1 Strategies for supply and disposal in the rural and urban living environment coupled with the transfer of knowledge Dr. Gunnar Hädrich GmbH Cleantech Made in Germany Industry Symposium IC, April 9 th 2013, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia What are we talking about? Example: Disposal of municipal solid waste uncontrolled disposal of municipal solid waste in the environment because of missing disposal infra structure Germany (former GDR, 1990) dumping of municipal solid waste without barriers, treatment or separation [Bundesarchiv, Bild , R. Hirschberger] Cambodia (2013) dumping of municipal solid waste of capital Phnom Penh in a sand/clay dig (incl. cut aquifer)

2 What are we talking about? Germany today - existence of complex recycling, re-utilisation and disposal system to warranty a more environmental friendly disposal Material + energy recycling (resources management) Pre-treatment (e.g. separate material flow management org. waste) Landfill facility (several diff. barriers) incl. emission treatment Sorting and incineration Technical landfilling Resource utilisation What are we talking about? Germany today - existence of complex recycling, re-utilisation and disposal system to warranty a more environmental friendly disposal Material + energy recycling (resources management) Pre-treatment (e.g. separate material flow management org. waste) Landfill facility (several diff. barriers) incl. emission treatment GDP-Proportion on waste disposal Germany < 1 % in 2008 Cambodia ~ 10 % in 2008 Malysia ~ 3 % in % 5% 10% GDP-Proportion 15% 20% [%] 25% GDP-Proportion spend for waste disposal in Germany Necessary GDP-Proportion to finance a similar waste management

3 What are we talking about? Germany today - existence of complex recycling, re-utilisation and disposal system to warranty a more environmental friendly disposal Material + energy recycling (resources management) 1:1-Implementation of German standards not everywhere Pre-treatment immediately (e.g. possible separate material flow management org. waste) But the wish for a clean environment exists Landfill facility (several diff. barriers) incl. emission treatment Answer questions and develop solutions: How should be GDP-Proportion adapted options on and waste how disposal the performance of such option on environmental protection considering of Germanycomplex < 1 % in systems? 2006 CambodiaWhere are available resources ~ 10 % in are 2008 used most effectively? Malysia ~ 3 % in 2011 Technology- but also transfer of knowledge is essential! 0% 5% 10% GDP-Proportion 15% 20% [%] 25% GDP-Proportion spend for waste disoposal in Germany Necessary GDP-Proportion to finance a similar waste management What is GmbH? Founded 1999, registered office in Weimar in Thuringia Since 2001 status as institute at Nationally and internationally active engineering company Intention: development and offer of optimal solutions from ecological and sozio-economical perspective to improve the infrastructure in field of waste, waste water, energy for the individual local situations Currently cooperation with partners from i.a. Rumania, Georgia, China, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Thailand, South-Africa, Brasil Service provider and consultant for companies, research institutions, local authorities and government departments (e.g. BMBF, ) as well as project holders and educational institutions (e.g. FNR, )

4 Where are our competencies and business areas? (A) Conception and realisation of subject-specific technology projects Waste management (e.g. biological treatment, waste-to-energy, landfill concepts and disposal scenarios) Sanitary and waste water concepts (e.g. low-tech solutions, separation systems) Environmental management systems, renewable energies and energy management Issuing of studies and expert opinions Country-specific information on the topic of municipal solid waste Issues of the recycling of specific fractions of waste e.g. biowaste, bio-plastics, medical waste Where are our competencies and business areas? (B) Conception and realisation of further education actions University further education in cooperation with Distance learning Master's degree programme "Environmental Engineering and Management - EEM, taught in English Certificate courses in the field of waste management, on request Subject-specific further education courses, trainings and workshops, on request (e.g. on waste management, infrastructure and master plan development) Subject-specific events and field trips to, among others, sites of technical infrastructure at home and abroad (e.g. biogas and composting plants, landfills, waste water treatment)

5 How is the methodical implementation? Initiative to develop common strategies and solutions in the field of environmental technology Focus: technology, knowledge transfer and information exchange Target region GmbH Available knowledge and experiences in the field of environmental technology Common development of adapted strategies and solutions Local partner Knowledge and experiences of local situation and frame conditions and references Technology projects Development of recycling centres Feasibility study for a new civic amenity site in Erfurt on behalf of SWE Stadtwirtschaft GmbH Analyses of different ways of delivering the recyclable wastes, traffic routing on site and outside the facilities Development of a recycling centre in South of Cambodia, together with the local disposal company

6 and references Technology projects Sanitary and wastewater concepts: Fofeldea/Rumania Present waste water drainage via open ditches Pilot plant in 2 villages, separate dry toilets (free of odours, chemicals, water and wastewater) TTC-separate collection of urine and faces Treating the greywater in constructed wetlands improvement of water quality constructed wetland for grey water and references Technology projects Development of an environmental management plans, e.g. Thai city Lamphun Model of an integrated environmental management plan Status quo analyses development of the environmental management plan Considering Material flows of waste, fresh and waste water Energy supply, transport and traffic Financial and legal frame conditions Public relation

7 and references Technology projects Implementation of a composting plants, e.g. Phnom Penh Planning and realisation of a simple heap composting in Phnom Penh Treatment of organic market waste (respective single-origin amount) Pre-discussions with authorities Training of operator Economy analyses Sale and use of produced compost i.a. local institutions and agriculture and references Knowledge transfer Training for government employees and scientists, e.g. from Bangladesh Trainings of several days duration incl. an expert field trip for Bangladeshi agricultural scientists and employees of the ministry of agriculture Focusing on the recycling of organic wastes from urban areas

8 and references Knowledge transfer Example: specialised further training course incl. excursion Duration one up to several weeks, depending on intention and Umfang Training course with/without excursion common Abstimmung Day Date Opening Break Arrival Waste management Excursion to facilities of technical infrastructure Composting AD Waste water; I Waste water; II Energy technique; Waste-to- Energie Weekend or additional topics Departure ab 18 and references Knowledge transfer Development of environmental regulations with/for the Cambodian MoE EU-funded project Capacity Building and Policy Reinforcement in Cambodia in the field of Waste Management Development of solid waste regulations for the Cambodian Ministry of Environment (MoE) Further training of employees of, i.a., the ministry of environment, local environment agencies and waste disposal companies Hazardous- /Medical waste and Sustainable financing Thuringian Ministry of Environment assumed an advisory role

9 and references Further education Practical environmental education e.g. Collage in Thonburi/Bangkok Realisation of an integrated waste management concept incl. environmental education concept into existing classes at a collage with about 5,000 people Separated collection system of wastes Treatment of organic waste in a composting plant in the school s service area and the use of compost in the school s garden and references Further education Training urban planning/master plan for Iraqi Kurdistan Training course on the topic of Urban planning for municipality employees Urban and regional development, traffic planning, water and wastewater management, waste management Expert field trips complemented the training Course Management of urban infrastructure, Maghreb Introduction to the management of urban infrastructure in Germany for experts from municipal administrations (4-month course) Development of approaches for the implementation of an environmental management system in their respective hometowns
