A. Responsibility for waste management
Belgium= Federal state with 3 regions: 3 regional + 1 federal
authority
Waste management = regional competence
OVAM is the regional authority responsible for making policy
on waste in Flanders
Municipalities are responsible for the execution of the collection
and treatment of household waste

C. Waste management according to the waste
hierarchy
I. Prevention and re-use: Flemish initiatives
Re-use shops 100 shops
7.19 kg/inhabitant collected in 2007
furniture, EEE, toys, clothes, etc.
susidies for re-use shops
7
I. Prevention and re-use: Flemish initiatives
Home composting 25% of the Flemish households (mainly in rural areas)
5 compost masters per 10,000 inhabitants
communication campaigns, training and household waste charging
are crucial
Neighbourhood composting in urban
areas
8
I. Prevention and re-use: Flemish initiatives
‘Please no publicity’ stickers
Communication campaigns on waste prevention
Financial support for local authorities which launch waste
prevention initiatives
Cooperation agreements containing prevention measures
between local authorities and the OVAM
9
I. Prevention and re-use: Flemish initiatives
Promotion of ecodesign ecodesign awards for students and professionals
ecolizer
Eco-efficiency scan
Green procurement: - office supplies
- cleaning products
- electric/electronical equipment
- varnish and lacks
10
I. Prevention and re-use: future objectives
Increase sustainable production and consumption in
absolute and relative terms
more innovation
retail sector offers and sells more sustainable products by
2015
more sustainable products consumed by 2015
central role of the government in sustainable consumption
via green public procurement
11
I. Prevention and re-use: future objectives
Far-reaching decoupling between economic growth
and waste production by 2010
i.e. stabilisation of waste generation compared to
2000 at 560 kg/inhabitant 2% prevention (dry fraction) per year
25% of households engage in high-quality home composting
10 kg/inhabitant is collected for re-use
increase in the number of companies participating in selective
collection
12
II. Selective collection and recycling
Selective collection schemes to allow for separation
at the source a) kerbside collection
b) municipal recycling yards
c) collection via retailers
Polluter pays principle household waste charging based on volume or weight
recycling fees
extended producer responsibility
Differentiated tarification = mixed household waste is more expensive to discard than
selectively collected waste
13
II. Selective collection and recycling
a) kerbside collection
Kerbside collection mixed waste (charged)
plastic bottles, metal packaging and drinking cartons (€ 0.125 per
60 l bag)
paper and cardboard (free)
glass bottles (free)
vegetable, fruit and garden waste (charged)
bulky waste (free or charged)
Others bottle banks (free)
textile containers (free)
14
II. Selective collection and recycling: charges for
mixed waste collection
Bag (60 l): between € 0.75 and € 2.5
Container (120 l) taxation per volume: € 2.5 - € 3.76
taxation per weight: € 0.15 - € 0.2/kg
taxation per offer: € 0.25 - € 1
solutions for urban areas collective containers
subterranean containers

II. Selective collection and recycling: illegal and
evasive behaviour
5 to 10 % of the population is responsible for illegal behaviour
75 % of the illegally disposed waste consists of waste without
municipal taxation => no link between ‘expensive’ waste bag or
container and illegal behaviour
Municipalities need to punish illegal behaviour
‘Waste tourism’ can be avoided by
using the same tariffs in neighbouring
municipalities
17
II. Selective collection and recycling
b) recycling yards
337 container parcs (308 municipalities) which collect
50% of the household waste
A wide range of waste streams are separately
collected in those parks: construction and demolition waste,
cooking oils, batteries and accumulators, polystyrene, WEEE, paper
and cardboard, PE foils, metals, textiles, fluorescent tubes, light bulbs,
wood, green waste, car tyres, bicycle tyres, asbestos, gypsum,
bitumen, hazardous waste and non-recyclable combustible wastes
18
II. Selective collection and recycling
c) collection at retailers
WEEE
batteries and accumulators
ink-cartridges
pharmaceuticals
car tyres
19
II. Selective collection and recycling
extended producer responsibility
Producers are financially responsible for the
collection and treatment of their products once they
have become waste (‘acceptance obligation’)
Printed paper, batteries and accumulators, waste
pharmaceuticals, end-of-life vehicles, waste tyres,
waste electrical and electronic appliances, lighting
equipment, waste industrial and cooking oils

21
II. Selective collection and recycling
future objectives
Limit residual household waste to 150
kg/inhabitant/year
Each individual municipality has less than 180 kg
residual waste per year per inhabitant
BUT:A correction factor may be applied in the case of big cities (flats,
tourism,…)
By 2010 75% of the household waste is collected
selectively for the purpose of re-use and recycling
22
Example of waste collection in big cities
Antwerp: + 470.000 inhabitants lots of nationalities, lots of poverty:districts with 30% migration/year
toerism, students
How to manage the waste stream?
Since 1998 selective collection of waste several systems and 9 container parks
Priority:push back illegal duming and street litter
refusing to collect waste that is offered in the
wrong bag
Results: 61,5% of the waste was recycled in 2007
(~72% in global for Flanders).
23
Experiments with kerbside collection in Antwerp
1. containers/bags on the street
2. containers in special areas (closed for strangers)
3. subterranean containers

Evaluation
aesthetic
in the middel of a square: social control
place saving: the square can still maintain his
function
costsaving: placing of the container is expensive: 10.000 euro BUT
very cheap in the use: in 1 move the truck can pick up the weight of
120 sacks of waste
44
III. Residual waste treatment: incinerating
It is prohibited to incinerate:
selectively collected wastes that can be recycled with the exception of some high calorific wastes for renewable energy purposes
unsorted household waste
unsorted industrial waste
Motivated derogation possible
45
III. Residual waste treatment: landfilling
It is prohibited to landfill:
unsorted household and industrial waste
wastes that were selectively collected for the purpose of recovery
combustible residues from the sorting of household waste or
comparable industrial waste
waste pharmaceuticals
Motivated derogation possible
46
III. Residual waste treatment
steering of landfill and incineration costs
‘Smart’ taxes
make landfilling more expensive than incineration
make (co)incineration more expensive than recycling
steer the market towards the treatment option with the lowest
environmental impact
Restrictive permitting policy for landfills increases
landfilling costs

D. Conclusions for us
Maybe Flanders is now a ‘champion’ in selective
collection but we must stay alert!
Prevention of waste is the main challenge for the
coming years
49
D. Conclusions for you
Lessons from the Flemish experience:
Work on all levels of the waste hierarchy
Source separation of crucial importance sensibilisation campaigns
selective collection schemes
polluter pays principle
Limit residual waste treatment capacity to the
minimum
Make landfilling expensive and ban it for as many
wastes as possible
