Historical overviewHistorical overview

INR has made a considerable effort to obtain reliable data on waste production and management.

There is a series of legal requirements for data transmission on products placed on the market and waste generated, arising from the concept of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

3 phases

1. data on products and generated waste was transmitted to INR in the shape of paper based registry maps

2. The need to promote a more efficient data transmission process and an easier and leaner data processing and management, lead to the creation of the Waste Data Management System (SGIR)

3. The SGIR has been developed towards a stage where data transmission is done exclusively in digital form and the process will be fully automatic

MotivationMotivation have an efficient and effective tool that would enable the Institute

to cope with the large amount of information on products and waste.

ImportanceImportance it enables the online addition and permanent update of data

concerning the production and management of waste InterfacesInterfaces

the goal of being the interface between the waste producers, the waste management operators and INR, for data transmission issues

System is to become the official point of contact for data relaying. System is to become the official point of contact for data relaying.

GoalsGoals

Implement to the full extent the automatic data Implement to the full extent the automatic data transmission modetransmission mode,, through the informatics linkage of the integrated waste

management entities information systems and the SGIR itself.

Promote the reporting capabilitiesPromote the reporting capabilities,, by enabling the statistical processing of the information and to

report this in an organized and standardized form

Enable the access to the information on different levelsEnable the access to the information on different levels,, according to the types of internal and external agents involved

with the SGIR thus promoting an easy and quick point of access to waste data.

ConclusionsConclusions

The central goals in the development of the SGIR have, The central goals in the development of the SGIR have, thus, been:thus, been: to optimize the resources involved, internally and externally, in

data reporting and processing and in the performance of the overall system;

to create mechanisms that ensure the quality of the data introduced by the external operators;

to promote the capability of Portugal to respond to product and waste information reporting requirements at the European Union and international level (e.g. OECD, UNEP/Basel Convention);

last but not least, to dispose of a fundamental instrument for planning requirements.
