6 2 - Integrated Waste Management System IWMS and hierachy Definition: Integrated Waste Management (IWM) systems combine waste streams, waste collection, treatment and disposal methods, with the objective of achieving environmental benefits, economic optimisation and societal acceptability. This will lead to a practical waste management system for any specific region. Different steps in the waste management hierarchy. 16 settembre 2018 Circular Economy Close the loop locally 6

12 Biogas upgrading - Biomethane H 2 S removal to prevent corrosion and and avoid toxic H 2 S concentration Biomethane is chemically identical to natural gas which is stored deep in the ground and is also produced from dead animal and plant material. Therefore it can be used for the water removal to avoid accumulation of condensate in the gas line Upgrading biogas system CO 2 removal to concentrate the energy content of biogas same applications as natural gas. It can be used for electricity generation, water heating, space heating, cooking as well as to fuel Ammonia removal they are contaminants vehicles. Natural gas is classified as fossil fuel, whereas biomethane is defined as a green source of energy. 16 settembre 2018 Circular Economy Close the loop locally 12

13 TOPSOIL ORGANIC CARBON CONTENT Organic Carbon (%) < >35 Lakes Country Organic carbon content (OCTOP) in the topsoil layer (0-30 cm), calculated for 1 km x 1 km grid. OCTOP was calculated from the European Soil Database by combining refined pedo-transfer rules with spatial thematic data layers of land cover and temperature, as 1 km raster layers Based on the work of: Jones, R.J.A., Hiederer, R., Rusco, E., Loveland, P.J. and Montanarella, L. (2003). Topsoil organic carbon in Europe.

18 6 - (Circular Economy in Disaster Management) Emergency following the 2016 earthquake in the Umbria region (Italy): from problem to opportunity of development Objectives The Policy Directive set the following criteria and objectives for recovery: 1) Containment and qualification of demolitions 2) Promotion of the recovery and re-use of inert materials contained in rubble 3) Sorting and recovery of valuable building materials present in the rubble 16 settembre 2018 Circular Economy Close the loop locally 18

19 Circular Economy in Disaster Management The production process of selection, treatment, and recover It is important to divide the material in three flux of matter: reusable stone, light fragment (paper, plastic, wood, soil..) metallic e non metallic fragment The steps common to the protocol of the various treatment are as follows: - Crushing (it can be primary or secondary) - Classification - Screening - Storage - Quality control (in conformity with CE) 16 settembre 2018 Circular titolo presentazione Economy Close the loop locally 19

20 ENCYCLICAL LETTER LAUDATO SI OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME We have not yet managed to adopt a circular model of production capable of preserving resources for present and future generations, while limiting as much as possible the use of non-renewable resources, moderating their consumption, maximizing their efficient use, reusing and recycling them. We are not God. The earth was here before us and it has been given to us Tilling refers to cultivating, ploughing or working, while keeping means caring, protecting, overseeing and preserving. That s it I try to explaine and show what we are doing and we are looking forward to having you in Umbria 16 settembre 2018 Circular Economy Close the loop locally 20
