2 Welcome to the seminar Metta Wise, Nordic Council of Ministers Coordinator for Nordic Waste Group Sanna Due, Swedish Environmental Protection Agency 2 15 June 2011 Seminar on prevention of waste in the construction and building sector
3 3 15 June 2011 Seminar on prevention of waste in the construction and building sector
4 Presentation of the report "Assessment of the initiatives to prevent waste from the construction and building sector" Janus Kirkeby, COWI 4 15 June 2011 Seminar on prevention of waste in the construction and building sector
5 Assessment of initiatives to prevent waste from building and construction sectors COWI AB, COWI AS, Copenhagen Resource Institute and Norsas Ioannis Bakas, Eivind Bøe, Janus Kirkeby, Birgitte Jørgensen Kjær, Anna-Karin Ohls, Johan Sidenmark and Martin Uhre Mandrup 5 15 jun 2011 Assessment of initiatives to prevent waste from building sectors
6 Background Prevention of waste has the highest priority under the EU s framework directive on waste The construction and demolition sector is often the largest single sector waste producer with a generation of 30 % to 50 % of the total waste produced. Many successful initiatives on increased recycling; hence recycling rates up 90-95% not many initiatives to prevent waste from the C&D sector while there has been some focus on hazardous substances in buildings jun 2011 Waste seminar
7 Aim of study The present study has the aim of identifying and prioritising initiatives that lead to waste prevention in the construction and demolition (C&D) sector. The aim of the project is to: Produce a catalogue with best practices and background information Analyse existing prevention initiatives Dessiminate new ideas and concepts throughout the sector Inspire and engage all actors within the sector 7 15 jun 2011 Assessment of initiatives to prevent waste from building sectors
8 Definition of waste prevention The waste framework directive (2008/98/EC) defines waste prevention as: Prevention means measures taken before a substance, material or product has become waste that reduces: a) the quantity of waste, including through the re-use of products or the extension of the life span of products b) the adverse impacts of the generated waste on the environment and human health; or c) the content of harmful substances in materials and products 8 15 jun 2011 Assessment of initiatives to prevent waste from building sectors
9 Definition of waste prevention 9 Figure 1. Illustration of definition of waste prevention. Adapted from BIO Intelligence Service, jun 2011 Assessment of initiatives to prevent waste from building sectors
10 Generation of total C&D waste (excluding soil) in the Nordic countries in 2008 Total generation in 1000 tonnes 2008 Per capita generation in kg 2008 Denmark 4, Finland 24,979 4,713 Iceland Sweden 3, Norway 1, Different reporting obligations different waste defintions jun 2011 Assessment of initiatives to prevent waste from building sectors
11 Initiatives investigated Seven prioritised initiatives were assessed Each description of the initiative is supplemented by a case study. 32 Initiatives were identified and grouped into: 1. Reuse of building materials 2. Information campaigns 3. Waste prevention guidelines 4. Voluntary agreements 5. Identification of hazardous substances 6. Tool for registration of non-hazardous building materials 7. Certification schemes jun 2011 Waste seminar
12 1. Reuse of building materials 5 European examples direct reuse / "second life" easy to implement Domain Contribution Legend Waste amounts ++ Waste impacts 0 Hazardous waste amounts 0 Costs for implementation ++ Costs for construction sector + Bureaucracy + ++ very positive + positive 0 neutral - negative -- very negative Employment ++ Transferability to other geographical areas jun 2011 Waste seminar
13 2. Information campaigns Low cost, many targets effect difficult to evaluate a need for more targeted and specific information (often to general) Domain Contribution Legend Waste amounts + Waste impacts 0 Hazardous waste amounts 0 Costs for authorities 0 Costs for construction sector ++ Bureaucracy very positive + positive 0 neutral - negative -- very negative Employment 0 Transferability to other geographical areas jun 2011 Waste seminar
14 3. Waste prevention guidelines provide realistic and practical, usually stepwise steps to minimise waste focus mainly on the design and construction phase of buildings rather than maintenance and disposal Domain Contribution Legend Waste amounts + Waste impacts 0 Hazardous waste amounts + Costs for implementation 0 Costs for construction sector ++ Bureaucracy 0 ++ very positive + positive 0 neutral - negative -- very negative Employment 0 Transferability to other geographical areas jun 2011 Waste seminar
15 4. Voluntary agreements often between public and private with specific targets (benchmarking for waste) success depends on participating stakeholders Domain Contribution Legend Waste amounts + Waste impacts ++ Hazardous waste amounts + Costs for implementation - Costs for construction sector -/+ Bureaucracy - ++ very positive + positive 0 neutral - negative -- very negative Employment 0 Transferability to other geographical areas jun 2011 Waste seminar
16 5. Identification of hazardous substances identification of hazardous substances in buildings that are to be demolished => for correct disposal huge potential for the reduction of hazardous waste Domain Contribution Legend Waste amounts 0 Waste impacts + Hazardous waste amounts + Costs for authorities - Costs for construction sector - Bureaucracy/Administration - ++ very positive + positive 0 neutral - negative -- very negative Employment + Transferability to other geographical areas jun 2011 Waste seminar
17 6. Tools for registration of nonhazardous building materials tools for the registration of materials without hazardous substances is to promote sustainable products in the building and construction sector ecolabelling aim of ensuring a safe environmental and indoor climate Domain Contribution Legend Waste amounts 0 Waste impacts + Hazardous waste amounts ++ Costs for authorities 0 Costs for construction sector 0 Bureaucracy/Administration - ++ very positive + positive 0 neutral - negative -- very negative Employment 0 Transferability to other geographical areas jun 2011 Waste seminar
18 7. Certification schemes standardising the high quality of a building s construction during its construction, use and disposal often focus on material use/efficiency and environmentally friendly disposal of building components (rather than prevention) Becoming more used why this could have high importance Domain Contribution Legend Waste amounts + Waste impacts + Hazardous waste amounts + Costs for authorities -- Costs for construction sector + Bureaucracy 0 ++ very positive + positive 0 neutral - negative -- very negative jun 2011 Waste seminar Employment + Transferability to other geographical areas ++
19 Other ideas for waste prevention initiatives Education of designers and structural engineers Training in waste prevention guidelines Construction materials database Enforcement of waste regulation GPP including prevention requirements Prevention and smart design elements in public tenders Construction materials standards upgrade Promotion of renovation and restoration Market-based instruments Cradle to cradle jun 2011 Waste seminar
20 Targets for waste prevention Most initiatives have not been evaluated and measured. The three most commonly used indicators on construction and demolition waste in the EU are: Construction and demolition waste landfilled, Recycling of construction and demolition waste and Total generation of construction and demolition waste jun 2011 Waste seminar
21 Setting targets The study proposed, based on the data availability and consideration about the best available and best wanted indicators, to include three core elements. Domestic extraction and import/export of construction materials (DE), Construction and demolition waste generated and (CDWG) Physical activity in the construction sector (PA) jun 2011 Waste seminar
22 Setting targets Gross domestic product (GDP) Output of the construction sector (OUT) Area of new construction (PA) Proposed combinations Domestic extraction 19 (DE) C&D waste generated (CDWG) C&D waste landfilled (CDWL) DE/GDP CDWG/GDP CDWL/GDP DE/OUT CDWG/OUT CDWL/OUT DE/PA CDWG/PA CDWL/PA (DE+CDWG)/GDP (DE+CDWG)/PA (DE+CDWL)/GDP (DE+CDWL)/PA Source: Bio Intelligence jun 2011 Waste seminar
23 Challenges in setting targets Availability of suitable data on waste generation from the building and construction sector. Data from the countries varies from 68 kg to 4700 kg per citizen The effects of the different initiatives are very uncertain and rarely quantified in respect to waste generation waste generation from the sector is produced many years after construction and consumption of materials jun 2011 Waste seminar
