9 Enabler in the circular economy 9

10 The circular economy: Some examples 10 Plastics-2- Chemicals IndaChlor D kirk, FR Ecluse Doel, BE R&D Planning Construction

11 The Circular Economy in Practice: Next Step Plastics Recycling M tons of post consumer plastics produced in EU, 2014 With relative low share of recycling, 50% is export We do need more solutions Mechanical recycling Molecular Recycling 30% 39% 31% Recycling Waste-to-Energy Landfill Plastics-2-Chemicals Plastics-2-Chemicals: recover more plastics through molecular recycling

12 Ecluse: Steam network Doel 12 Sustainable heating from incineration installations of Indaver/Sleco (Doel plant) 5 chemical companies in Antwerp Port + Indaver Air quality improvement & reduction of ton CO2 per annum Sustainable Waste-to-Energy for neighbouring companies

13 Waste management in Flanders Prior to 1980 s 13

14 Waste management in Flanders Inventory of all old dumpsites in Flanders known sites (for 308 municipalities) Most of them were closed in the 1980 ies Local authorities had to find other treatment solution for household waste Incentive: regional environmental taxes on landfilling Municipalities too small to invest in compliant landfills or incinerators THUS: INTERMUNICIPAL COOPERATION

15 Waste management in Flanders Intermunicipal cooperation Municipalities, 26 intermunicipal cooperations On average: inhabitants Separate corporations, owned and controlled by municipalities Board: political representatives from the municipalities Still represent the municipalities (no new level of governance)

16 Waste management in Flanders Phases of Evolution 16 1 Rule & Control Phase Protection from pollution Sanitary landfills, emission standards for treatment installations, etc. 3 The Recycling Society The waste hierarchy (reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, dispose) becomes mandatory Flanders from 1985 till 2000, some countries still in this phase Flanders from 2005 till 2014, Europe s aim for 2020 Quantitative KPI s Managing Phase Organise & optimize treatment Create awareness (prevention, recycling, producer responsibility, etc.) 4 Flanders from 2000 till 2005 The Circular Economy Resource efficiency (use less) Sustainable recovery (use recovered) Driven by the Principles of Economics Flanders from 2014 onwards >>> Qualitative and financial KPI s

17 Waste management in Flanders Current waste management competences 17 Flemish government (Flemish parliament) Sets general policy objectives and framework Decides about environmental criteria like emission limit values States minimal service standard and waste to be collected separately Approves the Flemish Waste Management Plans Utilizing reality& local experiences Municipalities (city councils) Responsible for organization of collection and treatment Decide how, when& by whom waste is collected within framework Fix waste-taxes to be paid by citizens This responsibility has been a tradition since almost 200 years

18 Waste management in Flanders 30 years of experience 18 Well planned policy, strong vision, step by step approach Main drivers: oneed to protect natural resources (soil, water and air) o Avoid high clean up costs (contaminated sites) Priority towards circular economy approach

19 Waste management in Flanders Results Very successful separate collection: Results at the top Doorstep collection of lots of recyclables Bring system (> 340 civic amenity sites) Very high recycling rate : first year in which waste production growth stopped Since 2006: no more landfilling of household waste

22 Lessons to be learned 22 Political support and organizational framework provides solid basis for evolution Close tuning between waste authorities and private sector creates optimal setting to progress swiftly Local factors (geographic, waste composition) should be considered explicitly

23 Leading the field in sustainable waste management 23 We seek to close material loops in a low-carbon and energy-efficient way. This is the only way to sustain prosperity and well-being in this world. Paul De Bruycker CEO Indaver
