2 WASTE IN GENERAL

3 Waste generation (2011) Number of inhabitants: 1,3 million ( ) Total amount of waste generated 21,7 million tons 16,66 tons/person Generation of municipal waste tons 320 kg/person Average in EU Generation of C&D waste 514,0 kg/person 1,45 million tons

4 Waste generation The dominating waste sources in Estonia are: oil shale mining oil shale chemistry power production Municipal waste forms about 3% of the total amount of waste.

5 Municipal Solid Waste Year Total amount Recycled Landfilled Recycling % ,3% ,7% ,6% ,2% ,6% %

6 Composition of MSW 0,3 0,6 6,3 4,3 Plastic 18,6 Glass Metal 17,5 4,4 8,3 2,6 0,4 Wood Biowaste Clothes and textiles Paper & cardboard Hazardous waste WEEE 36,7 Other combustible waste Other non-combustible waste

7 CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT

8 Cluster development 1. Dec, 2009 Nov, 2010 Preliminary projects Compost production and production of recycled aggregates from C&D waste. 2. Jan.01, 2011 Dec.31, 2013 Waste Recycling Cluster Co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through Enterprise Estonia.

9 Main objectives of WRC 1. To increase the amounts of waste recycled in Estonia. 2. To produce from waste products compliant to quality standards and sertified. 3. To increase production capacity and volumes, joint marketing; sales of the products-services and export. international competitiveness. Waste Recycling Cluster as competence center.

10 18 companies Project partners 16 waste management/recycling companies road construction company, Lemminkäinen Eesti AS cement company Kunda Nordic Cement AS 3 research and educational institutions Estonian University of Life Sciences quality and use of compost Tallinn Technical University - long lasting experiences in testing road construction materials and technologies Central Estonian Education and Competence Center

11 Waste hierarchy Most favoured option Prevention Preparing for re-use Recycling Least favoured option Energy recovery Disposal

12 Waste to products Compost Recovered fuels Recycled aggregates

13 Production process WASTE biodegradable waste C&D waste mixed municipal waste TREATMENT sorting,crushing, shredd ing,screening PRODUCTS compost recycled aggregates recovered fuels

14 Estonian Waste Recycling Cluster RECYCELED AGGREGATES

15 Construction &Demolition Waste Quarries in Tallinn and in its surroundings are in 5-6 years perspective empty, diffuculties in opening new quarries. Solution - > use of recycled aggregates. Recycled aggregates in road construction works -> high quality standards and sertified products.

16 Production of recycled aggregates Concrete Sertified products different fractions of cruched concrete. Asphalt concrete Soil and stones Plastics, paper&cardbord, wood - > production recovered fuels.

17 Construction of a test road, 2011 In co-operartion with Estonian Road Authority 425m in length Used material Crushed concrete 0/32 mm Monitored by Tallinn Technical University

18 Construction of the test road, Oct. 11

19 Test road today

20 Test Road Monitoring 1. Bearing capacity measurements 2. Installation of Percostation in June 2012 Percostation is a system for continuous monitoring of dielectric constant, electrical conductivity and temperature of materials.

21 Waste Recycling Cluster RECOVERED FUELS

22 Recovered fuels Mixed municipal waste Waste plastics and paper Light fraction of ELV Solid and liquid hazardous waste (waste oils, paints etc) Calorific value Recovered fuels from 16 MJ/kg Oil shale 8-10 MJ/kg

23 Production of recovered fuels Producers in Estonia 1. Tallinn Waste Recycling Center (plant was opened in May 2011) Capacity tons of MSW 2. Ragn-Sells Ltd (plant opened in Oct.2011) Capacity tons of MSW 3. Smaller producers waste management centers

24 Treatment of MSW

25 Use of recovered fuels High quality recovered fuels - > cement industry Kunda Nordic Cement Export - > Cemex in Latvia, Finnsementti Oy in Finland Negotations with Finnsementti Oy in Finland and cement industry in Sweden Lower quality recovered fuels -> production of heat and power

26 Production of recovered fuels

27 Estonian Waste Recycling Cluster COMPOST

28 Production of compost Biodegradable waste Separately collected kitchen waste Garden and park waste High quality compost -> in agriculture, horticulture, maintenance of green areas as fertilizer Low quality compost (from MBT process) -> land reclamation, construction purposes, not to be use in agriculture

29 Production of compost

30 Production of compost

31 Main Problems Recycling companies produce compost of different quality Compost as fertilizer. Poor image, no market. Requirements for production of compost from biodegradable waste, April, 2013

32 Estonian Waste Recycling Cluster TRAINING PROGRAM

33 Training program Training program was work out in autumn 2011 by the representatives of: Waste recycling companies Ministry of Environment Environmental Board Enivronmental Inspectorate Central Estonian Education and Competence Center

34 8 modules 1. module Waste Management in gereal. 2. module Treatment of municipal solid waste. 3. module Production and use of compost. 4. module Landfills and waste recycling centers. 5. module Recycling of construction and demolition waste. 6. module Hazardous waste. 7. module Extended producere responsibility. 8. module Production and use of recovered fuels. April December first training as a pilot project.

35 Estonian Waste Recycling Cluster RESULTS

36 Increase of recycling in Total amount of waste taken to waste recyling centers Incl. MSW Landfilled MSW Landfilled in total Recycling In 2010 the recycling rate was 19%, in % and in 2012 already 49%. Recycling has increased 2,5 times to compare the years 2010 and 2012.

37 Sertified products

38 Demo-sertification in 2012 In co-operation with European Compost Network and compost expert Florian Amlinger from Austria. Also represetatives from Ministry of Environment, Waste Department took part. 2 day event in Tallinn July 26-27, 2012 July 26 - overview of the legal documents regulating treatment of biodegradable waste and compost production July 27 assessment of compost analyses and plant inspection in Tallinn Waste Recycling Center

39

40 Seminar in August 2012 August 28-29, 2012 Project partners: evaluted the results of the activities of Waste Recycling Cluster. updated the strategy and action plan.

41 Way to the top

42 International co-operation European Compost Network FiBL Research Institute of Organic Agriculture Norwegian Road Authority European Recovered Fuel Organisation European Recycling Industry of Construction & Demolition Waste Tokyo Super Eco Town Waste Management and Recycling Association of Singapore

43 Benefits for the companies Competitors round one table. Reseach work. Co-operation with research and educational institutions -> product quality assessment, improvement of production processes, instruction manuals, qualified empolyees etc. International know-how -> co-operation with other clusters, networks and associtions. Conferences and seminars -> overview of the activites and results of Waste Recyling Cluster and waste management companies. Pilot projects construction of test roads, demonstrations fields etc.
