incentivize solid waste separation 2. Treatment of Landfill Gas 3. Zero discharge system for pig farming area with conversion of pig waste into bio-gas, compost or algae cultivation

12 ORGANIC WASTE DIVERSION APPROACH 1. Processing the food / kitchen waste on site with a food waste processing machine, 2. Diverting food / kitchen waste for community composting, 3. Diverting food / kitchen waste to an existing organic waste treatment facility and 4. A combination of methodologies (2) and (3).

21 KNOWLEDGE SHARING 1. Implementation of 5Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Reinvent and Rethink) through various forms of partnerships and collaboration with the private sector (Public Private Partnership Model ) in archieving a resource efficient society. 2. Green School Award

22 GREEN SCHOOL AWARD CLEANLINESS & GREENING COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT DIVERSION OF WASTE (RECYCLE) GREEN SCHOOL AWARD ENERGY & WATER SAVING *Awareness Component : To reach out to the student *Assesment Component: Focus on four basic principles to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of green school award module. INNOVATION & CREATIVITY

23 3R BEST PRACTICES Composting and Mudball Program Awareness Program Landscappe Coooking Oil Waste

24 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE INCENTIVISING THE SYSTEM Formula for incentives Working out a fair and viable incentive scheme for waste diversion Forms and nature of incentives. TOOLS Appropriate quantification tools to demonstrate the emission reduction for the potential action.

25 NEXT STEPS

26 Strong political will Public education & awareness campaigns for behavioural change Strong ground champions and supportive NGOs Strong Community support and participation Incentives & Penalties

27 CONCLUSION Your Environment, Your Ownership Focus on the waste generator and not on the waste generated! Waste generators must pay!

28 Your waste is my treasure! Time people take ownership of their waste. Waste management costs money! But.. Good waste management makes money!
