1 Aspects of Waste Management and Recycling in South Africa Marba Visagie Environment Directorate Department of Trade and Industry (the dti)
2 Presentation Outline Vision Background Legal Context Stakeholders Business and Government Partnering Waste - to Energy Potential Calling for Country Partnerships Conclusion
3 Efficient & Market Driven Recycling Organised Recycling Industry Recycling Initiatives Laws and Landfills Waste Dumps, Air & Water Emissions, Poor Control
4 BACKGROUND South Africa Prior to Democracy Pre 1994 Environmental laws focused on limited conservation Water and energy management constituted supply at lowest feasible price Cities developed around mines & mine dumps Municipalities: waste removal to open dumps South Africa Since Democracy 1994 Participation at International Environmental Forums Implementing MEAs including Agenda 21, Basel, UNFCCC and Kyoto World Class Environmental Laws Municipalities: Landfills, recycling initiatives
5 LEGAL CONTEXT National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) 1998: Minimise waste & recycle National Waste Management Act (NWMA) 2009: Compulsory waste management plans Revised Second Hand Goods Act Rules applicable to possession of second hand goods Waste Regulations and By-laws eg. Plastic Bags, Tyres, Hazardous etc Systems to underpin recycling Local By-laws Enforcement (* * *)
6 STAKEHOLDERS Citizens Increasing awareness and commitment to recycling (* * *) Informal sector (pickers, scavengers, small collectors) (* * *) Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) Environmental Acts and Regulations Green Jobs Programme within National Programme of Action Department of Justice Second Hand Goods Act Law Enforcement Local Authorities By-laws Landfill and waste removal services (waste not separated) Recycling and waste exchange initiatives Control landfills and municipal land
7 BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT PARTNERING Municipalities Buy-back centres (marginal profits, volatile markets) Materials Recovery Facilities (* * *) Large business Invest in paper, plastic and glass recycling Metals recycling is an established market Government: Acknowledge Environmental Goods and Services (EGS) Forum and its sub-sectors Commercialised waste removal for industrial waste Buyisa e-bag Programme revenue from plastic bag taxes Outcome of the workshop of 22 September 2009 Recycling Industry Body (RIB) NCPC support
8 WASTE - TO - ENERGY Landfills emit green house gases including methane An extremely damaging green house gas (GHG) Options: Do nothing negative health and climate implications Flare negative climate implications Capture and use to generate electricity best practice, long term CDM gains
9 PARTNERSHIPS POSSIBLE PARTNERSHIPS Most Developing countries have efficient recycling systems. South Africa is calling for technical assistance: Awareness raising, training and technology transfer Advance recycling as part of bigger Sustainable Development Concepts (eg. Symbiocity) Socio-economic gains: partnership opportunities, (dignified) green jobs, green trade Environmental gains: Waste is used productively and no longer wasted, landfills are minimised, mindset changes to appreciate waste for the possibilities it holds
10 CONCLUSION CITIZENS, BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT ARE RECYCLING - READY SA is moving beyond the wasting of waste Maximise the sustainable development potential of waste Beyond fragmented initiatives into organised industry On 22 Sept : Recycling Industry Body (RIB) Get the governance measures required for success Form partnerships to learn from advanced countries Utilise NCPC as a host until matured Make recycling a profitable green business
