Projection Models


Objectives

• Facilitate the advancement of waste management systems

within the Pilbara

• Prepare projections and interactive model of waste generation

and maximum available feedstocks for waste treatment

Waste Generators

Private Waste Service

Providers

Local Governments

PDC, Waste Authority, Talis


Workshop Discussion Points

• Standardised Data Capture and Reporting Systems

• Economic Recycling and Class IV Landfill

• Collaboration

• The Role of Local Government

• Educating Waste Generators

• Aggregating and Assembling Waste Streams

• Achieving Best Practice


Thank you to those who participated

Pilbara Waste

Priorities


Objectives

• Identify and assess Priorities that warrant further consideration by the PDC and potentially the Waste Authority

• Identify:

•Waste Materials:

• Peak waste streams; and

• Problematic;

•Waste Infrastructure

•Markets

Priorities Opportunities


Consultation

• Upfront data gathering from generators

• Workshop to present the findings of works to date

and verify priorities/opportunities

• Report to be released in the future


Industry Roundtable

• Consultation with Resource Companies held on 16

June 2014

• Discussed peak and problematic wastes

generated

• Discussed waste life cycles and constraints


Local Government Consultation

• Review of Census data

• Telephone interviews - ongoing

• Workshop today

• Verify data on peak waste streams and sense

check on problematic wastes


Priority Wastes – Local Government

• Refuse

• Mixed refuse from kerbside collections and drop off locations. Generated by

residents and commercial properties within the Local Government area

• Greenwaste

• Generated from clearing or pruning of flora

• Tyres

• Generated when tyres are replaced on vehicles. Currently stockpiled, possible

fire risk.

• Liquid Waste

• Raised as a priority waste, not included in scope of report


Priority Wastes – Iron Ore

• Old timber railway sleepers being replaced with concrete sleepers –

currently being stockpiled

• Rubbers (Conveyors/Tyres) – currently being landfilled on site

• Contaminated Soils (Hydrocarbon/Miscellaneous) – some

reuse/remediation, others disposed on in Perth

• Recyclables – town and mine

sites

• Construction Wastes


Priority Wastes – Oil and Gas

• Hazardous Materials

• Mercury Slurry

• Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORMs) – not in scope

• Oil contaminated solids (Drill Muds)

• Organic waste from offshore operations

• Construction Waste

• Operational Wastes – food waste, bulky items, recycling

Analysis of Waste Streams

• Gather and update data sets

• Life cycle assessment of peak and problematic wastes

• Analysed generation sources, collection systems, treatment methods

and markets

• Consideration given to complimentary processing across waste types

and processing already undertaken
