Development of local municipal solid waste management in the Western Transdanubia region of Hungary
Hungarian municipal solid wastes (MSW) management has developed tremendously over the past 15 years. More than 3,000 landfills and dumps had been closed, just to mention one improvement. However, still, lots of work is necessary to accomplish the EU’s ambitious aim of decreasing landfilling and increasing recycling and composting.
The municipality of Zalaegerszeg is a centre of a Western Transdanubian area, where the MSW management public service for about 500,000 habitants has to be solved daily. In 2016, a Hungarian planning and manufacturing company, the 3B Hungary Ltd. started a project with the Institute of Raw Materials and Environmental Processing, University of Miskolc, to reduce waste landfilling in this region focusing on the local handling and utilisation of the residual municipal solid wastes (RMSW). Processing and utilisation of some selectively collected municipal waste streams were solved previously; therefore, research is focused only on RMSW. Two development stages were planned. The first one is the construction of a mechanical processing plant with which the landfilling ratio of RMSW can be reduced below 60 %. The second one is the local and combined thermal utilisation of the RDF and bio-fraction with which landfilling of RMSW can be further decreased below 15 %.
The first development stage has been accomplished. A new, almost completely Hungarian developed and produced waste processing plant (60,000 tons/year capacity) was inaugurated on 13th July 2018. Intensive research is taking place for accomplishing the second development stage. A common Hungarian problem right now is, that the incineration capacity for RDF thermal utilisation is lower than the produced RDF quantities and that long transport distances exist; therefore, a local solution is a priority. This paper also reports on findings for mechanical pre-treatment, mainly pelletising tests of these material streams to produce fuels for the pyrolysis and to measure the material features for the technological and economic design.

Waschen – Trocknen – Separieren statt Deponieren – sauberer Abfall ist Wertstoff
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2008)
Ein zukunftsfähiges Abfallwirtschaftskonzept muss den Bedingungen der Nachhaltigkeit genügen. Für die Abfallwirtschaft in Deutschland konkretisierte sich der Gedanke der Nachhaltigkeit in der Vision 2020. Spätestens ab 2020 soll ein vollständiges Schließen der Stoffkreisläufe bei möglichst hochwertiger Verwertung der Sekundärprodukte erfolgen, so dass Deponien entbehrlich werden. Im gesamten abfallwirtschaftlichen Kontext sollte die stoffliche Verwertung Vorrang haben, wie es auch in der Novelle der EU-Abfallrahmenrichtlinie gefordert ist. Die „drei V“ der Abfallwirtschaft (Vermeiden, Verwerten, Verbrennen) werden zukünftig durch eine fünf-stufige Abfall-Hierarchie (Vermeiden, Wiederverwenden, stoffliche Verwertung, energetische Verwertung, Beseitigen) abgelöst.

DEVELOPMENT OF BIOLOGICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE PROVINCE OF TORINO
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Waste management in Province of Torino is going through a difficult period because of two main aspects: the start-up of the first incinerator, with a nominal capacity of 421000 tons/year, which will dispose of more than 35% of produced municipal solid waste (MSW), and the Regional directive which imposes that source separation have to reach the value of 50% at the start-up of the incinerator itself. The Provincial directive in force (Programma Provinciale di Gestione dei Rifiuti, PPGR2005) foresees also the realization of another incinerator with a nominal capacity of 274000 tons/year; when this plant will be realized, the sum of the separately collected waste destined to reuse and recycling, and the potentiality of the incinerators for power recovery will exceed the amount of produced waste; this will offer exhaustive guarantee for a satisfactory management notwithstanding eventual technical drawbacks.
COMPARING AND DISCUSSING THE LIFE CYCLE OF BIOPLASTICS – A FOCUS ON END OF LIFE
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Products with good environmental performance are an attractive proposition to consumers seeking to exert their purchasing power for environmental benefit. One way of enhancing a product’s environmental performance is through consideration of the packaging. Plastic is widely used as a packaging material, particularly in the fast moving consumer goods sector. This is because it is a versatile material with a range of characteristics (Box 1) which enable it to provide different packaging functions (containerisation, protection, preservation, handling and dosing, labelling and presentation). It is estimated that the overall use of plastics in Western Europe in 2004 was 43.5 million tonnes (APME, 2007) and consumption of plastics is expected to increase at a rate of about 5% each year (IBAW, 2007). The biggest single user of plastic in Western Europe is the packaging sector, accounting for 37% of total plastic (APME, 2007). (Session A15: LCA in waste management)
