2 About Spreadsheet Tool User Manual MSW generated from household sectors is complex both in terms of quality and quantity and is therefore dealt with separately. Most cities around the world are expanding with a growth in the population. As there is more economic growth, there is rapid change in the MSW quantity and quality. The changing waste quantity and quality exerts pressure on the existing waste management systems. The objective of this spreadsheet is to assist in interactive discussions for developing decision support systems for MSW Management. This Spreadsheet Tool also assists in the Strategic Planning Process by helping in data collection and analysis, assessment of gaps in MSW management, assisting in setting new goals, objectives and targets to improvise MSW Management. It also gives the user the option of understanding the impacts of the various schemes on MSW management. By this it enables the user to understand the current situation better and make more relevant and better decisions. The Spreadsheet Tool is based upon a simple model which consists of MSW management from generation to disposal. The aim is to provide a simple, interactive system to analyze the environmental, economic (and eventually social) impacts of various management options. The Spreadsheet MSW Tool can help by visualizing a first cut rapid assessment of options with available data and determine critical areas for future work. The Spreadsheet Tool for Planning MSW Management begins with a Main Menu which is followed by the following worksheets: I.

5 1 Introduction to the Spreadsheet Tool User Manual 1.1 Objectives of this Tool UNEP implemented three ISWM Plan projects in varied locations and under different circumstances which led to an increase in the knowledge pool of UNEP. In order to share the experience during these projects and thereby aid other city municipals and authorities for implementing ISWM Plans, a Guidance Manual was attempted. This Guidance Manual targeted at the urban management authorities, provides a set of distilled guidelines that can be practiced to enhance the ISWM implementation process. Along with the Guidance Manual, a Toolkit for ISWM Planning has been attempted which can be used by urban management authorities to understand the situation of waste management in the city as well as to aid in the consultative approach and thinking towards integrated management of solid waste. This Toolkit for ISWM Planning includes a Spreadsheet Tool for Planning Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Management. MSW generated from household sectors is complex both in terms of quality and quantity and is therefore dealt with separately. Most cities around the world are expanding with a growth in the population. As there is more economic growth, there is rapid change in the MSW quantity and quality. The changing waste quantity and quality exerts pressure on the existing waste management systems. The objective of this spreadsheet is to assist in interactive discussions for developing decision support systems for MSW Management. 5

6 The Integrated Solid Waste Management concept as per definition involves the entire life cycle process from generation to disposal of waste. This issue not just involves different sources of waste generation but also diversities in terms of waste characteristics, involved stakeholders and required technological know how. In order to deal with this complex issue, for arriving at an optimal solution a number of difficult choices will have to be made. Prediction of waste generation and characterization is crucial for developing a robust waste management plan. However, these parameters being a function of several factors, the prediction will have to be done following the scenario building approach. The scenario based approach; participatory frame work and analysis of alternatives to come up with a robust alternative are some of the key principles enshrined in the Strategic Planning Process. Hence this process has been adopted as the basis for developing the Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan. The Strategic Planning process focuses more on adaptability to change, flexibility and importance of strategic thinking and organizational learning. The Strategic Planning (SP) process begins with a situation analysis, i.e. an assessment of the internal as well as external environment. The present situation is carefully evaluated to find out if the organization is on track towards meeting its goal and vision. If no goals/objectives have previously been set then the new goals / objectives are set and the SP process is geared towards achieving targets under each objective. This is followed by development of action plan on how to meet targets by the implementation of various schemes. The action plan is then monitored to check if targets have been attained or not. In case targets are not achieved, the process is repeated till the desired targets are met. The growth of a city is characterized by increase in economic and developmental activities. These activities are typically driven by the production and consumption patterns. Over the years, the economic activities have been mapped with the manufacturing and construction activities. The improved standard of living and extent of commercialization in the cities have significantly changed the consumption patterns and thereby the waste composition. The inability to fully grasp the problems of waste generation and characterization have resulted in transforming Solid Waste Management as one of the most compelling problem of urban environmental degradation. The solid waste quantities generated as well as its ever changing characteristics is at an alarming proposition. The household waste contains biodegradable waste such as vegetables, leftover foods; non biodegradable materials such as plastics, and hazardous material like used batteries; thereby rendering it to be a complicated situation to handle. Construction and Demolition (C&D) wastes are also many a time considered as part of MSW and such mixed waste is disposed at the landfill reducing the life of the landfills. In addition to this the wastes generated from commercial establishments and from industries add a different dimension to the waste generation scenario. The industrial hazardous wastes if mixed into Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) create unsafe conditions. Furthermore, the problems of bio medical waste and the electronic waste (E waste) generation lead to complicated waste generation and management scenario. 6

7 The heightened awareness and the governing regulatory regime have resulted in the involvement of various agencies like government, private and non government organizations; to undertake pilots and projects in partnership. However, an integrated and strategic approach is still missing. In most cases the projects and initiatives have remained either isolated or not up scaled or replicated. Individual or fragmented approach is bound to become unsustainable in view of increasing complexity of the waste streams. Unless the approach is strategic and cross sectional, ad hoc waste management will always remain a challenge. There is also a dire need to integrate the informal sector into mainstream waste management process. This informal sector which may comprise of rag pickers, illegal or unauthorized recyclers handle a substantial amount of waste generated without the requisite environmental safeguards. A plausible solution to waste management would be an integrated approach which would include collective management of all types of wastes and implementation of the 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) policies and strategies. Figure below highlights the need for ISWM. There is a growing realization of the negative impacts that wastes have had on the local environment (air, water, land, human health etc.) Cities are facing an increasing growth in population, and shares in GDP growth, resulting in among other things increasing quantities of waste being generated Due to changing lifestyles and consumption patterns, the quantity of waste generated has increased with quality and composition of waste becoming more varied and changing. Complexity, costs and coordination of waste management has necessitated multi stakeholder involvement in every stage of the waste stream. This calls for an integrated approach to waste management. NEED FOR ISWM Local Governments are now looking at waste as a business opportunity, (a) to extract valuable resources contained within it that can still be used and (b) to safely process and dispose wastes with a minimum impact on the environment Industrialization and economic growth has produced more amounts of waste, including hazardous and toxic wastes. Need for ISWM 1 1 As referred to 7

8 Several Solid Waste Management Plans have been developed around the world. Many of them have been used as illustrations in this chapter as well as the following chapters. However many of these plans are mostly highlighting the problem of Municipal Solid Waste and therefore they are not able to handle the whole waste management problem in an integrated manner. This may also be as there is no standard methodology for ISWM planning. In order to cope with the problem of Solid Waste Management, The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) through International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC), Division of Technology, Industry, and Economics (DTIE) have been instrumental in developing and implementing Integrated Solid Waste Management Plans for three cities, namely: 1. Pune city, India 2. Wuxi, Peoples Republic of China 3. Lesotho, South Africa The objective of the projects were to develop Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) plan covering MSW, Biomedical waste, Industrial hazardous waste, Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste and Electronic waste. The plans would cover all the aspects of ISWM chain including collection, segregation, transportation, recycling, treatment and disposal. The implementation of these three projects, set up in varied locations and under different circumstances has led to an increase in the knowledge pool of UNEP. In order to share the experiences during these projects and thereby aid other city municipals and authorities for implementing ISWM plans, a Guidance Manual has been attempted. This Guidance Manual, targeted at the urban management authorities, provides a set of distilled guidelines that can be practiced to enhance the ISWM implementation process. The UNEP DTIE IETC is utilizing the services of Mr. Rahul Datar with support from Environmental Management Centre to assist them to carry out the project and carry out the tasks identified to achieve the project objective. 8

10 The ISWM concept has to be adapted with the view that effective management schemes need the flexibility of design, adaptation, and systems in ways which best meet current social, economic, and environmental conditions. These are likely to change over time and vary by location. The need for consistency in quality and quantity of recycled and recovered materials (compost, energy), the need to support a range of disposal options, and the benefit of economies of scale, suggest that the ISWM systems should be organized on a large scale. Some of the major features of ISWM can be listed as follows: Holistic approach to all waste streams thus maximizing synergetic benefits in collection, recycling, treatment & disposal Maximize the opportunities for resource recovery at all stages from generation to final disposal Accommodate aspirations of all stakeholders from waste generators to waste management and service providers Facilitate life cycle view of products and materials; thus, promoting greater resource use efficiency Integrate different response functions such as technical, managerial, financial, policy, etc. Greater local ownership & responsibilities / participation through a consultative approach The Integrated Solid Waste Management concept as per definition involves the entire life cycle process from generation to disposal of varied waste streams. This issue not just involves different sources of waste generation but also diversities in terms of waste characteristics, involved stakeholders and required technological know how. In order to deal with this complex issue, for arriving at an optimal solution a number of difficult choices will have to be made. Prediction of waste generation and characterization is crucial for developing a robust waste management plan. However, these parameters being a function of several factors, the prediction has to be done following the scenario building approach. A plan for managing diverse streams needs a flexible approach involving varied organizations and stake holders and generating alternatives based on participatory approach. The scenario based approach; participatory framework and analysis of alternatives to come up with a robust alternative are some of the key principles enshrined in the Strategic Planning (SP) Process. Hence this process can be adopted as the basis for developing the ISWM Plan. The SP process focuses more on adaptability to change, flexibility and importance of strategic thinking and organizational learning. Further, SP is a continuous process and not a one time or quantum activity. The process should begin with a situation analysis, i.e. an assessment of the internal as well as external environment. During this process, the existing situation has to be carefully evaluated to find out if the organization is on track towards meeting its goal and vision. If no goals/objectives have previously been set then the new goals / objectives should be set and the SP process has to be geared towards achieving targets under each objective. 10

11 This should be followed by development of action plan on how to meet targets. The action plan has to be then monitored to check if targets have been attained or not. In case targets are not achieved, the process should be repeated till the desired targets are met. Strategic Planning (SP): Basic Concepts Strategic Planning (SP) is a management tool which helps an organization to achieve its goals. The term strategic is used for the process because it prepares the organization to respond circumstances related to organization s dynamic environment. Strategic planning is about: The choice that is made out of a number of alternatives that can be done or need to be done; Prioritisation of these choices; Timing of the action associated with these choices Strategy is essentially a bridge between the past and future. The past and present are viewed when an "as is" study is done while the future is visualized through the "to be study of the overall management structure. Here, strategic planning helps in providing ways of maximizing opportunities, developing a far sighted approach for managing the solid wastes in the region. Strategy is thus a process of: Targeting the key things that can be done to move in that direction (priority issues, key influences on these issues and the most effective ways of dealing with them); and Engaging everyone concerned to carry them out The main components of a strategy are: Assessment including diagnosis (at the start of a strategy); Monitoring and evaluation (during a strategy); Designing the actions (planning); Taking the actions (implementation). These components must continue together and reinforce one another. The best strategies have been based on participation, building on good existing plans and processes, with clear attention to integrated approach. However, strategies are not panaceas. But indeed they break new ground in the ways societies and governments tackle complex issues related to solid waste management. 11

12 Strategic planning should be a participatory process because: Spreadsheet Tool User Manual for Planning MSW Management Solid waste management is not possible by one or two institutions. It is a shared responsibility; Participation means shared responsibility for the strategy and its joint undertaking; Participation by stakeholder groups is critical for decision making. The result will be a realistic strategy with a broad base of knowledge, understanding and commitment from the groups involved; Participants bring information to the strategy, ensuring that it is based on a common understanding of purpose, problems and solutions; Participation is the most effective way of communicating information on which the strategy is based, its goals, and tasks to be undertaken; Participation should be expanded as the strategy develops. In the present context, strategic planning could assist in: Developing institutions and organisational arrangements that are better equipped to cope with uncertainty, rapid change and the need for more integrated decisions; Developing institutional and technological skills in solid waste management; Developing multi agency networks: Incorporating the public, private and the informal sector; Setting in motion analysis of the main constraints to more integrated management. With a goal as broad as ISWM, it is tempting to try to do everything. Planning must ensure that a strategy concentrates on a few priority issues while retaining a broad purview. Such a strategy is more likely to be implemented successfully. Strategic planning seeks to answer questions such as: "What is our vision?" "How should we be organized?" "How should we allocate resources to our programs and services? 12

13 SP process is about planning because it involves setting of targets or goals and developing a framework to achieve these goals. In other words, it can be explained as a vehicle for journey, from present situation to better future. Strategic Planning (SP) is about the choice that is made from a number of alternatives, the prioritization of those choices, and the timing of the action associated with them. Thus, it is a proactive and target oriented process cum methodology. The objective of SP is to allocate organizational resources and to establish priorities of actions. SP can thus be beneficial to the economic efficiency of the organization as well, by guiding a more efficient use of personnel and a more productive application of available financial resources 2. Lastly, SP is essential towards achievement of long term objective of developmental activities as it encourages a simultaneous consideration of social, environmental and economic factors. Figure below explains the basic steps in SP. Preparation Follow up Monitoring What is Current Situation? Goals, Objectives and Action Plan Strategic Planning Process Values? How to get there? Where do we want to be? Strategic Planning Process By answering these questions (and many others), SP assists in creating a desired future. The process as explained in Figure 2.2 begins with a situation analysis, i.e. an assessment of the existing status of the organization, known as strategic analysis. Here, key areas of concern are identified based on values and strategic directions are set. The action plan is then monitored to check its effectiveness. The benefits of the strategic planning process have been summarized in Box. 2 How to Prepare an Economic Development Action Plan for Your Community by The Center for Economic Development Research, College of Business Administration, University of South Florida.

INPUTS Worksheet WARDWISE CALCULATIONS Worksheet RESULTS Worksheet WASTE FLOW Worksheet SCHEMES Worksheet Structure of the Spreadsheet Tool The following chapters explain in detail the different sections of the spreadsheet. Various calculations involved and the linkages between different parts of the model are explained in these 16

17 chapters. There are several assumptions made in the Spreadsheet MSW Tool which are also highlighted in the chapters below. The Waste Flow model which has been assumed for this MSW Tool is as shown in the figure below. The Waste Flow model has been considered after reviewing several waste flow models around the world for various different cities. As per this Waste Flow Model the Total MSW Generated undergoes segregation and is then divided into segregated and non segregated waste. The non segregated waste is directly deposited in the bins. While the segregated waste is divided into dry and wet categories which undergo recycling and decentralised treatment respectively. The leftover dry and wet MSW from the recycling and decentralised treatment is transferred to the bins. Therefore the total MSW received in the bins consists of the non segregated MSW along with the leftover MSW from recycling and treatment processes. This MSW from the bins is collected by the vehicles to be transferred to the Transfer Stations. There are two types of waste collection vehicles assumed waste collection vehicle (compactor) and dumper placers. MSW from the Transfer Station is then sent to the landfill. MSW at the landfill is segregated again into segregated and non segregated MSW. The segregated MSW at the landfill is divided into the dry and wet components. The wet component undergoes centralised treatment and the leftover wet MSW is again sent back to the landfill. Therefore the total MSW actually deposited in the landfill includes non segregated MSW at the landfill site, dry component of the segregated MSW at the landfill and the leftover wet component of the treated wet segregated MSW at the landfill. This waste flow has been designed as such keeping in mind several limitations as well which are explained in detailed in the following chapters. 17

22 2.3 Entering and Analyzing Data on Ward wise Calculation Worksheet WARDWISE CALCULATION This Worksheet is where the waste inventory for all the wards/zones in a city takes place. The total values are the waste inventory for the city. This waste inventory is calculated by the inputs given by the user and is calculated as per the waste flow diagram. This worksheet will show information for the current year and the next five decades. The user would first have to click on the Add Wards/Zones button and add the number of wards/ zones in the city. This would increase the number of rows below each decade. Two population growth models Arithmetic and Geometric growth models have been given. The user has the choice to select the growth model. The User would then have to enter the inputs for the various parameters which are listed in columns that have been colored in green. The ward/zone names would have to be entered along with a brief description of the ward/zone in the comments column. The brief description can include information about the housing patterns, economic profile of the population etc. The area of the wards needs to be entered. In order to calculate the population growth, the previous two decades along with the current decade population needs to be entered by the user. After all the inputs have been entered, the calculations set for the waste inventory will be done automatically. The results from the calculations on this worksheet will be displayed in the output worksheets including the results, waste flow, and charts worksheets. 22

They should encompass the entire lifecycle from generation to 24

25 disposal. Various themes maybe assessment of data, recycle and reuse options, infrastructure development, awareness and training, capacity building, partnerships etc. The Schemes should also address the Strategic and Operational Selection of technologies. A set of 12 Schemes have been provided in the Schemes worksheet. These Schemes were found to be suitable for improving MSW Management across any city. These Schemes address issues such as awareness raising, increase in segregation, recycling and treatment. The list of these 12 schemes is given below: Sr. Scheme No. Television short film/radio advertisement imparting awareness towards solid waste 1 management targeting reduction in generation and higher segregation including messages given out by celebrities Establishing an Environmental Awareness Centre with increased involvement of 2 schools using posters, dramas and campaigns to spread awareness in local areas Introducing cleanlinesss/segregation as a theme during major events like festivals, 3 sports events, large gatherings etc. Establishing Community Sorting Centres and formalising sorting workers like 4 ragpickers or waste pickers Strengthening of ragpickers or waste pickers by imparting formal training and 5 providing incentives to increase segregation 6 Introducing Awards schemes in wards/zones with higher segregation 7 Tax benefits for citizens in wards/zones with higher segregation 8 Imposing fines on wards/zones not establishing a proper segregation system 9 Demonstration projects for establishng new recycling technology Demonstration projects for improvising the technology used for decentralised 10 treatment and for standardising methods of operation to increase efficiency of treatment Making a Market in city farming areas for Compost from decentralised treatment 11 plants Creating a market for recycled material to be used as packaging material in the city 12 malls and markets These Schemes impact four main variables as shown below. These variables act as the MSW Impact Indicators. Percentage of Per Capita MSW Generation MSW Impact Indicators Percentage of Segregation Percentage of Recycling Percentage of Treatment % (Decreases) % (Increases) % (Increases) % (Increases) The Default Impact of the schemes on the four variables has been provided for the user. The User can select the scheme that is relevant for the city under consideration. The User also has the option of adding some more schemes if it is required. The user can also make changes in the amount of impact in percentage for various variables. However this is subject to the input initially made by the user in the Inputs Worksheet. The calculation and selection of amount of impact in percentage for various variables has been explained in the next section in more detail. 25

26 The total amount of impacts on the various variables would increase or decrease the percentage of inputs on the Inputs Worksheet. This would in turn have an effect of the total waste inventory along with a change in the total amount of MSW going to the landfill. The Inputs impacted would be as follows: VARIABLES Percentage of Per Capita MSW Generation Per Capita MSW Generation IMPACTS ON DECREASES Percentage of Segregation Percentage of Recycling Percentage of Treatment Percentage of MSW Segregation Percentage of Recycling of Dry Segregated MSW Percentage of Decentralised Treatment of Wet Segregated MSW INCREASES INCREASES INCREASES MSW TO LANDFILL DECREASES 26

27 3 Assumptions and Calculations in the Spreadsheet Tool 3.1 Assumptions There are several assumptions made in the Spreadsheet Tool. These assumptions were required to be made in order to make the Model functional and more flexible. The main assumption is the Waste Flow Model which has been assumed for this MSW Tool. The Waste Flow model has been considered after reviewing several waste flow models around the world for various different cities. The inputs required in the Inputs Worksheets were set based on Outputs in this Waste Flow Model. The inputs in the Inputs Worksheet have to be entered by the user. However, default values have been provided after comparing values from various cities around developing and developed countries. The per capita generation of MSW is assumed to be only from the households. The other areas are not considered. The assumptions made in the Waste Flow Model include that the Total MSW Generated undergoes segregation where the MSW is separated as Segregated or Non segregated MSW. Non segregated MSW refers to mixed waste which is sent to the Waste bins directly. Segregated MSW refers to 100% segregation of MSW into dry and wet components. The Dry component of the segregated MSW undergoes Recycling where the MSW is recycled and the leftover Dry MSW is sent to the Waste bins. The Wet component of the segregated MSW undergoes Decentralised Treatment where the MSW is treated and the leftover Wet MSW is sent to the Waste bins. The MSW from the bins is then collected by vehicles (dumper placer whose capacity is assumed to be that of one bin and waste collection vehicle whose capacity has to be entered by the user). The vehicles transfer the MSW to the Transfer Stations. From the Transfer Stations the MSW is sent to the Landfill. The MSW received at the landfill then undergoes segregation where the MSW is separated as Segregated or Non segregated MSW. The Non Segregated MSW is deposited into the landfill. Segregated MSW refers to 100% segregation of MSW into dry and wet components. The Dry component of the segregated MSW is deposited into the landfill. The Wet component of the segregated MSW undergoes Centralized Treatment where the MSW is treated and the leftover Wet MSW is deposited into the landfill. Therefore the total MSW deposited in the landfill is assumed to be the non segregated MSW at the landfill site, dry component of the segregated MSW at the landfill and the leftover wet component of the treated wet segregated MSW at the landfill. 27

30 MSW in Landfill / Population RESULTS WORKSHEET Landfill Life and Adequacy: Landfill Life = {Unused Existing Landfill Capacity (10 (Current Year MSW to Landfill) ([Current+10 MSW to Landfill] Current Year MSW to landfill))} / [Current+10 MSW to Landfill] SCHEMES WORKSHEET Maximum Permissible Total Amount of Impact for the various variables: For Percentage of Per Capita MSW Generation, the maximum permissible Total Amount of Impact has been fixed at 20% Decrease Based on current inputs for Percentage of Segregation, Percentage of Recycling and Percentage of Treatment, Then Below 25% 300% Increase 25 35% 180% Increase 35 45% 120% Increase 45 55% 80% Increase 55 65% 50% Increase 65 75% 30% Increase 75 85% 10% Increase 85 95% 5% Increase Modified Inputs based on total impact of the schemes: Eg. [Percentage Increase in Percentage of Segregation * Percentage of Segregation] + Percentage of Segregation = Modified Percentage of Segregation 30

31 4 User Flexibility in the Spreadsheet Tool The User has the option of deciding several inputs in the Spreadsheet Tool. These options have been provided to make this Spreadsheet Tool usable for any city s MSW Management. The options available for the user in the worksheets of the Spreadsheet Tool are listed below: Inputs Worksheet: All the inputs that are to be entered in this Worksheet are to be entered by the User based on the scenario of the particular city in discussion. Wardwise Calculations Worksheet: In this worksheet, the User has the option of selecting the number of Wards in the city. There are two population growth models for the user to decide. The user then can make edits in the various inputs required in this worksheet marked in green color. Different values for different wards can be given for number of bins and vehicles. Results and Waste Flow Worksheet: The user has the choice of choosing the decade for which the results are to be viewed. Schemes Worksheet: The user can select or not select the given Schemes in this worksheet. The user has the option of adding more schemes on to this worksheet. User can also change the impact percentage values however this would be subject to the maximum values which are assigned based on the initial inputs entered by the user in the Inputs Worksheet. The user has the option of selecting and not selecting the schemes in various combinations in order to visualize the change brought out by the schemes impact on the waste inventory as well as to enhance the discussion process. The user also has the option of shifting from one worksheet to another for making input changes and viewing different decade results. This is very useful for the user to understand the MSW Management situation of the city, discuss and to decide the options that need to be taken for improving it. 31
