Municipal Waste Collection Infrastructure

383 waste material collection centres (ASZ)– Collection of 70 different waste fractions (31 obligatory)

44 collection places for problematic substances (PSS)

Contents of Styrian WMP 2010Public Awareness and PR


New Targets in the Styrian WMP 2010

Waste hierarchy–Prevention

Requirement

• Awareness raising for resourcesaving and waste prevention

• Transfer of knowledge• 1 waste adviser per 20,000

inhabitants• Resource saving consumption

(promotion, initiatives)• Promotion of reusable

packagings in the regional context

Planned implementation


New Targets in the Styrian WMP 2010 Example Re-use

Re-use of Styrian wine bottles– Before: collection via waste glass bins for glass recycling or

return direct to winery for re-use– New option: return via grocery stores for re-use (“all-way bottle”)



Waste hierarchy–Preparation for re-use

Requirement Planned implementation

• Separate taking over ofreusable / repairable goods in waste collection centres:

• Training material for staff• Special hand over areas

• 1 socio-economic reuse-shop per Regionext-region

• Repair-guide of the WIN-initiative

BAN



Waste hierarchy–Recycling

• min. 50 % of paper, metal, plastic and glass wastesfrom households until 2020

• min. 70 % of non-hazardousconstruction & demolitionwaste until 2020

Requirements Planned implementation

• C&D waste: evaluate andincrease current recyclingquotas

• Pilot projects for novelrecycling and sortingtechnologies

• Optimisation of separate wastecollection (attractiveness, handicapped accessibility ofcollection sites, campaignsetc.)

Recycling of gypsumplaster boards


New Targets in the Styrian WMP 2010 Example Recycling

Increase recycling quota of C&D wasteOnline handbooks for handling C&D waste for:– Planners– Building contractors– Authorities– Building, demolition and

earthworks companies– Recycling companies and

landfill operators



Ressource savingRequirement Planned implementation

• Increase of recycling quotas• Knowledge management• Monitoring of soil pollution• Climate protection• Increased efficiency of organic

waste treatment• Continuation of the Styrian

support programme for sustainable economic development “WIN”


New Targets in the Styrian WMP 2010 Example „WIN“

Styrian support programme for sustainable economic development WIN

Funded expert advise for e.g.:– Optimising material flows, emissions, energy use– Extended waste management concepts („AWK plus“)– Environmental management systems (ISO 14001, EMAS)

certifications– CSR and sustainability reports

Extended waste managementconcepts („AWK plus“)

– Revised handbook and template 2012


Participation of thepublic

„Polluter pays“ principle

Precautionary principle


• Awareness raising• Participation (local / small

regional Agenda 21-processes)• Hearing procedure for Styrian

WMP 2010

• Cost recovery of waste-related fees

• Optimisation of municipalwaste management (keyperformance indicators)

• Targets of national wastemanagement act

Requirements Planned implementation


New Targets in the Styrian WMP 2010 Example „Polluter Pays“

Cost recovery of waste related fees


Regional Waste Management Planning

Template for waste management associationsin line with the Styrian Waste Management Plan 2010Additional content: Key performance indicators

− waste-related(e.g. collection bin volumes per capita, opening hours andfrequentation of waste collection centres)

− ecological(e.g. CO2 savings, recovered energy content)

− economic(e.g. costs of collection and transport)

− social(e.g. number of employees and of eco-social jobs)


Vision 2020:By 2020, Styria has assumed a leading role insustainable resource management

3 strategies to implement this visionSustainable resource management– for environmental protection– in society– in economy

New Strategic Approach of the StyrianWaste Management Plan 2010
