Assessment of mbt terms of diverting organics from landfill in accordance with uk regulations
The Organic Resource Agency Ltd (ORA) is the UK partner in an independent European consultancy and engineering group specialising in sustainable waste management. ORA works in partnership with our colleagues from IGW in Germany, which allows us to combine the experience from both the UK and continental Europe in terms of the performance of recycling schemes combined with that of advanced waste treatment technology including mechanical and biological treatment (MBT), anaerobic digestion and in-vessel composting.
ORA are currently working on several projects where MBT has been selected as a major component of a County Council’s waste management strategy. In these situations MBT is the preferred technology to treat the residual waste as part of a wider strategy which includes waste minimisation, recycling and composting of source segregated materials. The function of MBT is typically to increase the diversion rate of BMW beyond that which can be achieved by source segregation of materials such as garden waste, kitchen waste, paper and card. The MBT delivers further diversion by the stabilisation of the waste which is sent to landfill in order to reduce its BMW content as determined using the Environment Agency Guidance (Environment Agency, 2005). Additional BMW diversion may also be achieved by the separation of the high calorific and less degradable fractions such as wood and card as refuse derived fuel or other recovery/recycling activities.

Aktueller Stand der Abfallwirtschaftsplanung in Polen

Die polnische kommunale Abfallwirtschaft nähert sich mit immer schnelleren Schritten einer ganzen Reihe von Fristen, die über die Erfüllung der von Polen im Beitrittsprozess eingegangenen Verpflichtungen und der Erfordernisse des EU-Rechts entscheiden. Zu den wichtigsten gehören die Reduzierung der Menge der biologisch abbaubaren Abfälle sowie die Schließung von Deponien, die den Rechtsanforderungen nicht gerecht werden.
Privatrechtlicher Rahmen für die Errichtung von Abfallbehandlungsanlagen

Der Bau von Großanlagen, wie beispielsweise Abfallbehandlungsanlagen, spielt sich häufig in einem internationalen Rahmen ab. Auftraggeber sind oftmals Staaten oder deren Untergliederungen bzw. staatliche oder gemischt wirtschaftliche Unternehmen. Die Bauarbeiten werden regelmäßig durch hochgradig spezialisierte Unternehmen durchgeführt, die international tätig werden. Planung, Projektsteuerung und Bauüberwachung obliegen ebenfalls spezialisierten Ingenieurbüros, die grenzüberschreitend agieren.
Contractual Framework for the Construction of Waste Treatment Plants
© Thomé-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (3/2010)
The construction of large-scale facilities such as waste treatment plants is often set in an international framework. Orders are frequently placed by states, their sub-divisions, public sector or mixed companies. Construction work is always performed by highly specialised firms active in an international environment. Planning, project control and site supervision are also handled by specialised engineering offices active across boundaries.
Climate Impacts of Municipal Solid Waste Management Scenarios for Athens, Greece
© Veranstaltergemeinschaft Bilitewski-Faulstich-Urban (3/2010)
Waste management activities and especially disposal of waste in landfills that generates methane (CH4) contribute to global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions approximately by 4% (Bogner et al, 2007). In Greece, the main method of solid waste management remains landfilling; apart from this, 22 Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) are in operation for source segregated recyclables, whereas 2 Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) plants processing residual Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) operate currently in Attica and in Chania (Crete), with 2 new MBT plants in Kefalonia and Herakleion (Crete again) are ready to operate within 2009 (Psomopoulos 2008; HSWMA, 2009).
