4 - Solution beyond Aborgase (I)

16

No conformities Actions Implications Recovery of potentially recoverable fractions

Designed a plant for bulky waste treatment Presented to local association a cost assessment in order to increase tipping fee

Constructed the first phase of the bulky waste treatment plant

No increase in tipping fee

Previous treatment of green waste, landfilling treatment procedure during technical shutdowns and weekends

Designed a bulky waste treatment plant

Desigend a revamping of MSW recycling plant, with 5 authomatized sorting lines, aimed at increasing capacit up to maximum

Constructed the first phase of the bulky waste treatment plant

After several modifications, increase manual sorting lines and optimized feeding and organic fraction refining processes Landfilling of potentially

recoverable fractions

No conformities Actions Implications Open air storage of recovered fractions, including compost

Cost study of covering the area carried out

Proposed by ABORGASE, expanded plastic treatment warehouse

No coverage in the rest of storage areas

Green waste is neither ground nor composted

Designed a Bulky Waste treatment plant, with a front grinder for green waste (previous to composting)

Grinder in included in second phase, which was not finally accomplished

Compost and recovered fraction open air storage

Carried out cost assessment of covering all the required areas

Proposed by ABORGASE, expanded plastic treatment warehouse

No coverage in the rest of storage areas

All no conformities found were finally corrected, except 3 whose solution exceeded ABORGASE scope; but

were partially solved

5 - Major impacts - Operation and Investments

19

Operation Costs Processing cots increases due to the necessity of processing 100% of waste and fostering by-products recovery

+12%

Landfill adaptation costs

Expend costs for adapting landfills to national legislation during 2011 - 2018

6,4 M€

Infrastructure Environmental controls

General high increase in the level of control and recording, which will be expend during the landfill operating life plus the post closure period (- 2046)

300.000 €/year

New Infrastructures Bulky waste processing plant – phase 1

MSW plant expansion

By-products press expansion

650.000 €

1.900.000 €

140.000 €

IPPC Environmental Standard implementation has meant increase on control and recording levels, higher operation cost for

processing 100% of incoming waste and additional investments in landfill and processing plant

5 - Major impacts - Operation and Investments

20

Increase in controls and records

Treat all waste and maximize recovery

Landfill Standards Post closure activity

Conclusions – IPPC Implementation The whole certification process has taken 6 years, being still alive

The certification was completed successfully, being granted in October 2007, and extended in July 2009

Out of a total 165 issues, just 30 were no conform 7 were of immediate solution 17 required discussion to really understand the situation and agree a feasible solution In 6 the solution exceeded ABORGASE scope, 3 were solved by means of extra investment

and in 2, were partially solved in agreement with the administration

The implementation process, moreover 6 years of work, has implied additional investments (9,4 M€), higher operation costs (+12%) and high increase in number of controls and records

The additional cost (investment and operation) are partially covered by ABORGASE

The IPPC has been a high challenge, but today we do a more responsible and respectful waste management activity
