Development of source separationof biowaste in the EU
Obligations for biowaste management NL: compulsory schemes for separate collection AUT: obligation upon households to either take part in separate collection
or to compost in the backyard GER: KrW-AbfG separate collection widely diffused Catalunya (Spain): ley 6/95 compulsory for all Municipalities with a pop.
> 5000 (recently extended to cover all Municipalities) SK (Act 24/04): Garden Waste to be separately colelcted by 2006;
biowaste by 2010 Targets
SWE: 35% composting target ITA, UK: recycling targets acting as drivers

In separate collection, what does “OPTIMISED” mean?
High captures Good quality (low % of impurities) Avoid increase of waste arisings Allow for cost optimisation Contribute to fulfilling diversion targets of
the Landfill Directive
![Page 7: Implementing and optimising separate collection: operational and economic issues](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681459f550346895db29417/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

The paradigm - keep control on collection, make participation highest
![Page 9: Implementing and optimising separate collection: operational and economic issues](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681459f550346895db29417/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Against the paradigm - lose control on collection, make participation lowest
![Page 10: Implementing and optimising separate collection: operational and economic issues](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681459f550346895db29417/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Biobins (carts) for food waste – some issues
The use of biobins may imply high deliveries of garden waste
Bins require mechanical loading
Low density implies adoption of expensive packer trucks – or high costs for transport
Reduced frequency of collection is therefore considered to save money
This impairs captures of food waste – fairly high percentages in residual waste

Biowaste – Paradigm for optimisation
Buckets 6.5 - 30 litres hand-picked – saves time collection time per pick-up point: 20” - 60” at high-rises, carts adopted to serve 15-20 households
with one single pick
Biodegradable bags Help keep containers clean The bags + a relatively frequent collection make it an
“user-friendly” system Highest captures, lowest percentages of organics in
residual waste Residual waste may be collected at a much lower
frequency – saves money !

Collection of garden waste
at Civic Amenity Sites (Municipal Recycling Centres)
at the doorstep less frequent than food waste
lower cost, higher participation in home composting programmes
![Page 16: Implementing and optimising separate collection: operational and economic issues](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681459f550346895db29417/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Packaging waste – paradigm for optimisation
There’s no “one stop shop” solution – different trucks for different materials
Tackle different waste materials according to their specific density/compactability
Multi-material being dismissed Paper collected on itself (high captures, best
quality) Glass collected on itself (best quality; also,
simple/cheapest collection, it breaks hence packer trucks not needed, open lorries much cheaper)
Plastics + cans increasingly tackled through “combined” collection (lightweight and compactable materials, they need packer trucks)

Costs of MSW management – some general remarks
Increased cost of disposal Landfill Directive Incineration Directive + IPPC
Anyway cost of collection may by itself be comparatively low – similar to commingled MSW collection Savings on disposal

TOOLS AND STRATEGIES TO CUT COSTS
Tool Details Applies where…..
Reducing pick-up time
Hand pick-up of small receptacles much faster than mechanical loading
… food waste collected separately from garden waste, in small receptacles
Reduction of the frequency for collection of “Residuals”
Effective systems to collect biowaste make its percentage in Residuals less than 15 %
…captures of biowaste are increased
Use of bulk lorries instead of packer trucks
Bulk density of food waste is much higher (0.7kg/ dm3) than garden waste
…tools for collection of food waste prevent deliveries of garden waste
