1 Resource efficiency in Sweden The roadmap, resource independency and waste as a resource Sofia Tingstorp Ministry of Environment, division of chemicals

2 Contents of the presentation Swedish vision on the roadmap to a resource efficient Europe Reducing climate impact, energy efficiency: Sustainable cities project Turning waste into a resource Facts and responsibilities of waste in Sweden? Prevention is always best? What instruments do we use? What future instruments do we need?

3 Swedish vision on the roadmap to a resource efficient Europe Sweden warmly welcomes the roadmap Transform the economy -in line with several SE priorities (market based instruments, environmental harmful subsidarities, right price) Toxic free material cycles - essential Payment Ecosystems services

4 Sustainable cities project promote the sustainable development of cities, urban communities and housing areas. Cities can be part of the solution on climate change- energy efficiency, renewables etc. Support and seek economic growth, social cohesion and decreased climate impact in cities

5 Project Sustainable Cities: Järva- Stockholm suburb Resource efficiency actions with focus on energy efficiency, renewables energy, green transport Insolation, ventilation with heat recovery, new windows, wind turbines, LED lighting, pathways bicycles, methods of energy-efficient refurbishment Energy consumption will be more than halved to 88 kwh/m2 (Target new buildings 110)

6 Turning waste into a resource

7 The amounts of waste in Sweden Total amount generated 100 million tonnes (60 million mining waste) 70% 3.4 % 2.1 % 4.5% 0.3 % Industry C&D Energy water, sewage MSW Forest Agriculture

8 The municipal waste task: Treatment of municipal waste in Sweden 2010 Municipal waste (463 kg / capita Total 4.36 million tonnes Hazardous waste (1.2 %) Incineration (48.7 %) Landfill (1 %) Recycling (35.7 %) Biological treatment (13.5 %)

9 Prevention is always best; attitudes of Swedes 80 % do something to decrease the generation of waste. Eat all food, buy ecolabelled foods, second hand, high quality goods 75 % is prepared to do more. 33 % does not think their private consumption effect the amount of waste. 50 % believed that more information would make them throw less. 10 % think higher cost would make them change behaviour

10 What instruments and policy do we use? Swedish waste politics and existing instruments have been efficiently focused to turn away from landfilling towards increased recycling and energy recovery waste planning, landfill tax ban on combustible/organic waste national environmental objects

11 Responsibility for collection of waste in Sweden Municipalities are responsible for the collection of household waste Industrial waste the holder Producers responsibility packagings, e-waste, ELV, batteries, paper Producers have an economic and physical responsibility. For the collection -they have organised themselves in materialcompanies

12 What future instruments do we need; the way forward Other recovery Recycling (energy) Landfilling Preparing for re-use Prevention Waste management shall be Resource efficient and without haz substances Efficient for the society Simple for users

13 What future instruments do we need; concrete measures Efficient/Separated collection Updated environmental targets- biowaste targets Waste prevention programme Innovation -Environmental technology New research programme, Mistra Closing the Loop. The purpose of this research is sustainable recovery of valuable resources from industrial waste.
