Data about the GP should be included under 3.1) Year of the following waste data 2012 Sum of all waste streams excl. residual & bulky waste (kg/inhabitant/year) (Use indicator 1 or 2 from the R4R Online Tool) Residual waste (including sorting residues) (kg/inhabitant/year) (Use indicator 8 or 9 from the R4R Online Tool) Total waste (add up the previous two) Sum of all waste streams excl. residual & bulky waste to DREC (kg/inhabitant/year) (Use indicator 3 of the R4R Online Tool) Context Article 5 of the EU Directive 1999/31/EC (Landfill Directive) required each Member State to prepare a national strategy for the implementation of the reduction of biodegradable waste going to landfill. In April 2006 the Irish National Strategy on Biodegradable Waste was published and this set out measures aimed at progressively diverting biodegradable municipal waste from landfill in accordance with the Landfill Directive. The measures included prevention, minimisation and the separate collection, recovery and recycling of biodegradable waste. As a result of the publication of the above Strategy the Replacement Waste Management Plan for the Limerick/Clare/Kerry Region included an objective to meet the targets outlined in the Strategy. In 2009 the Waste Management (Food Waste) Regulations 2009 (S.I. No. 508/2009) were published and came into force in Ireland on 1st July The Regulations require that commercial producers of food waste source segregate food waste. The implementation of the Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC) into Irish law in January 2011, EC (Waste Directive) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 126/2011), required the Minister to take measures to encourage separate collection and treatment of bio-waste. In April 2013 the EU (Household Food Waste and Bio-waste ) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 71/2013) were published and are designed to promote the segregation and recovery of household GOOD PRACTICES 4

5 food waste. The Regulations set target dates for the separate collection of household food waste based on agglomeration sizes. 1.3 Short description In order to achieve the objectives of the Irish National Strategy on Biodegradable Waste, the Regional Waste Plan and to meet the requirements of the Regulations detailed above minimum targets in relation to the collection of source segregated commercial and household food waste were specified. Since 2009 minimum targets, in relation to the collection of source segregated commercial and household food waste, were specified for waste collectors operating within the Limerick/Clare/Kerry Region through a condition of their Waste Collection Permit. This resulted in the roll-out of the kerbside collection of organic waste ( brown bin ) and subsequent significant increase year-on-year in the quantity of source segregated organic waste collected. In July 2010 the Waste Management (Food Waste) Regulations 2009 (S.I. No. 508/2009) came into force in Ireland and required commercial producers of food waste to source segregate their food waste. Since July 2013 the EU (Household Food Waste and Bio-waste) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 71/2013) waste collectors are required to provide a separate collection service for household food waste on a progressive basis based on population centres. Refer to Section 2.2 for further details. 1.4 Objective The primary aim is the achievement of the targets set out in Article 5 of the Landfill Directive (Directive 99/31/EC) regarding the diversion of biodegradable municipal waste from landfill sites by directing source-segregated food waste to composting and to other forms of authorised treatment. The Strategy and Regulations published following the Landfill Directive detail the measures required to be implemented to achieve the specified targets i.e. roll-out of the kerbside collection of organic waste ( brown bin ) and the use of waste as a resource. 1.5 Method used to identify the good practice Benchmark A review of the waste collection data in relation to the collection of source segregated food waste at the kerbside showed a significant increase in the quantity of biodegradable waste collected within the Region since GOOD PRACTICES 5

6 The household source segregated biodegradable waste collected increased almost 8 fold between 2009 & 2013 while the commercial source segregated biodegradable waste collected increased almost 6 fold between 2008 & 2012 Refer to 3.1 for further details. None 1.6 External factors 2. IMPLEMENTATION 2.1 Preparation phase Following on from the publication of the Irish National Strategy on Biodegradable Waste (April 2006) a number of discussion documents were published to examine the options available these included: In January 2008 the EPA published the discussion document - Hitting the Targets for Biodegradable Municipal Waste Ten Options for Change This paper reviews the way Ireland managed the organic fraction of biodegradable municipal waste and suggested ten possible public policy interventions to encourage changes in management practices. In July 2008 the Department of Environment, Community & Local Government (DECLG) issued a circular to all Local Authorities Implementation of segregated brown bin collection for biowaste and home composting which requested local authorities to accelerate the implementation of the National Strategy on Biodegradable Waste and in particular the roll-out of the brown bin source-segregated collection systems for organic waste through specified measures. The Composting Association of Ireland (Cré) prepared a recommended list of materials for a household brown bin scheme, in order to standardise household brown bin schemes across the country and to prevent waste collectors from reinventing the wheel. In 2010 Cré published the Research Report The Collectable Source Separated Food and Garden Waste Arising from Households in Ireland This report reviewed some of the best biowaste collection systems in the EU and then they were applied to the Irish situation. The report estimated the collectable source-separated food and garden waste for each county in Ireland. The study recommended national legislation requiring that all household collectors provide a food waste collection service to households, national awareness campaign on the proper use of brown bin and promotion of food waste prevention/home GOOD PRACTICES 6

7 composting. Household-Food-and-Garden-Waste-in-Ireland.pdf Prior to the publication of the commercial and household food waste regulations the DECLG undertook a Regulatory Impact Assessments and these can be viewed via the following website links: Regulatory impact assessment for household food waste regulations: ,en.pdf Regulatory impact assessment for commercial food waste regulations: ,en.pdf Prior to the implementation of the requirement to source segregrate food waste the Limerick/Clare/Kerry Regional Office held a workshop to inform and train waste collectors, authorised to collect waste within the Region. The workshop indicated how and when to segregate food waste and some case studies were also presented. 2.2 Technical implementation Prior to the implementation of national legislation the Limerick/Clare/Kerry Region specified minimum targets in relation to the collection of source segregation commercial and household food waste, for waste collectors operating within the Region, by specifying conditions in the collectors Waste Collection Permit. The Waste Collection Permit condition required collection of source segregation commercial and household food waste since In 2009 the Waste Management (Food Waste) Regulations 2009 (S.I. No. 508/2009) were published and came into force in Ireland on 1st July The Regulations require that commercial producers of food waste source segregate food waste, ensure that it is not mixed with other waste and make it available for a brown bin collection service alternatively they can bring the food waste directly to a food waste recycling plant; or the food waste can be treated by composting it on the premises where it is generated. In April 2013 the EU (Household Food Waste and Bio-waste) Regulations 2013 (S.I. No. 71/2013) were published and are designed to promote the segregation and recovery of household food waste. The Regulations impose obligations on both householders and waste collectors. Householders are obliged to segregate their food waste, and make it available for separate collection. Alternatively GOOD PRACTICES 7

8 householders may compost the food waste at home; or bring it to authorised treatment facilities (such as civic amenity sites or anaerobic digestion sites) themselves. Where a source-segregated collection for food waste is available, householders are not allowed to dispose of food waste in the residual waste collection service (the Black Bin). Waste collectors are required to provide a separate collection service for household food waste. The roll-out of the brown bin is being phased in on a progressive basis, and began on 1st July The timetable for when the regulations take effect is as follows: 1st July 2013 for population centres greater than 25,000 persons; 31st December 2013 for population centres greater than 20,000 persons; 1st July 2014 for population centres greater than 10,000 persons; 1st July 2015 for population centres greater than 1,500 persons, and 1st July 2016 for population centres greater than 500 persons. By July 2016, brown bins will be rolled out to most towns and villages. Only very small population areas, or small islands, will be exempt, because it is not technically, environmentally or economically practical to separately collect such waste in these areas 2.3 Communicative implementation In 2009, to coincide with the requirements of the waste collectors to provide segregated collection within the Limerick/Clare/Kerry Region, the Regional office published advertisements in local newspapers regarding the brown bin and prepared and circualted information leaflets. GOOD PRACTICES 8

9 In 2014 a 2-sided leaflet was prepared by the Southern Waste Region in order to highlight the message of prevention and to highlight the do s, don t s and everything you need to know.. about the brown bin. A fridge magnet regarding prevention of food waste has also been prepared. GOOD PRACTICES 9

10 A copy of the leaflet and fridge magnet are availble on our website The authorised private collectors within the region also disturbed information regarding the food bin and put information on their website. The above information leaflets were provided to collectors in pdf. format Following the publication of the Waste Management (Food Waste) Regulations 2009 the Department of the Environment set up the website to inform commercial business of their requirements under the above Regulations. The website includes information fact sheets, FAQs (frequently asked questions), case studies and relevant Local Authority contact details. The EPA subsequently developed the website aimed primarily at householders and looks at the food we waste, food we buy, food we eat and home composting In March 2010 the information guide Less Food Waste More Profit was compiled by Clean Technology Centre, Cork Institute of Technology in conjunction with the Green Hospitality Awards programme (GHA) and supported by the Environmental Protection Agency s National Waste Prevention Programme (NWPP). The guide was aimed at the catering sector and provides a step-bystep approach on how to eliminate, reduce, reuse, recycle, recover and dispose of food waste. _Profit_Booklet_2010.pdf In addition to the websites the issue of food waste and the requirement to source segregated have been highlighted in a number of national television programmes. For example Wastewatchers, a television documentary shown in December 2013, documented how householders and business in a town, within this Region, reduced the quantity of food waste produced through making some small changes in the way food is managed in their homes and businesses. GOOD PRACTICES 10

11 The main Irish news channel had a feature regarding food waste over the Christmas 2013 period. The commercial and household waste collectors within Ireland provide details regarding the source segregation of foodwaste on their websites. 2.4 Organisations involved Department of Environment, Community & Local Government (DECLG) responsibility for publication of strategy documents, circular documents to Local Authorities and preparing national legislation. Three Waste Regions within Ireland - responsible for the preparation of Waste Management Plans which detail the framework for the implementation of relevant EU & national legislation. Local Authorities responsible for the implementation of national food waste legislation, waste collection permits and the objectives specified in the Waste Management Plans. They also have responsibility for permitting composting facilities where the annual intake does not exceed 10,000tonnes. EPA responsible for the publication of the discussion document - Hitting the Targets for Biodegradable Municipal Waste Ten Options for Change (January 2008). The EPA subsequently developed the website aimed primarily at householders, which was funded under the EPA National Waste Prevention Programme (NWPP). The EPA are also responsible for the publication of the National Waste Report which provides details of the annual waste quantities collected. Cré is a non-profit membership Association, established in 2001, and is a member of the European Compost Network. Cré acts as a forum to interested parties to discuss all aspects of composting and anaerobic digestion and has three committees the Technical, Anaerobic Digestion and Public Relations Committees. Cré have prepared and prepare and publish a number of documents on behalf/in conjunction with the DECLG. For example: August 2013 Review of Best International Practice on How to Educate Households on Using the Brown Bin Correctly, 2010 the Research Report The Collectable Source Separated Food and Garden Waste Arising from Households in Ireland Private waste collectors these are required to collect source segregated food waste from both commercial and household premises, in accordance with the conditions of their Waste Collection Permit and national legislation. GOOD PRACTICES 11

12 2.5 Key success factors Elements necessary: National Legislation to ensure the same requirements are applicable throughout the country no competitive advantage for operators operating in areas where less onerous requirements. Public consultation prior to the implementation of the measure. For example the commercial and household food waste regulations were subject to public consultation prior to their implementation. Certainty in the market collectors require assurance that the household collection market is not going to change in the short-to-medium term. There was a period in Ireland between where the possibility of franchise bidding/competitive tendering was undergoing consultation and this led to stagnation in the market in relation to the roll-out of the brown bin. Education and awareness at national & local level to ensure all relevant parties are aware of their requirements. Enforcement evidence of enforcement is paramount to ensuring successful implementation across all sectors. Feedback collation and publication of relevant data in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the measure. 2.6 Resources As waste collection in Ireland is primarily undertaken by the private sector the implementation of the brown bin is primarily financed by the private sector. There is the initial investment cost in the provision of the separate bin/caddy for the collection of the source segregated food waste and associated education/awareness cost. In relation to the collection of the waste the collector has to arrange for the collection of the waste by either adopting existing collection vehicles to store the waste appropriately or changing/alternating their collection model. Despite the investment and running cost associated with collection of source segregated food waste there will be savings in landfill cost as the quantity of residual waste collected is reduced. The exact investment costs, running costs and savings are not available as this information is commercially sensitive. GOOD PRACTICES 12

13 3. RESULTS 3.1 Monitoring of the progress of the GP All private waste collectors in Ireland must have a Waste Collection Permit (WCP). The WCP requires collectors to provide details of the quantity of waste collected on an annual basis. The details required include Local Authority Area where the waste was collected, the waste type (EWC Code), the waste quantity and the disposal/recovery location. Therefore details of the quantity of source segregated food waste are available per Local Authority Area. The roll-out of the household organic bin has resulted in a significant increase in the quantity of household biodegradable waste collected within the Region since Household - Source segregated organic waste collected at the kerbside Tonnes Since 2008 there has been a significant increase year-on-year on the total quantity of commercial biodegradable waste collected for recovery within the Region with the largest increase between 2010 and 2011 (i.e. 43% increase) indicating the effectiveness of the sustained enforcement and awareness programmes implemented in GOOD PRACTICES 13

15 3.2 Other results In a recent submission by a large private waste collector in the Limerick/Clare/Kerry Region, in relation to the preparation of new Waste Plans it was stated our research prior to roll out and our experience since we began rolling out the food waste system in 2009 shows us that the kerbside caddy system is the best system for collecting food waste. It is very easy to control contamination and the clean material collected is suitable for anaerobic digestion as well as compost. Wheelie bins system for food and garden waste (together) is providing great difficulty with regards to contamination and the material is only suitable for composting and not the more energy efficient and environmentally friendly anaerobic digestion. GOOD PRACTICES 15

16 4. LESSONS LEARNED 4.1 Negative effects There are indications that the actual cost of collection and treatment of source segregated food waste maybe greater than the residual waste disposal cost, even though large quantities of residual waste are currently being exported. Waste audits undertaken within the Region have shown: o High levels of contamination within the brown bin particularly with plastics o Storage of food waste on site for prolonged periods prior to presentation for disposal. o Health Service Executive restrictions regarding storage of food waste in kitchen areas appear to be a barrier in some cases. o Reluctance to use source segregate due to expensive cost of compostable liners. o The rejection of food bins by the collectors where contamination is an issue does not appear to be happening as collectors are afraid to loose customers due to the competitive nature of the private collection business. The legal requirement for the roll out of source segregated food waste provides a solution to the treatment of generated waste it does not address the issue of prevention nor does it address the issues of behavioural change and attitudes to food waste. 4.2 Challenges Despite the awareness campaigns by both government bodies and the private waste collectors there was a significant number of commercial and householders unaware of the requirement to source segregate food waste when enforcement was undertaken. It is very difficult to motivate people to change their behaviour, particularly in relation to waste management, unless there is an actual monetary gain. Lack of enforcement of both the collectors and producers of the waste leads to a slow roll out of the bins and their subsequent use, there is a need for consistent enforcement across all Local Authorities to ensure specific collectors or businesses do not have a competitive advantage over areas where the requirements are not enforced. The issue of collection frequency also needs to be addressed currently household food waste and some food waste from the retail sector is only collected every 2 weeks which raises the issue of the quality of the material presented for composting, particularly during the summer months. It is also seen as a barrier to participation as householders/commercial premises do not have adequate capacity for storage of 2 weeks food waste resulting in food waste been disposed of in the residual bin. Despite the above challenges it should be noted that the Limerick/Clare/Kerry Region has the second highest rate of brown bin uptake in Ireland, within the capital Dublin having the largest.
