Material Flow Control

Waste-transfer Form:

responsibility of waste producer/holder

kept for min 5 years

valid when signed by producer/holder and treater

with each shipment of hazard. waste

max 30 days after shipping non-hazardous waste

not necessary for municipal waste!

“contents”: producer, collector/treater, carrier type of waste, quantity, physical characteristics, type of packaging, site of origin, site of treating date and location of handing waste over from who to whom

ANNUAL REPORTING ON WASTE MANAGEMENT

reporting till 31.03. for last calendar year by: producer (>10 tons of non-haz. waste or/and >5 kgs of haz. waste) collector treater public waste service (municipal waste) operator of landfill

organized by Environmental Agency (EA) and Statistical Office (SO): cooperation since 2003:

• just one reporting per reporting unit• more economical data analyzing

problem: differences in quantities of waste produced/ collected/ treated between EA and SO (extrapolation of collected data to a 100% reporting response)

reporting forms send to reporting units and accessible on EA-web site (http://www.arso.gov.si/varstvo%20okolja/odpadki/obrazci/)

04/20/23 7

PRODUCER of Waste

obligation for reporting if: > 10 tons of non-hazardous waste or/and > 5 kgs of hazardous waste

reporting about: type of waste (EWC code), total quantity of waste produced (quantity from last year + stock from year before that) internal waste management:

• recovery• disposal• temporary storage

waste, handed over to others: • from Slovenia (to whom) • from EU/third countries

04/20/23 8

COLLECTOR of Waste

obligation for reporting, regardless of quantities collected

reporting about: type of waste (EWC code), total quantity of waste collected (quantity from last year from Slovenia and foreign countries + stock from year before that) management of waste collected:

• temporary storage• handed over to others (treaters, collectors!) in Slovenia• handed over to non-Slovenian companies (EU, third countries)

04/20/23 9

TREATER of Waste

obligation for reporting, regardless of treated quantities

reporting about: type of waste (EWC code), total quantity of waste collected (quantity from last year from Slovenia and foreign countries + stock from year before that) treating of waste:

• temporary storage• recovery (which R-code)• disposal (which D-code)• handed over to a collector (!)

04/20/23 10

PUBLIC WASTE SERVICE – municipal waste

obligation for reporting, regardless of collected quantities: just EWC subgroup 15 01 and group 20 (pre-printed forms)

if collection of other waste => extra permit and separate reporting

reporting about: total quantity of waste collected: quantity from households, industry, other public waste services if collecting in different municipalities: total quantity of waste collected in each municipality treating of waste:

• landfilling, hazardous waste landfill, temporary storage, export• handed over for disposal/recovery

(to which company)• handed over to a collector (which one)• handed over to a packaging waste scheme

04/20/23 11

OPERATOR OF LANDFILL

obligation for reporting, regardless of quantities

reporting about: type of waste (EWC code) total quantity of dumped waste: quantities collected by themselves (as public waste service), quantities taken over from other public waste services, quantities brought in directly by waste producers treating of waste:

• landfilling, storage• handed over for disposal/recovery: to which treater for which treating process (R/D code), export• for handed over to a collector (which one)• using waste for surface sealing of landfill• handed over to a packaging waste scheme

04/20/23 12

ANALYZING DATA

Statistical Office: processing of data collected (=> raw analyzed data) elimination of critical errors (checking each received report)

Environmental Agency: analyzing data, prepared by Statistical Office separate analysis of produced, collected and treated waste

“RESULTS”: public information different usage:

• Environmental Indicators

• supporting Environmental Ministry to prepare Operational Programs

• reporting to EU about managing different waste

Waste Management in 2001-2006(Source: http://kazalci.arso.gov.si )

Produced Waste (t)

Recovered Waste (t)

Disposed Waste (t)

2001 2.371.000 563.300 1.807.700

2002 4.462.100 2.528.800 1.933.200

2003 4.859.500 2.807.700 2.051.800

2004 5.900.400 3.563.000 1.473.600

2005 6.181.200 3.377.700 2.084.600

2006 6.224.500 3.564.400 2.103.900

CONCLUSIONS

excellent reporting response (100%) for public waste services (59 reporting units) and operators of landfills (67 reporting units)

app. 90% reporting response for waste producers (7443 reporting units), waste collectors (320 reporting units) and waste treaters (215 reporting units)

problems, connected to waste producers: avoidance of reporting obligation public institutions, trade companies, services providing companies, … => incorrect classification of waste as mixed municipal waste (EWC: 20 03 01) leads to loosing material flow
