3 NATURE (Vol. 437) of 8 September 2005 CARBON CONTENT OF SOIL in England and Wales fell steadily in the period , with some 13 million tonnes of carbon released from British soil each year. On average, British soils have lost 15% of their carbon. 3

4 Aerobic composting [CO 2 ] 50-65% C 100% C compost 35-50% C Anaerobic digestion biogas CH 4 /CO % C 100% C digestion residue 15-25% C 5

7 The Hierarchy of Decentral Biowaste Management = the Logical FOLLOW-UP of the 5 STEP WASTE HIERARCHY Priority I As much home composting as possible (= PREVENTION) Priority II Separate collection = complimentary Priority III Favouring decentralised flexible Solutions 9

9 The Project Logics The logic of the project STAGES representing key elements of the envisaged Bulgarian Biowaste Strategy and its implementation Legislation Accompanying technical standards and guidelines Adapted policy instruments and reporting schemes Training & Guidance 11

10 April October

11 Stage I Model & Action Plan for a Sustainable Biowaste Strategy Scenarios and options how establish a mandatory scheme for separate collection of organic waste Full obligation for each municipality vs. regional recycling targets? Which sources of organic waste? Garden & park waste from public parks; Kitchen & garden waste from private households Catering waste & former foodstuff; Food industry residues Quality certified sewage sludge Collection schemes: door to door and/or bring systems (recycling centres) Economic assessment: involved costs (capital and operating costs) Waste fee systems for the producers Available funds for infrastructure investments [containers, vehicles, bins, buckets ] Quantitative assessment Potential captures Reduction in residual waste collection and treatment (disposal) 13

12 Stage I Model & Action Plan for a Sustainable Biowaste Strategy Treatment capacity planning Evaluation of existing indicative plans for the distribution and size of composting plants of the Operational Programme Scales of composting (from 1 m³ home composting to 30,000 t/a) Prioritising options of decentralised composting schemes Economic Assessment Necessary range of investment and [co-] financing options Operational costs ( gate fee ) Savings & revenues Responsibilities of authorities MoEW, regional inspectorates, municipalities Regional planning, decision making process, public procurement, licensing, permits, control Controlling & QAS & product certification, laboratories Awareness raising + Public Relation 14

13 Stage II Ordinances & Technical Standards Draft ORDINANCE on SEPARATE COLLECTION Dec/2012 Binding driver following Art. 22 of the Waste Framework Directive Draft COMPOST ORDINANCE Dec/2012 End of Waste Ordinance for high quality compost from source separated organic waste streams (e.g. input materials, quality criteria, product declaration) Quality STANDARD for DIGESTATE first half 2013 Quality criteria and minimum requirements for declaration & safe application Quality STANDARD for STABILISED MBT MATERIAL & LOW QUALITY COMPOST first half 2013 Quality criteria and minimum requirements for declaration & safe application 15

14 Stage III Technical Requirements For Bio-waste Treatment Installations Oct/2012 July/2013 State of the Art of COMPOSTING Manual for engineering Basis for waste license/permits Best practice / range of technologies Minimum criteria for construction, operation and documentation Environment & health protection Basic description of ANAEROBIC DIGESTION technologies and features 16

15 Stage V Manual For Municipalities Feb/13 to Dec/13 for All levels of authorities and their experts; planers; operators; farmers; laboratories Implementation guide & reference book on optimised and flexible solutions in separate collection and biological treatment of organic waste STYLE HANDBOOK 17

16 Stage VI Quality Assurance Scheme for Compost [QAS] Jan/2013 to Sep/2013 Development of a QA SYSTEM for COMPOST: Work flow; how does work? What is included? What are the operational measures? Development of a model for a NATIONAL QUALITY ASSURANCE ORGANISATION (NQAO): How is it structured? What are the responsibilities of its bodies? Who is involved? 18

17 Stage VII Checklist for Control of Installations for Bio-waste Treatment May/2013 to Sept/2013 For Bulgarian Regional Inspectorates Inspection forms Routine guidance for on-site inspections and reporting Reference Documents: Compost Ordinance & State of the Art Waste permits Mass balance / Material flow Traceability Quality Management: Documentation and record keeping Environmental protection / waste water/ odour control Product presentation & labeling & certification 19

18 Stage VIII Electronic Information System Oct/2013 to Feb/2014 Concept for the adaptation of the existing REGISTRY for bio-waste treatment facilities Documentation and REPORTING of processed Waste Types [ MASS BALANCE: INPUT // OUTPUT] Exchange of Data with involved parties: Competent Authorities; Environmental Executive Agency; Laboratory [Compliance Test Report]; Quality Assurance Organisation [Product Certification] 20

19 Stage IX Methodology of Data Evaluation & Reporting TASK (1): LANDFILL TARGETS July/2012 to Nov/2012 Evaluation and proposal for calculation methods for the achievement of diversion targets for biodegradable waste; Assessment of existing Bulgarian legislation waste statistics. TASK (2): Proposals for updating the NATIONAL PLAN ON WASTE MANAGEMENT July/2013 to Nov/2013 requirements of Article 33 of the WFD 2008/98/EC BIOWASTE MANAGEMENT AND PREVENTION PROGRAMMES 21

20 Stage X Documents for Laboratory Accreditation Sep/2013 to Jan/2014 to carry out the external quality approval of compost products; Investigate & Exchange with Accredited LABS (Soil, Sludge, Waste) Accreditation bodies ISO/IEC 17025:2005. Interlab Tests Compost related requirements: sample taking analytical methods test and compliance report 22

21 Stage XII Workshops & Study Tours Study Tours to Austria (1) Biowaste and residual waste management 28 May 1 June Representatives of MoEW and invited experts. (2) Practical implementation days: biowaste and residual waste management Nov/2013 to Feb/ to 25 Representatives of BG waste management: operators, consultants, authorities, laboratories, universities etc. Workshops 1 INTRODUCTION Workshop Sofia 17 / 18 May TRAINING Workshops BIOWASTE Jan / Feb Workshop RESIDUAL WASTE STRATEGY & TREATMENT Jan / Feb
