1 Scope of the work. Introduction

1.1 Waste Management Sector Review (Executive summary)

With approx 21 mil inhabitants, Romania is the second largest market in Eastern

Europe and the 7th largest in the EU. Romania is also the EU member state with the

second lowest GDP per capita, 46% of the EU-27 average, but registered a strong

growth over the years preceding the economic crisis.

Benefiting from EU funds and government’s commitment, the waste management

sector in Romania is expected to develop at a high pace in the coming years. As part

of its EU commitments, Romania has to meet some ambitious targets related to

waste management – for instance, to increase the percentage of population served

by sanitation companies to 84% by 2013 and to 100% by 2017 (up from 54% in

2009) – to build approx 40 sanitary landfills and to implement integrated waste

management systems within 33 counties, to close approx 100 landfills which are not

compliant and to increase the waste recovery and recycling to 60% and 55%

respectively by 2012, against the targets of 2007 which were of 34% and 28%

respectively. The latest available data show that in 2008 less than 10% of municipal

waste was recovered, one of the reasons being the limited selective collection, of

only 4%. The Romanian market for waste management equipment is therefore

expected to offer interesting business opportunities across sectors and technologies.

Approximately 1 bln EUR, EU co-funded resources, have been allocated for the

implementation of the integrated waste management systems at county level for the

period 2007 - 2013 and, according to industry experts, an estimated 300 mln EUR

will be invested over the period 2014 - 2019. Until 2013 the waste management

programs will be financed through Sectorial Operation Program (SOP Environment),

under priority axis 2.1 ”Development of integrated waste management and waste

management infrastructure expansion”.

The total market for waste management equipment and technology was

conservatively estimated to 50 mln EUR in 2008. After the slowdown during 2009 -

2010, the market is expected to pick up in 2011 and to further increase at about 80

mln EUR around 2017.

Waste collection

The main categories of waste collection equipment produced locally are: containers

and euro-containers, mobile compactors and collection vehicle bodies. The

equipment is of relatively good quality, but is rather limited in terms of complexity

and diversity. However it is available for prices that are, in average, lower with 20 -

30% compared to imported equipment. Among the local producers of such

equipment can be mentioned: Consat Beius, Euro Body (part of Cefin Group), Avaco,

Electromec SA, Adarco Invest. Significant part of equipment supply (from Italy,

Germany, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Turkey etc) is provided by importers /

distributors. Among importer distributor companies can be mentioned: Gradinariu

Import Export, Euriteh, Cefin Group.

As regarding the demand, briefly, it can be pointed that waste collection should

improve considerably in case of municipal waste. Selective collection and

construction of sanitary landfills represent some of the important priorities until

2017, therefore demand for waste collection equipment (vehicles, bins, containers,

compaction vehicles, transfer stations etc) is expected to increase significantly over

the coming period. A conservative estimation for the period 2011 - 2013, indicates

that the total demand would exceed 30,000 units for containers, 200 compaction

vehicles, and 70 transfer stations.

Waste processing (including recycling)

The way in which waste processing (including recycling) is organised in Romania is

presented in section 2.1.2. While the paper / cardboard and metal waste

management systems are the most developed, the glass recycling is problematic.

However, there are pressures to meet the recycling targets and a first step is

represented by planned investment in 2013 in approx 1,500 containers for selective

glass collection. Challenging recycling targets to be met are defined also for WEEE,

batteries, packaging materials, ELV used tyres, used oils, hazardous waste etc.

As regarding equipment supply, sorting stations represent an important component

of processing equipment supply. There are few local producers manufacturing waste

processing equipment and they are mainly offering solutions for sorting stations.

Can be mentioned: Adarco, Avaco, Tehnix, Ecologing, Dragonara 93. Most of the

supply is covered by imported equipment, market being dominated by German,

Italian and Austrian companies, but imports are made even from Taiwan and China,

like baling equipment and incinerator plant. Scandinavian companies are also

present. Among most important importers and distributors can be mentioned:

Schuster, Ropeco, Iridex, Euriteh, Romedio, Lampero, Dragonara 93, EKO Linea,

Usitall AB.

Waste disposal and related processes

Sanitary waste disposal is the segment of waste management that requires the

highest investment and the most urgent actions. As regarding incineration the

situation is as follows: a) for municipal waste, the process is quite limited as it is

only now that investment is made for building up the first municipal incinerator in

Romania (in Bucharest) and there is interest in building some other incinerators in

major cities such as Brasov b) for hazardous waste co-incineration is the most

common process. Industry experts predict a high potential for this segment for the

coming years. According to the current legislation, all sanitary landfills must have

biogas recovery systems, but, so far, there are very few that are operational in

Romania. IRIDEX is one of the most important companies that have made significant

investment in biogas recovery systems. Presently there are not special incentives

offered to stimulate the investment in producing and further use the compost,

reducing accordingly the biodegradable waste. The situation is expected to improve

in the next years when, according to EU commitments, Romania is expected to

reduce the landfilled biodegradable waste and production of local compost is

expected to increase.

The research has identified very few local companies providing specialised

equipment such as: Ecologing, Meson Composting Bacau. Foreign equipment is

coming mainly from Germany, Italy, France, some Dutch technology suppliers have

been identified as well.

Significant demand is expected for: geo-synthetic materials, sensors, biogas caption

and recovery systems, composting areas (shredders, conveyor belts etc), MBT

(mechanical biological treatment) equipment (front loaders, turning machines etc),

leachate treatment systems, shredding and compacting equipment, recycling

facilities (for packaging waste material as glass, plastics, wood and batteries). As

regarding incineration equipment, investment in treatment facilities for hazardous

waste is expected to be relatively high, particularly in the treatment of PCB & PCT

waste and batteries. More details are available in chapter 2.1.3.2.

By 2017 Romania has to build the basis of a modern waste management system,

therefore significant investment will be allocated to selective collection, sorting

stations and landfills including composting stations. After 2017 it is expected that

the demand for more advanced waste management technologies and solutions will

increase significantly, such as incinerators for municipal waste, biogas recovery

systems, technology for recycling ELV (end of life vehicle), packaging waste,

construction and demolition waste, batteries etc. Some key information /

of 72

conclusions on most promising products, trends on demand, as well as on main

categories of buyers, are presented in chapter 3.1.

Among the key success factors that a Dutch supplier should consider when entering

on the local market can be considered: improve market awareness / knowledge of

the Dutch equipment and technologies through adequate marketing and promotional

tools, offer complete solutions including attractive financial solutions and technical

assistance support, develop partnerships with local partners or long-term co-

operations with ”well known contractors”, in order to have a better access and

higher chances of success for participating in and winning important tenders. More

recommendations are presented in chapter 4.1.

So far, the Romanian market for waste management equipment was price sensitive;

however the attitudes to quality are expected to improve, since the increasing

regulatory pressure is requiring more efficient waste management technologies. The

industry experts met during the research foresee a good demand potential for Dutch

equipment and technologies perceived as being high standards and reliable solutions

for waste management sector.

1.2 Target Research and analysis

Background

The aim of the current research is to improve access to relevant information for

Dutch companies (equipment, technology and consulting suppliers) interested in the

Romanian waste management market and, accordingly, to strengthen their position

on the local waste collection and processing market.

There have been investigated three main sub - sectors: waste collection, waste

processing (including recycling) and related processes (waste disposal, landfill gas

recovery and incineration). Key specific areas of interest covered by the research

are:

• How is the waste management sector organised and what are the main

developments, including data about the following aspects: the market supply

of equipment (quantity and quality); the demand of

equipment/technology/inputs; the key players

• Which are the opportunities on the Romanian market: the most demanded

products, the main buyers and their purchasing policies. Key success

conditions for Dutch companies to gain success, available EU Funding in the

area of the three sub-sectors

• Supplement: recommendations for new market entrants; list of useful

contacts; list of relevant tenders

Methodology

The research was conducted during the period November 2010 – January 2011. It

was based both on desk research (local business data base; internet directories and

relevant sites, publications, reports and Larive data base) as well as on primary data

collection including:

• 10 face to face interviews with industry experts, key players from waste

management sector (representatives of relevant authorities, of waste

management operators, of relevant organizations and consulting companies)

• 5 face to face interviews with importers and / or local producers of

equipment

• 7 telephone interviews with representatives from County Councils -

Department of Acquisition from the following counties: Vrancea, Giurgiu,

Arad, Sibiu, Mures, Covasna, Bistrita-Nasaud, for identifying the future

relevant tenders (supply and TA contacts) in the area of waste management

• 25 questionnaires sent to companies that are users/buyers of equipment

followed, in some cases, by telephones discussion with reps of this

companies( especially due to the fact that the rate of response to

questionnaires was of only 40% - reasons mentioned for non responding

were mainly related to confidentiality)

of 72

All key contacts are listed in Annex 7.

The present Waste Management Market report aims to strengthen the position of

Dutch companies on the Romanian market by offering insights on: the supply and

demand for equipment, the key players of the market (out of which some of them

could become potential local partners for Dutch companies for increasing their

success chances on local market), the existing opportunities and challenges as well

as on the available EU funds that are important financing sources for projects in the

next years.

2 Structure of the Romanian Waste Management

2.1 Waste management sector brief overview: legislation, strategy, authorities,

organisation

Country overview

With 21,482,395 inhabitants (latest data available from 2009), Romania is the

second largest country in the Eastern Europe, after Poland, and the 7th largest in the

EU, which makes it a potentially interesting market for waste management

solutions. The population has been declining from a maximum of 23,207,000 in

1990 and is forecasted to reach 21,087,159 in 2013, mainly due to a lower birth

rate and intensified emigration, especially after the EU accession in 2007.

Approx 37% of the population lives in dense urban areas (more than 50,000

inhabitants) and, at a total surface of 237,500 km2, the population density is of

approx 90 inhabitants per km2. This relatively low population density, combined with

the fact that 48% of the population lives in rural areas (the proportion is expected to

slightly increase) and the relatively poor road infrastructure, makes waste collection

and transport, particularly of domestic waste, rather challenging.

Romania is organized in 41 counties, with 265 municipalities and cities, and is

divided in 8 regions – 40 counties are grouped in 7 regions, while Bucharest and the

surrounding county of Ilfov represent the 8-th region. This administrative

organisation is relevant for regional development strategies; the plans for the

implementation of national waste management strategy are also developed at

regional level, while the implementation is the responsibility of the county councils

and municipalities.

Romania is the EU member state with the second lowest GDP per capita which,

according to Eurostat, in 2009 represented 46% of the EU - 27 average in

Purchasing Power Standards (PPS) and reached approx € 8,800. The reduced

purchasing power has reflected also in a low level of taxes and fees which can be

supported by the population and by the companies for waste management services,

with direct impact on the profitability of such services. Not surprisingly, the

Romanian market is relatively price sensitive also when it comes to waste

management equipment. That is why the recycling technologies introduced in

Romania from ’90s are low - tech, resulting in small added value on the obtained

materials and / or secondary raw materials.

Legislation & Strategy

In the preparation for the accession to the EU in 2007, the Romanian legislation has

been aligned to the EU legislation on waste management and is currently being

implemented. The National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS) was developed by

the Ministry of Environment and Water Management (MEWM) for the period 2003 -

2013, followed by the elaboration of the National Waste Management Plan (NWMP),

based on the European and national legislation; the National Waste Management

Plan is revised every 5 years.

For the implementation in 8 development regions of the National Waste Management

Plan, Regional Waste Management Plans (RWMP) have been issued, with a view to

develop and implement an integrated waste management system, economically and

ecologically efficient. Targets to comply with National and EU objectives and

including projections for the necessary investment in equipment and facilities have

been set up in the RWMP.

The waste management legislation in Romania is in line with the acquis

communautaire. In the process of negotiating the access to EU, Romania obtained

of 72

transition periods until 2017 for certain waste types, in order to comply with EU

Directives as follows: municipal landfills - transition period until 2017, temporary

storage of hazardous industrial waste - 2009; industrial waste landfills - transition

periods until 2013. Between 2011 and 2013, 75 non - compliant landfills are still to

be closed. In accordance with the Accession Treaty, Romania needs to ensure the

gradual reduction of waste stored in the 101 municipal landfills which do not comply,

by capping the maximum quantities stored annually as follows:

• by end 2010: max. 2 900 000 t;

• by end 2011: max. 2 740 000 t;

• by end 2012: max. 2 460 000 t;

• by end 2013: max. 2 200 000 t.

According to Directive 1999 / 31 / EC and Government Decision 162 / 2002,

Romania must reduce the quantity of biodegradable municipal waste deposited

annually, as compared with 2001 (in weight), to 50% till 2010 and to 35% till 2017.

Other periods of transition have been obtained for some targets in the field of

packaging waste by 2013, aimed at significantly reducing the amount of waste to be

stored.

The Romanian legislation is currently in the process of being revised in the light of

the second European framework directive on waste 2008 / 98 / EC and it is expected

to be finalised by2011. The horizontal legislation, the National Strategy for Waste

Management, the National and Regional Plans for Waste Management will also be

revised to extend beyond 2013, mainly with a view to improve recycling and to

reposition the obligations of the stakeholders so that the waste management

becomes more economically efficient. BAT (Best Available Technologies) guides are

also expected to be drafted, which will more likely help to raise the demand for

higher quality equipment on this currently price sensitive market.

Authorities

The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is the key player with responsibilities for

policy and legislation in the field of environment, including waste management

component. Other authorities and organisations in the sector are: the National

Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA), the National Regulatory Authority for

Municipal Services (NRAMS), and the National Guard for Environment. NEPA is

involved in the strategic planning for environmental protection and implementation

of the legislation and is responsible with authorising, monitoring and reporting

related to the economic activities with an impact on the environment. NRAMS is

mainly responsible with regulation and authorising the sanitation services, while the

National Guard for Environment has responsibilities in the law enforcement and

control. All these authorities are represented at regional and local level. The

Environment Fund Authority (EFA) collects to the fund for environment the

environment taxes and fines and is managing the environment fund by co-financing

specific environmental projects. Local Public Authorities (LPA’s) are important

stakeholders in the waste management sector, being responsible for drafting local

strategies and investment plans. In the context of EU programmes available for

waste management sector, the LPA’s (through the County Councils) are the

applicants and the beneficiaries of the large scale programmes implemented at

regional level. The LPA’s are encouraged to establish partnerships / associations

named Intercommunity Development Associations (IDA), for running and

implementing the integrated management systems programs.

Waste management systems

Municipal waste‘s collection, transport and disposal is the obligation of the local

public administration, either under own management or outsourced to operators

(see details in chapter 2.1.1). Recycling is not so well developed and is under

responsibility of private operators. Latest NEPA data show that in 2008 around 7.37

million tons of municipal waste have been collected, out of which less than 10%

have been recovered. Considering also the fact that in 2008 only 54% of total

population was served by sanitation companies for waste collection, Romania is

of 72

considerably far from the EU standards in terms of municipal waste generation,

collection and recovery.

As for the industrial waste, according to the ”polluter pays” principle, the

responsibilities for waste management activities are assigned to the waste

generators, which have the obligation to organise the management of production

waste by using their own means or by contracting specialised operators.

According to the latest data released by the NEPA, in 2007 the total quantity of

generated industrial waste was 19 million tons, out of which 18.5 million tons have

been recovered, with the metallurgical industry, food industry and the chemical /

petrochemical industry among the top generators of waste. Out of the total waste,

349,000 tons represented hazardous waste, with 148,500 tons being disposed of,

mainly by incineration.

Under these circumstances and following the commitments made during the EU

accession negotiations, the National Waste Management Strategy and the National

and Regional Waste Management Plans have defined specific targets to be achieved

on waste collection, transport, treatment, recovery and disposal, targets which are

detailed under the relevant sections of this report.

2.2 Waste collection

The waste collection is mainly organised as following:

Role of local public administration

Organising the collection, transport and disposal of municipal waste is the obligation

of the local public administration, under own management or outsourced to

sanitation operators. However, the collection service is mainly privatised. Local

authorities and producers associations, e.g. Eco-Rom Ambalaje S.A. (especially for

selective collection of packaging waste) undertake supporting activities, including

placing recycle bins or communal collectors and locations for: paper / cardboard,

PET and plastics, metals, aluminium cans, textiles, glass, setting up collection areas

for household hazardous waste, batteries / accumulators, bulky home waste, ELV,

WEEE, used tyres, etc.

Sanitation services operators

There are currently approx 400 authorised operators for sanitation services,

out of which approx 50 are more active, while top 10 hold more than 80% of the

market for sanitation services, including pre - collection, collection, transport,

depositing and the management of the sorting and transfer stations. The market is

in a process of consolidation by mergers, market exits, take - overs, while some

companies have been closed down.

The waste collection market is dominated by Romanian companies and there is no

major national player; the specialised companies have a presence at regional and, in

most cases, local level and among the most important are Comprest, Romprest,

REBU, and Urban. Foreign investment in the sector have been limited, but several

Austrian companies have entered the market for sanitation services and

management of sorting and transfer stations: Brantner Group (with presence in

several cities: Piatra Neamt, Cluj Napoca, Turnu Severin, Sibiu), ASA Abfall Service

AG (in the Arad region), AVE Group (in the counties of Bihor, Cluj, Harghita, Salaj).

Selective collection operators

The market for selective waste collection services is even more fragmented. More

than 1,000 companies have been licensed nationally for the collection of

packaging waste, 320 for collecting WEEE, 88 for used oils. Paper and metal

waste collection and recycling are well established in Romania, with thousands of

collectors and a large network of processing companies. Even for PET collection and

of 72

recycling there are some important facilities. In order to improve collection, buy -

back schemes have been implemented for WEEE, but due to mixed results such

schemes have been discontinued. Also limited results has the National Campaign for

the collection of WEEE, known as ”The Great Disposal”, launched in 2007 by the

Ministry of Environment and repeated periodically at regional level with the aim to

collect the WEEE from the population with the involvement of the sanitation

companies. The WEEE buy - back schemes and “The Great Disposal” campaign have

been launched in a period of strong economic growth for Romania, when consumer

confidence was high and banks were keen on expanding consumer credit and the

incentive for the consumers to replace their old home appliances was high. However,

once the economic conditions have deteriorated and access to credit was severely

restricted, WEEE collection diminished considerably.

Industrial and hazardous waste

Networks of separate collection and transport services for industrial waste,

infectious and hazardous waste, used oil, used tyres, PCB & PCT waste have been

set up, as well as separate collection for used batteries and accumulators. The

companies providing collection services for these types of wastes are either large

sanitation companies such as Urban or SSB (Servicii Salubritate Bucuresti), part

of the Iridex group, one of the largest local players in the waste management, or

companies specialised in the collection, treatment and transport for final

disposal in incinerators or cement kilns, such as RoEcologic.

In the ELV recovery, by the end of 2007, a national collection network for the

ELV was established; latest available data show that in Jan 2011, 319 companies

were authorised for the collection and treatment of the ELV, while the three cement

producers Lafarge Ciment, Holcim Romania and Carpatcement Holding were

authorised for the incineration of ELV waste.

A system through which the last owner of a vehicle can hand it over to a collecting /

recovery unit was also established in 2007. The program implemented by the

Environmental Fund Authority and called RABLA is particularly successful. In 2010,

the target of 190,000 ELV to be removed has been narrowly achieved, and more

than 53,000 new cars have been acquired, out of which more than 23,000 locally

produced. According to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in 2011 the

program RABLA is expected to continue with similar positive results.

In the sludge collection and treatment Romania has made little progress. Latest

available data show that in 2008 approximately 125,000 t of sludge in dried matter

has been generated from the municipal waste waters; most of it has been dried and

then disposed off in landfills and only 353 t of sludge provided by the animal

breeding sector has been used in agriculture.

2.2.1 Market supply of waste collection equipment (locally produced)

Waste collection is one of the sectors where the Romanian equipment manufacturers

are quite present. The main categories of waste collection equipment produced

locally are: containers and euro - containers, mobile compactors and collection

vehicle bodies.

Among the main local producers can be mentioned Consat Beius and Euro Body

which are manufacturing waste collection vehicles bodies. Others, such as Avaco and

Electromec Campulung, but also Consat Beius, are manufacturing containers,

offering a relatively broad product portfolio for the Romanian market. Electromec is

also providing mobile compactors. Another important Romanian manufacturing

company, active in the waste management sector, Adarco Invest, provides mobile

compactors and skip hoists and hook lifts of a high quality for the Romanian and

regional market. Medias Industries, a joint venture including the Dutch company

Geesink Norba, part of US Oshhkosh Corporation, is a company that until 2 - 3 years

ago was one of the major local producers of collection vehicle bodies but has

of 72

restrained severely its activity lately. It seems that currently it is producing only

some components that are exported and assembled abroad.

The selected companies provide equipment of relatively good quality for this price

sensitive market, albeit in a rather limited diversity and for prices in average lower

by 20 - 30% compared to imported equipment. In 2008 the total market value for

the local production of equipment for waste collection was estimated to have

reached about 4 mln EUR; the value for 2009 and 2010 was significantly lower,

however the expectations are that in 2011 the local market will exceed the total

value of 2008.

2.2.2 Market demand of waste collection equipment; technology and

inputs

Market demand for collection services and accordingly of waste collection equipment

is substantially influenced by the national policies in the field of waste management

that should be implemented in the following years in order to fulfil the EU

requirements. Therefore some of the relevant trends at the national level with

considerable impact on demand are presented hereafter.

In order to comply with EU standards, waste collection has to improve considerably.

In the case of municipal waste, for instance (which is including household waste,

industrial and institutional waste, similar to household waste, commercial waste,

street waste, park and garden waste, sewage sludge from the purification of urban

waste water, construction and demolition waste) the percentage from the total

population benefiting of waste collection services represented only 54% in 2008

out of which 80% of these population is in the urban areas and only 22%

of the population is in the rural areas. According to the National Waste

Management Plan, the target for 2013 is that 84% of total population will be served

by sanitation companies, while by 2017, 100% of municipal waste is to be collected

– and separated, including separation of the hazardous waste. The demand for

waste collection equipment is therefore projected to increase significantly

over the coming period.

The selective waste collection from companies and institutions, which are

required by law to separate waste, is quite well organised and the collection system

is operated by either the waste generators or the recyclers, depending on

commercial arrangements. Selective waste collection from population is

proving particularly challenging, due to the difficulties in setting up the logistics

infrastructure, lack of education and the fact that in 2008, in average 50% of

household waste composition was biodegradable. The targets are to reduce the

quantity of landfilled biodegradable wastes with 35%4 until 2016, by recycling and

processing.

Latest available data (from 2008) show that only 4% of the household waste has

been selectively collected and recycled. In 2011, the selective collection from

population will become an even more important issue. The targets for valorisation

and recycling of the packaging waste are 19% higher than in 2010 and since 60% of

the packaging waste is produced by households, the target cannot be met without a

significant progress made in the selective collection.

For packaging waste there are targets per material according to Government

Decision 621 / 2005 which transpose the Packaging Waste Directive, but in 2011, to

improve the selective collection, Central Authorities established new specific targets

for Al (17%) and PET (42%). In order to improve collection, several private projects

for PET reverse vending systems have been announced.

The targets for separate collection and further development of the network for

household waste which have to be met in the coming years will expectedly reflect in

4 Compared to 1995

of 72

a significant demand for collection equipment, bins and containers. The

counties and municipalities have the responsibility to launch projects for

the construction of new collection and sorting centres for separately

collected waste fractions.

Waste collection is probably the most price sensitive sector within the waste

management. It is largely privatised and fragmented and due to reduced spending

power among population and low subsidies the collection tariffs are extremely low by

European standards. This is why lower quality equipment, imported or produced

internally, as well as second hand equipment, was preferred on the market so far.

However, once the economy picks up in 2011 and many EU - funded projects which

have been delayed in recent years will be implemented, the expectations are that

the market becomes more quality orientated.

The Regional Waste Management Plans, drafted for the period 2007 - 2013 and due

to be updated, have detailed the required additional collection equipment. The

information is considered by some industry experts as quite controversial, at least

for some regions. Further feasibility studies and studies of the population behaviour

with respect to waste collection are needed for an accurate estimate of the

investment needed. However, based on the Regional Waste Management Plans,

based on research inputs obtained from industry experts, from companies and

authorities and also considering the amount of investment which is forecasted for

2007 - 2010 compared to what was actually realised, some indications for the

potential market between 2011 and 2013 could be extracted. A conservative

estimation is that in the period 2011 - 2013, the total demand would exceed

30,000 units for containers, 200 compaction vehicles, and 70 transfer

stations.

An interesting opportunity can be represented by containers for selective glass

collection. The glass collection system is currently particularly underdeveloped and

in order to meet the collection targets approximately 1,500 special containers are

reportedly needed.

2.2.3 Key players in the waste collection equipment sector

This research has revealed that in the waste collection equipment sector the highest

demand is represented by:

a) Compaction vehicles, skip hoists and hook lifts, lorries and lorries with

trailers, and containers. These equipment are provided by companies such

as FARID (Italy) - represented in Romania by Cefin Group, BMC (Turkey),

HYVA (Netherlands), ATRIK (Slovenia) - represented in Romania by Euriteh

b) Bins, containers and press containers are provided mainly by Romanian

producers such as AVACO, Adarco Invest, Electromec Campulung, Medias

Industries, or imported from neighbouring countries, Hungary or Greece.

A list of the key players including importers / distributors of equipment as well as of

the key local producers is presented in Annex no. 2.

Moreover, profiles of some of the key players in the waste collection equipment

sector such as: Gradinariu Import Exports (importer and distributor of waste

collection equipment), CEFIN GROUP (representative for some important producers

of waste collection vehicles or structures for vehicles, such as IVECO or FARID),

Electromec (local producer of containers) and IRIDEX PLAST (local producer and

distributor of containers and bins) are presented in Annex no 3.

2.3 Waste processing (including recycling)

The waste recycling is rather a new concept in Romania and it is still quite far from

European standards. The environment protection issues are of relatively low concern

of 72

for most of the population and there is little awareness of the long term impact that

individual actions have on the quality of environment. With the exception of paper /

cardboard and metal recycling, which have a long tradition in Romania,

institutionalised recycling of other materials is relatively recent.

During the process of EU accession and after the accession on 1 Jan 2007, Romania

had to achieve a certain percentage of packaging waste recovery and recycling

targets, starting from 15% and 12% respectively in 2004, to 34% and 28%

respectively in 2007 and will reach 60% and 55% respectively in 2012.

The paper / cardboard and metal waste management systems are the most

developed. For metal waste, there are over 2,000 authorised collectors and more

than 250 processing companies, located throughout the country. The metal is partly

exported, but mostly provided to the six large steel mills and other 27 smaller

companies. Aluminium is processed at Alro Slatina, copper in the smelter in Baia

Mare.

For paper / cardboard, there are thousands of collectors, hundreds of processing

companies and 7 large recycling companies also with collection capacity, most

important being Vrancart, ECOPAPER, and AMBRO SUCEAVA.. Paper / cardboard are

by far the municipal waste type with the most efficient recovery and recycling

system. In 2008 less than 10% of the collected municipal waste was recovered,

out of which paper / cardboard represented 57%.

Glass recycling, from packaging but also from ELV and production activities, is

particularly problematic. In 2007 only 1.8% of the total waste was recovered despite

the fact that more than 200 companies have a license for glass collection. Among

the factors which contribute to such a low recycling rate for glass is the fact that

there is little capacity for processing and recycling – there is only one large glass

manufacturer in Romania, Stirom, which has limited processing capacity, 20 - 25%

of the total necessary quantity. There were timid attempts to find other uses for

recycled glass, for instance using it in road constructions, but there is not yet a

significant demand.

Another issue that has an impact on glass collection is that the financial incentive for

glass collection is small and transport is expensive particularly due to the large

distances and rather poor road infrastructure in Romania. Despite the difficulties in

collection and processing, it is expected that the pressure to meet recycling targets

will force local authorities and operators to find better waste management solutions

for glass. As a first step, by 2013 investment is forecasted in approx 1,500

containers for selective glass collection.

Specific actions have also taken place in order to implement separate collection and

recovery of special waste fractions and further waste processing and recycling.

These include packaging materials, ELV, WEEE, used tyres, used oil, hazardous

waste, green waste and construction and demolition waste. For all these types of

waste Romania has European challenging recycling targets to meet.

In order to achieve the waste recovery and recycling targets assigned to them,

according to the ”polluter pays” principle, the companies generating waste have the

option to sign a Responsibility Takeover Contract with specialised operators which

take over the obligations pertaining to the economic operators to organise an

integrated waste management.

Currently, there are five associations taking over the responsibilities of the

companies generating packaging waste, most important being EcoRom Ambalaje

and Ecologic 3R, six operators for WEEE, with ECOTIC and Environ being the most

important and Eco Anvelope for used tyres. There are no associations yet taking

over the waste management responsibilities for batteries and ELV, but significant

progress has been made regarding the specific legislation.

of 72

As part of their responsibilities, the companies taking over the recovery / recycling

activities are required to undertake specific actions to support an integrated waste

management system, from raising awareness and education to investing in selective

collection infrastructure. Thanks to their close contact with a large number of

companies (both waste generators and companies in waste management) and also

with the relevant authorities, these associations, especially the large ones mentioned

above, are quite influential on the local market.

In the packaging waste management, EcoRom Ambalaje has implemented in

Romania the Green Dot system for the integrated management of packaging

waste, which certifies to the consumer that the producer/importer of the packaged

products pays a financial contribution for the recovery and recycling of the

packages. In 2007, the company launched a National Selective Waste Collection

Programme, investing in collection containers which are offered for free to

municipalities. Thanks to this program, starting with 2009 over 3 million inhabitants

from 73 Romanian localities have access to the selective waste collection

infrastructure.

In the WEEE, the Green Tax symbols introduced by Environ or the Green Stamp

of ECOTIC are informative of the contribution paid by users to cover the collection

and recycling processes. As in the packaging waste management, in the WEEE

management these operators are required to invest in education, collection

infrastructure and other supporting activities. For instance ECOTIC has invested in

over 400 containers for WEEE collection.

The market for waste recycling is quite fragmented, but unlike in the waste

collection and sanitation services there are several large operators and significant

foreign investment has been made in advanced recycling technology.

There are approx 150 companies in packaging waste recycling, the large majority in

PET and plastics, approx 40 companies are authorised for WEEE processing, three

companies authorised for accumulators processing, out of which the most important

is RomBAT. In the ELV waste management, 300 companies are licensed for

collection services and vehicle dismantling and 40 for recycling, mainly of plastics,

metal waste and accumulators.

There are no truly national operators, but some of the largest recycling companies,

such as Remat Holding, Romrecycling, Remat Brasov, Remat Invest etc, are present

in several counties. These companies are providing separated waste collection

services and recycling for packaging, metal ferrous and non - ferrous, WEEE and

ELV. Romanian - German owned Remat Holding had a turnover of € 100 mil in 2009

and its German investor Scholz is also an investor in Remat Invest, Condor

Recycling and other operators, while also operating under own name with Scholz

Romania.

In the WEEE recycling, most important operators are GreenWEEE, Gremlin, and

Stena DTM, while GreenLamp and RecoLamp are specialised in the recycling of

light sources. GreeWEEE and GreenLamp, together with GreenFiber (specialised in

the PET recycling and the production of PET fibre and PET strapping) and

GreenTech (plastics recycling) are Buzau based companies, part of the largest

investment to date in recycling.

An amount of € 10 mil has been invested only in GreenWEEE. This company, having

a WEEE processing and recycling capacity of 50,000 to, is the largest WEEE

recycling company in Romania (it covers a significant proportion of the required

capacity at the national level, the total national target for WEEE being 80,000 to).

Thanks to its latest technologies GreenWEEE is one of the most advanced WEEE

recycling facilities in this part of Europe. GreenWEEE is, for instance, the only

company in Romania which can recycle all 10 WEEE types, including the liquid waste

from refrigerators. The future of GreeWEEE is, however, quite uncertain, since the

of 72

total national collection of WEEE represents about one third of the company’s

processing capacity.

In the used tyres domain recycling ECORUBBER RECYCLING has recently opened

a recycling facility in Fundulea (close to Bucharest), with a recycling capacity of

24,000 to and a production capacity of 16,000 to of crumbed rubber pavers

products. While EcoAnvelope, which is collecting most of the tyres in Romania (an

estimated 30,000 to), is sending them to cement kilns for co-incineration, Ecorubber

Recycling is importing the used tyres from Western Europe.

The integrated waste management for auto accumulators is well established, but for

other types of batteries little has been made in terms of collection and recycling.

2.3.1 Market supply of waste processing equipment (locally produced)

Sorting plants represent an important component of the supply of waste

processing equipment and all integrated waste management projects are including

sorting stations at county and municipal level as well (for a population of at least

200,000), due to the very low degree of separation at collection.

There are few Romanian companies active in the manufacturing of waste processing

equipment and they are mainly offering solutions for sorting stations. These

companies are: Adarco, AVACO, Tehnix, Ecologing, and Dragonara 93. They are

engineering companies, manufacturing conveyors and integrating in the final sorting

station solution specific components which are almost exclusively imported such as:

baling presses, waste bag openers, magnetic and air jet separators, perforators,

shredders etc. The only companies manufacturing other elements than conveyors

are: Adarco (manufacturing sizing drums) and Dragonara 93 (manufacturing small

presses for paper / cardboard, PET and plastics).

Tehnix is a company which origins from Croatia, which has opened a local

manufacturing facility in Bacau and is specialised in low capacity sorting stations.

The company had won several projects thanks to its very aggressive pricing (their

solutions were 30 - 40% cheaper than German technology based solutions, for

instance), but feedback from the research has shown that the quality is not so high.

The company is, so far, quite successful on the local market which is price sensitive.

Adarco is a company considered as being the most technologically advanced in the

sector. Well respected engineering and design company, Adarco has been involved

in a long list of projects of integrated waste management systems around the

country, providing high quality technology and integration services. Adarco is

including in its solutions reliable technologies, mostly German equipment and is

present not only on the Romanian market but also in the neighbouring countries and

Germany as well. Adarco is also manufacturing and exporting high quality sizing

drums. The company offers sorting plants, conveyors, mobile compactors, sizing

drums and other waste processing equipment.

According to industry experts’ estimations, the local production for waste processing

equipment exceeded 6 mil in 2008; heavily affected by the economic crisis, the local

production is expected to pick up again in 2011.

An important part of supply of equipment for waste processing and recycling is

provided by importers and distributors including: recycling plants, compacting

stations, baling presses, sorting stations, shredders and many others. An inventory

of types of imported equipment for processing and recycling available on the market

is presented in Annex 2.

2.3.2 Market demand of waste processing equipment; technology and

inputs

Market demand for processing equipment is and will be in the next period

substantially influenced by the trends of national policies in the field of processing

and recycling of waste, in order to fulfil the EU requirements.

During the preparations for the EU accession and following the accession in 2007,

Romania had to meet a series of ambitious targets for packaging waste

recycling. If in 2004 the targets were of 15% recovery and 12% recycling, in 2007

they reached 34% and 28% respectively, while by 2013 these targets become 60%

and 55% respectively. In order to keep up with the requirements, the local

authorities and the operators have to invest considerably in the selective

waste collection network and waste processing / recycling capacity.

By 31 Dec. 2010, Romania was expected to reach the target of 7% recovery of the

household wastes, in the context of increased waste collection rate which is

scheduled to reach by 2013 84% of total population. The target for biodegradable

waste until end 2010 was to be reduced with 25%, and is planned to be reduced

with 50% until 2013, and with 65% until 2016, compared to the levels of 2006. With

regard to the recovery and recycling of the batteries and accumulators, 50% of the

weight (without electrolyte) was planned to be recovered, by 2010. However, due to

little progress made in this respect, it is expected that the reporting will show that

this target has not been met

Thus, the demand for sorting stations was significant after 2007 and it

remains still an important area of interest for authorities and for recycling

companies in the next years.

Given the fact that waste collection is still largely non - selective, the integrated

waste management systems implemented after 2007 by counties and municipalities

include, most of the times, sorting stations which dispatch materials to recycling

companies. The demand for sorting stations is also high from recycling companies

interested in processing waste from the sanitation companies, or from landfills

operators willing to go up the value chain by waste valorisation.

Further demand for sorting stations is expected to come from the local authorities

with a view to meet some other recovery and recycling targets. For instance, the

total quantity of dumped waste had to be reduced by 15% until 31 Dec 2010, while

the quantity of biodegradable waste had to be reduced by 25% until 2010, from the

level of 2007, by recycling and processing. The targets for recycling for 2013 and

2016 go up to 50%, 65% respectively.

By 2020 the energy recovery target of about 10% of the municipal waste has to

be met. There is yet no incinerator for municipal waste, one of the reasons being

that currently the waste is humid and improper for energy recovery due to its low

calorific value. According to industry experts these targets cannot be met without a

dramatically improved selective collection and a significant number of sorting

stations distributed around the country.

Regarding the demand in metal recycling, there is sufficient collection and

recycling capacity to meet the targets for 2011 - 2012 of 50%; however the targets

by type of waste will prove more difficult to be reached for aluminium: 17% in 2011

and 20% in 2012, due to collection issues. Initiatives of the operators in the

packaging waste management are expected to improve collection, in particular from

population, while the forecasted increasing number of sorting stations will also help

in reaching this target. In metal recycling, further investment is expected in

equipment such as: large crushers, shredders, magnetic separators and in

aluminium tins recycling, particularly in presses.

of 72

For paper and cardboard, the target of 60% recycling is met every year. A large

part of the investment in recycling equipment in Romania was represented by

shredders and baling presses for paper recycling.

Glass recycling, from packaging but also from ELV and production activities, is

particularly problematic in Romania. The glass recycling targets are of 54% in 2011

and of 60% in 2012, but in 2007 only 1.8% was recovered. It is estimated that by

2012 50 – 60,000 to more glass needs to be recycled, but capacity is currently

lacking, therefore the potential demand is significant. Out of the 80,000 to national

target, the only large glass manufacturer Stirom is processing only 20 - 25%.

Glass recycling is a problem for ELV and WEEE as well. GreenWEEE has announced

plans to invest in recycling capacity for glass from WEEE, while for ELV investment is

required in the coming years due to increased recycling targets. Increased

demand for glass recycling equipment is expected, especially for optical

glass separators and treatment of the glass from vehicles.

For ELV, starting with 2007, the targets to be met by Romania were 80% recycling

of the mass for vehicles manufactured after 1 January 1980 (recovery of at least

85%), while for the vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1980 the targets were

of 70% and 75% respectively. After 1 January 2015, these targets become 85% and

95% respectively.

Until now the targets have been met thanks to the significant investment made by

large recycling companies such as Remat Holding, Remat Scholtz, Remat Invest,

Romrecycling, with some of them investing in quite advanced technology. Remat

Holding for instance has the only post-shredder for ELV in Romania, provided by

Scholtz AG and sand - flow metal separator.

Due to the increase in recycling targets since 2015, further investment is

expected in this sector, particularly in post - shredders. Moreover, in the

coming years, the type, structure and technologies of the ELV to be recycled are

going to change significantly from the cars of ’80 which are currently recycled, most

of them of Romanian make. New equipment and technologies will be required,

including for the recycling of the auto catalysts and significant investment

is expected in post-shredders, separators, recycling for tyres and glass.

As regarding the WEEE recycling, significant investment has taken place in

recent years, particularly by GreenWEEE in Buzau and Gremlin in Constanta. The

total recycling capacity at national level just covers the recycling targets (80,000 to

/ year, approx 4 kg / inhabitant), but the collection remains a major issue and less

than one quarter of the target is collected each year and the existing companies

specialised in WEEE recycling are currently struggling with profitability issues.

A more geographically distributed model for WEEE recycling seems to work better,

with the large recycling companies, with a good regional coverage, interested in

expanding their WEEE recycling capacities. However, these companies will not find it

profitable to invest in recycling all types of WEEE, therefore recycling for

refrigerators and light sources for instance is expected to remain a problem.

For the used batteries and accumulators separate collection had to be set up as

of 2006 and the target for recycling is of 50% of the weight, excluding electrolyte.

The system is in place and working for auto accumulators and a reverse vending

system is in place, with several companies, especially RomBat, investing significantly

in recycling and large companies in ELV recycling mentioning increased interest in

processing this type of waste.

For other types of batteries and accumulators this activity is quite underdeveloped,

there are no recycling companies and the selective collection network is incipient.

The small quantities of batteries currently collected are exported for recycling. After

of 72

2012, the recycling of portable accumulators will become an issue – the target will

be of 25%. Interesting market opportunities might be found in this area,

provided that the collection can support the recycling activity.

In plastics and PET recycling, the targets of 22.5% recycling (global) until 2010

have been met. From 2011 these targets are broken down by type of waste, with

the targets for PET going up to 42% in 2011 and 55% in 2012. PET recycling is

therefore a hot topic and many operators have mentioned plans to further

invest in PET collection and recycling capacity. Therefore there is significant

potential demand of recycling equipment in this area.

Recycling is probably the most profitable sector in waste management in Romania,

and has attracted significant investment in recent years. Research has shown

that considerable investment is expected in the coming years as well, in

pretty much all types of equipment: sorting stations, conveyor belts, waste

bag openers, magnetic separators, perforators, shredders, granulators, tyre

dismantlers, automatic sorting of various recyclables, non-metal materials

separator, air jet separators, ballistic separators, sizing drums, baling press

for paper, plastics, metals etc.

The Romanian market for waste sorting and recycling equipment is quite high price

sensitive, therefore cheaper technology of lower quality (from Tehnix and / or

imports from Turkey and China, or second hand equipment) have a significant

market share, although there are companies such as GreenWEEE, Remat Holding or

Adarco investing in advanced technologies.

However, the profitability of waste recycling activity in general is improving and the

need for more reliable technologies will become apparent after some of the solutions

which have been recently implemented will have worked for a while. These factors,

combined with the fact that the Ministry for Environment will publish Best Available

Technologies guides, will expectedly have a positive impact on the demand for

solutions of a higher quality.

2.3.3 Key players on the in the waste processing equipment sector

The market for waste processing equipment (mainly sorting and recycling

equipment) is dominated by German, Italian and Austrian companies, but also

Scandinavian companies have a good presence. Among key players the following

foreign companies, which are selling their products through local importing and

distributing companies, can be mentioned: Mewa Recycling (DE), Strautmann

Umweltehnik (DE), Muetek Systemtechnic (DE), Heger Recycling Systeme (DE),

Kampwerth Presto (DE), Mercodor (DE), ABBA Pressen (DE), Erdwich (DE), Stadler

(DE), Welger (DE), Avermann (DE), ICS CONTEC (DE), Wagner (AT), Werner &

Weber (AT), Austropressen (AT), Caravaggi (IT), Macpresse (IT), Ecostar (IT),

Satrind (IT), Coparm (IT), Bramidan (DK), RUNI (DK), Orwak (SE), Tomra (NO),

Menart (BE), Macfab (IE).

Some of these companies have local offices in Romania, but there is also a well

established network of importers and distributors, some of the most important

being: Schuster, Ropeco, Iridex, Euriteh, Romedio, Lampero, Dragonara 93, and

EKO Linea.

The list of importers, distributors and local producers of equipment for waste

processing and recycling, as well as their contact details is presented in Annex 2.

Moreover, the profiles of some important key players, supplier of equipment for

waste processing and recycling, such as Adarco Invest, Ropeco, Schuster are

presented in the Annex 4.

2.4 Waste disposal and related processes

In Romania Sanitary waste disposal is the segment of the waste management

sector which currently requires the highest investment and most urgent actions. The

progress in this sector was quite slow. Thus, the first sanitary landfill in Romania

was established in 1998 and at the moment of the accession to the EU in 2007, only

8 sanitary landfills were operational.

It should be mentioned that, as part of its obligations after the accession to the EU,

Romania has to close by 2017 all landfills and dumpsites which are not compliant

(approx 100 sites still to be closed) and to build about 50 municipal sanitary landfills

with an average capacity of until 100,000 to / yr and other approx 15 landfills with

an average capacity of 50,000 to / yr. Out of the total sanitary landfills required,

only 26 are currently operational¹ and approx 40 others are to be built until 2017.

In most cases, the sanitary landfills are owned by the local authorities and they are

operated by private companies. However there are several privately owned landfills

such as Iridex in Chiajna, Costinesti, and Ploiesti, Veolia in Boldesti Scaieni, Tracon

in Braila, Constanta, and Sibiu, Fin-Eco in Brasov etc. According to the National

Strategy for Waste Management, wherever available, privately owned sanitary

landfills must be included within the integrated waste management systems.

With the exception of one company, Veolia, having one single site in Boldesti

Scaieni, there are not yet any other multinational companies present on the market.

The main reason is the low dumping fee of approx 10 EUR / to and therefore the low

profitability for this kind of activities. Industry experts consider that the fees are

expected to rise significantly in the coming years and it is expected that large

multinational companies will enter the market.

Progress has been made with regard to the sanitary landfills for the municipal

waste, but there are very few sanitary landfills for construction and

demolition waste and industrial waste. Companies such as Ecomaster, Iridex,

and Vivani Salubritate have invested in landfills for industrial waste, but the demand

for further disposal capacity is high and expected to grow over the coming period,

due to the stronger enforcement of the waste management regulations. The highest

deficit is currently in demolition and construction waste, which is still mainly illegally

dumped.

Incineration / co - incineration

Landfill disposal is most common for municipal waste in Romania as there is no

incinerator yet – the incineration is currently considered too expensive for this

market. The plans for the integrated waste management system within the Region

8, Bucharest and the surrounding Ilfov County, are including the building of the

first municipal waste incinerator in Romania in the coming years, while there

is interest in building an incinerator in Brasov as well.

Incineration and co - incineration are, on the other hand, most common for

the disposal of hazardous waste and industry experts consider that the existing

capacity is sufficient for the time being and significant investment is not expected in

the coming years in this type of incineration.

There are 10 companies authorised to incinerate hazardous industrial

waste, out of which most important are Iridex, Eco Fire, Mondeco and Pro Air Clean,

while 7 more companies are in the process of being licensed for this activity and

nine companies are authorised for incineration / co - incineration of own waste, in

particular companies in the pharmaceutical chemical industry. For the medical

waste, there are 7 incinerators of clinical waste, among which can be mentioned

Stericare and Eco Serv.

¹ This is the latest information according to NEPA – from direct interview

of 72

Co - incineration is also well established, all cement kilns have already invested in

specific technology and are authorised for the co - incineration of a wide range of

wastes: used tyres, textiles, organic waste and liquids from ELV, other hazardous

waste etc. It is estimated that the co - incineration capacity and potential demand of

RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) at the cement kilns is ten times higher than the

quantities currently available, therefore there is incentive for the companies within

the sector to invest in the production of RDF and in selective collection.

Industrial hazardous waste is mainly eliminated by incineration / co - incineration

and there are a limited number of companies involved in the treatment of

hazardous waste, such as Setcar, Vivani Salubritate, Uni - Recycling, Apisorelia,

Ecovalor and Ecomaster. Industry experts are expecting significant investment in

facilities for the treatment of the hazardous waste, under the pressure of the current

legislation.

Biogas recovery systems

According to the current legislation, all sanitary landfills must have biogas

recovery systems. All facilities built in the recent years and the ones planned as

well have biogas caption systems, but given the fact that most of the sanitary

landfills have been established after 2004 and that on a new landfill site the biogas

recovery is efficient only after several years of operation, currently no landfill has

yet a biogas recovery system.

The company Iridex is in an advanced stage to implement the first biogas

recovery station at its landfill in Chiajna, next to Bucharest. The system was

provided by the company HAASSE (Germany). Iridex has obtained already the

licence to connect and to provide electricity to the national network, while ASA

Servicii Ecologice has also announced a plan to install a system for biogas recovery

at the landfill in Arad.

Composting

The current legislation requires a composting station for each sanitary landfill and

the existing sites which lack a composting station will be upgraded. The sanitary

landfills in Iasi, Pitesti, Ramnicu Valcea for instance do not have a composting

station yet, but projects are underway for them be upgraded to include one.

Currently there is little incentive for producing compost, as there is not yet an

established distribution network, and the rather small local demand for compost is

met usually with imports. This situation is expected to improve in coming years

having in view that, according to EU commitments, Romania has the targets to

reach material or energetic recovery of 50% for the biodegradable wastes until 2013

and also reducing with 65% the quantity of landfilled biodegradable waste until

2016, and the production and local use of compost is expected to increase.

2.4.1 Market supply of related processing equipment (locally

produced)

Most Romanian companies active in the waste disposal and related processes are

involved in building and operating the facilities and research has identified few local

companies providing specialised equipment.

Ecologing from Bucharest is providing low capacity waste incineration systems, while

Meson Composting from Bacau is a local manufacturer of small bio - containers for

composting, for individual use.

2.4.2 Market demand of related processing equipment; technology and

inputs

Counties and Municipalities are responsible for the closing of existing non compliant

landfills, supervising the implementation of the integrated waste management

systems and for the long term planning for more advanced facilities (incinerators,

of 72

bio mechanical treatment, advanced composting etc). Therefore, for the next period,

there is a significant demand of related processing equipment & technology for

municipal and industrial waste.

According to the Regional Plans for Waste Management the integrated waste

management systems must include at each county level selective collection systems

(2 - 3 containers), transfer stations with / without sorting stations at municipal level

(for a population of approx 200,000), one large sorting station at county level, one

sanitary landfill for municipal and assimilated waste including a composting station,

one landfill for demolition and construction waste.

Sanitary landfills technology

An average of 25 - 30 mil EUR are allocated for each county for the establishment of

the integrated waste management system, out of which the largest proportion, 12 -

14 mil EUR are allocated exclusively for the building of the sanitary

landfills.

So far, only 7 counties have finalised the projects for the integrated waste

management, another 23 counties have the documentation ready and are expected

to start the project implementation by 2013, while the remaining 11 counties are

expected to start the process after 2014, when the next financing period starts. Until

2017, 34 counties have therefore to build approx 45 sanitary landfills and during this

period significant demand is expected for geo - synthetic materials, sensors,

biogas caption and recovery systems, composting areas (shredders,

conveyor belts etc), MBT (mechanical biological treatment) equipment

(front loaders, turning machines etc), leachate treatment systems,

shredding and compacting equipment.

Request of equipment from landfill operators

According to the National Plans for Waste Management, the integrated waste

management systems must include at least one sorting station at county level.

Currently there are 33 counties which still have to implement their plans for waste

management, therefore the demand for sorting stations is expected to remain high

until 2017, when the integrated waste management systems are expected to be

finalised.

Further demand for sorting stations is expected to come from landfills operators.

One major factor impacting the profitability of operating a landfill is that, due to

reduced spending power of the population and low subventions, currently the

dumping fee is low by European standards, of 10 - 12 EUR / to. However, in several

years, most of the non - compliant sites will be closed, the average income will most

likely increase and therefore the expectations are that the dumping fee will increase

considerably, to 20 or even 25 EUR / to.

For most landfills operators the incentive is high to try to limit the quantity of the

waste dumped at their sites in the coming years, waiting for the higher medium and

long term profits. The owners / operators of sanitary landfills are therefore likely to

invest in technology in order to optimise the use of the facilities and improve long

term profitability, particularly in sorting stations.

Incineration

Incinerators for municipal waste are also expected to be in high demand in the

coming years. By 2020, Romania has to meet the target of energy recovery of 10%

of the municipal waste and on the long term it is expected that significant

investment will take place in such incinerators.

The efficient operation of these incinerators is dependent upon the supply of

municipal waste of the required quality. However, currently the composition of the

municipal waste is not suitable for incineration as the humid waste is not collected

separately. Investment in incinerators requires therefore significant progress in the

of 72

selective collection of the humid waste and / or the construction of sufficient waste

sorting capacity.

Currently most of the hazardous waste is disposed of by incineration and according

to industry experts there is sufficient local capacity for the incineration of hazardous

waste. However, investment in treatment facilities for hazardous waste is

expected to be relatively high, particularly in the treatment of PCB & PCT

waste and batteries.

Biogas recovery

Biogas recovery is an incipient activity in Romania, mainly due to the fact that most

of the sanitary landfills are quite recent and the biogas recovery is efficient only

after 3 or 4 years from the start of the landfill. The first biogas recovery system is

currently implemented by Iridex at its landfill in Chiajna. In order to comply with

regulations, all sanitary landfills will need biogas recovery systems,

therefore the demand for such systems is expected to increase in the

coming couple of years and to become significant once all sanitary landfills

are finalised by the end of 2017.

2.4.3 Key players in the waste disposal and waste related processing

equipment sector

The key players in the equipment market for waste disposal and related processes

are mainly foreign companies which are represented directly, given the fact that the

demand is mostly project based.

The German and Italian companies are well represented on the local market.

Equipment provided by Entsorga Italy has been included within several projects for

composting plants and MBT treatment facilities, while the German company HAASSE

supplied the technology for the first biogas recovery system in Romania, which is to

be soon finalised by Iridex at the landfill in Chiajna.

In the incineration technology, apart from the local manufacturer Ecologing, several

foreign companies are providing solutions to the market, some of most relevant

being Master Burn (Ireland) supplying incinerators for medical waste distributed by

Multi Lab Romania, Wilhelm Romco, ATI Muller Incinerateurs (France) which has

provided the incinerator for the company Eco Fire, and Penram USA which has

supplied the incineration equipment for Iridex.

In the field of technological solutions for obtaining biogas from treatment of waste

from agriculture and / or from processing companies, there are several companies

on the local market - representatives of foreign suppliers of such technologies and

equipment - among which we can mention: Rota Guida Italy (represented in

Romania by R&C Arhitectural Engineering) or HOST BV (NL) - represented in

Romania by Aptech Group via its company Aplind Consult.

The list of importers, distributors and local producers of equipment for waste

disposal and waste related processes is presented in Annex 2. The profiles of some

companies active on this segment are available in Annex 5.

3 Opportunities on the Romanian market

3.1 Key issues for a successful market entry

3.1.1 Most promising products / future trends of the demand

As pointed out in this report, the integrated waste management system in Romania

is in an early stage of implementation. With the support of the EU, the country will

make significant progress until 2017 - 2020 and high demand for waste

management equipment and technology is expected across all the sectors, waste

collection, processing / recycling, disposal and related processes.

Selective collection and construction of sanitary landfills represent some of

the important priorities until 2017

Till 2017 most of the investment in waste management will be allocated to the

selective collection infrastructure and logistics and also to the construction of

sanitary landfills. By 2017 Romania has to build approx 40 sanitary landfills and to

implement integrated waste management systems within 33 counties. Demand for

containers, collection vehicles, sorting and transfer stations and related equipment

(shredders, presses, conveyors, etc), and also technology for sanitary landfills (geo-

synthetic materials, sensors, biogas caption systems) and composting stations, is

expected to peak around 2017.

After 2017, demand for more advanced technology is expected

After 2017, it is expected that the demand for more advanced waste management

technologies and solutions will increase significantly, such as incinerators for

municipal waste and biogas recovery systems.

Recycling area is another area with positive trend in equipment demand

The recycling sector is another area where, high demand for advanced technology is

expected especially for recycling packaging waste, ELV (particularly post-shredders,

separators), batteries, glass including glass from packaging waste and ELV, WEEE

and especially lamp recycling.

As a remark should be mentioned that several operators in the waste management

services, potential buyers of equipment, have mentioned that the ”recycling” and

”incineration” are perceived as areas with significant potential of development in the

future. Therefore, despite the fact that actually some of these companies were

active mainly in collecting of waste, they expressed their interest for extending their

range of activities in recycling and incineration and accordingly for acquisition of

specific equipment in those areas such as: sorting stations for recyclable wastes,

transport equipment for dangerous wastes, baling presses for paper and plastics,

magnetic separators, sizing drums etc.

Despite the fact that, so far, the market was highly price sensitive, in the

coming years it is expected to become more quality oriented, this trend

having a positive impact on more openness towards ”Dutch technology”,

which is perceived as being among the most performing and reliable.

The Romanian market for waste management equipment and technology is currently

quite price sensitive; some projects may include lower quality or second hand

equipment, although private companies active in recycling or operating landfills are

more likely to invest in advanced technology.

However, the market is expected to become more quality orientated, with increasing

pressure for efficiency in order to meet more and more demanding targets imposed

of 72

by the legislation. Another important factor, likely to raise the demand for higher

quality equipment, is the elaboration of the BAT guides (Best Available Technologies)

by the Ministry of Environment as part of the current update of the relevant

Romanian legislation, which is to be finalised by 2012.

3.1.2 Categories of buyers & their purchasing policy

a) Private companies (waste management operators)

An important category of buyers of equipment are the private operators active in the

waste management area (collection, recycling, processing etc). A list of major

companies representing potential buyers of equipment is presented in Annex 2. The

companies are acquiring the equipment either directly from a specific supplier

through a ”direct acquisition procedure”, when a specific technology is preferred,

or in other cases, private companies are using the ”three request of proposal”

procedure, allowing them to compare and select the best alternative solution

suitable for their specific needs. In this case, the selection of best offer is made

considering several criteria. Most of the private respondents interviewed have

mentioned that the quality, the reliability of technology and the warranty are

important factors in choosing an offer. Price remains also an important factor for

selecting a supplier.

Moreover, the research has revealed that some other important factors influencing

purchasing decision are: the capability of suppliers to offer a “complete solution”

including providing support for identification of financing alternatives, such as

operational leasing and the capability of the supplier to provide technical suppor ”in

time” (therefore a partnership with a local partner and / or existence of an own

branch / subsidiary are very important).

While the procedure for acquisition is run out by the ”department of acquisition” and

the evaluation of offers is made at this level, the final decision regarding the

selection of supplier is, in most cases, made by the administrators (board) of the

company and / or by General Manager, depending on the value of the investment.

In both cases (direct acquisition or selection of offers), the visibility of the supplier

on the local market and the awareness of its products and technology among local

customers remain an important factor to be considered by the suppliers if they want

to be directly approached and / or short listed and invited to make a proposal.

Therefore, Dutch companies interested to enter Romanian market should pay

sufficient attention to the promotion policy and to ensure a good visibility on the

local market, by participating to local fairs / exhibitions, by direct marketing

activities, by organising specific events (seminars / conferences for presenting their

technologies) or by being present in professional publications that are targeting their

specific segment of customers.

b) Administrative entities (local councils, county councils, ADI)

The administrative entities, especially the ”County Councils” (CC), represent an

important category of customers for equipment and consulting services suppliers in

the field of integrated waste management, given the fact that they are the main

beneficiaries of EU funded waste management projects. The CC is responsible for

organising the tenders, it will be the contracting entity and it will be responsible for

the payments. Moreover, the CC will be the owner of the infrastructure developed by

the project and also it will co - finance the project. Given the importance and the

significant size of these EU projects, the CCs represent an important client category

for the Dutch suppliers of equipment and consulting services.

However, the Dutch suppliers should be aware that the process of contracting and of

implementation for this type of projects is complicated, lengthy and involve several

risks. The purchasing procedure should comply with EU funding regulations and the

following steps should be followed: approval of EU application, elaborations of

of 72

technical specifications and of ”tender documentation”, organisation of the public

tenders, contracting the equipment or TA supplier. The procedures are thus quite

complicated, involve many phases (each phase normally has a specific duration that

should be respected), contracting authorities should follow the general procurement

legislation and procedures. In practice, in many cases the whole process, until

contracting, is suffering delays (usually, evaluation process is significantly longer

than officially announced in the Applicant Guide) and even after contracting, the

implementation process itself is also not always “smooth”, as the applicants should

pre - finance the projects from their own sources and only after the completion of a

predefined phase the reimbursement of the spent amounts can be claimed from the

financing authorities. In many situations the reimbursement also takes a long time,

therefore financial blockage of the projects could appear. Other limitation that has to

be mentioned is related to the procedures for the Public tenders: these are

organised only after the applicant is signing the contract with financing authorities.

And on top of the above, even if published in SEAP and officially “available” for any

participant, many tenders have a predictable outcome (contractors recommended /

preferred by Local Authorities).

Another challenge to be overcome by Dutch participants is the “language aspect”: all

the tender dossiers, the offers as well as the applications and other documents

requested to be submitted for getting EU Funds should be prepared in Romanian,

therefore a Romanian partner (or local management) is recommended.

The good understanding by the supplier of the legal framework related to the

tendering process is another aspect that recommends the partnership with a local

counterpart for securing success.

Despite these difficulties, given the significant size of these EU funded projects, the

interest for participation in such tenders remains very high for suppliers of

equipment and consulting services. There are several aspects that Dutch supplier

should consider in order to increase their success chances when participating to

tendering process, among which we can point:

- Identifying projects in earlier stage It is recommended to interfere / be involved

informally in pre-feasibility / feasibility studies phase, when the technical

solution is designed. The procurement document cannot make reference to a

specific technology (as equality of chances principle should be respected) but

can refer to best available technology (BAT), encouraging in such a case the

high quality technological solutions to be preferred (this can create a competitive

advantage for Dutch suppliers of equipment / technologies).

- Setting up close contact and high degree of awareness at the level of LPA’s (local

public authorities). During the research, many respondents have mentioned that

Dutch technologies are perceived as being of high quality and reliability but, in

many cases, more expensive than the technologies provided by their main

competitors (local, German, Austrian, Italian, etc). In practice, price remains, in

many cases, an important criterion in selecting an offer. If the supplier and its

technologies are well known / well positioned at the level of LPA’s (as a result of

an efficient and continuos promoting policy), the supplier may persuade the

future buyer to decrease the importance of price as a selection criteria and

increase the importance of other criteria such as the quality of technology / the

technical support / the warranty. Thus, Dutch proposals could increase chance of

success in winning tenders.

- Secure the participation in public tenders by teaming up with local partners or

bigger contractors. The local counterparts may have significant added value

for the project (better understand specificity of the market, overcome the

bureaucracy, open more opportunities for collaborating with LPA’s, better

communicate with them, have the capabilities of providing a quick access to

maintenance and service and / or to solve different technical problems that can

appear during the implementation of the project). Another possibility for Dutch

suppliers is to develop good relations with big contractors, that usually are

successful in wining this kind of projects (they have good references, an

of 72

important project portfolio, financial capabilities, good connections at LPA’s

level) and afterwards they are subcontracting part of the project to other

suppliers.

During the research, some of the interviewed companies (importers of

equipment) have mentioned that they have developed over the time good

partnership with some important contractors, thus having access to important

public projects. Among the contractors mentioned as successful in the area of

integrated waste management projects the following companies have been more

frequently mentioned: Iridex, Alpine, Hidroconstructia.

- Local presence. There are different options to secure a local presence: joint

venture / partnership with a local counterpart (importer / distributer, contractor

etc.), subsidiary, daughter company etc.

Besides the EU funded projects, it should be mentioned that the Local Authorities

are acquiring equipment also for smaller projects that are financed from own

sources / budgets. However, given the financial constraints in such cases, the “price

factor” is the most important criteria in choosing an offer and quantities of

equipment acquired are limited.

c) Other companies

A significant category of buyers is represented by the companies which are taking

themselves the responsibility of their own waste management, such as large retail

and production companies, major producers of paper / cardboard waste and which

choose to manage their waste internally: Renault, Lisa Draxlmeier, Monte Banato,

Praktiker, Billa, Kaufland etc.

Despite the current economic crisis this category of companies is expanding and

their demand for equipment is expected to remain significant, particularly for baling

presses and shredders. Although part of these companies may choose to acquire the

equipment from their countries of origin, Germany or France for instance, according

to industry experts’ opinion the total value of the equipment sourced from the

Romanian importers exceeds 1 mln EUR a year.

Another category of potential clients is represented by the companies which choose

to incinerate their own waste, particularly companies in the chemical industry and in

pharmaceuticals. Over the coming period, significant demand is expected from these

companies for waste incinerators.

3.2 Available funding for the three sub-sectors researched

a) EU Funding

The Sectorial Operational Programme Environment (SOP) represents the main

framework for the key environmental projects (including waste integrated

management projects) that Romania will carry on in the next years (until 2013),

having the financial support of the European Union through the European Fund for

Regional Development (FEDR).

The projects related to the integrated waste management area will be financed

under the Priority axis 2 “The development of the integrated waste management

systems and the rehabilitation of the historically polluted sites”. The funds allocated

for this subject until 2013 is approximately EUR 1.2 billion, out of which EUR 1 billion

represents the EU grant. The Priority axis 2 is divided in several areas of

intervention, out of which ”Development of integrated waste management and waste

management infrastructure expansion” has a financing amount totaling EUR 991.5

million, of which approximately EUR 793 million is financed by the FEDR and

approximately EUR 198.5 million co - financing by the Romanian state budget.

of 72

The eligible applicants

The applicants for these projects are the Local authorities through the County

Councils (Consilii Judetene). It should be mentioned that the Local Authorities from

the areas covered by the project should associate within an Intercommunitary

Development Association (ADI) for the implementation and achievement of the

project results.

Period for submission of the projects

The financing line for Priority axis 2, which is relevant for this research, is open as of

May 2009 and allows submission of applications for EU funded projects until the

whole budget allocated will be consumed. It is expected that projects’ submission

will be completed by the end of 2011.

Type of financed projects

The EU financing scheme for this domain offers subsidies for projects which usually

cover extended regional areas, either urban or rural. The main purpose of the

financial scheme is to implement or complete the infrastructure for the integrated

waste management system, starting from collection and transport to final disposal

and / or recycling solution. There will be funded major projects, with values

exceeding EUR 25 million. Maximum funding of total eligible costs of a project is

98% (of which 80% are provided by FEDR and 18% are provided by the national

budget). Project beneficiaries which usually are the local authorities through the

District Councils must provide the remaining 2% and have to cover the expenditure

for the non - eligible costs.

According to SOP - Environment, the main objectives of the Priority Axis 2 - Area of

intervention “Development of integrated waste management and waste

management infrastructure expansion”, are as follows:

• Increase coverage of the population receiving municipal waste collection and

management services of appropriate quality and affordable tariffs

• Reduce the amount of waste deposited

• Increase the amount of waste recycled and recovered

• Establishment of efficient waste management structures

The operations to be developed under this key area of intervention will finance the

following indicative activities:

• Acquisition and installation of selective collection systems

• Construction of sorting, recycling and composting facilities

• Acquisition of waste transport vehicles

• Construction of municipal waste disposal facilities and transfer stations

• Recovery of gas from landfills, where appropriate

• Construction of adequate facilities for municipal hazardous waste (medical waste, electric and electronics waste, etc.) and other specific municipal waste streams (construction and demolition waste, etc.)

• Closure of non - compliant landfills

• Technical assistance for project preparation, management and supervision, publicity and awareness campaigns (on selective collection, sorting, recycling, composting), institutional governance improvement, tendering and selection of waste services operators.

Current status regarding submission / approvals of projects

In Romania, initially integrated waste management projects were developed with

financial support of ISPA programme (covering the first stage of the preparation of

the projects). These projects will continue with FEDR funding. So far, financing

contracts have been already signed for 10 projects covering the following counties:

of 72

Bistrita-Nasaud, Giurgiu, Vrancea, Arad, Sibiu, Mures, Covasna, Botosani, Neamt

and Salaj with a total approved budget of approximately EUR 300 million. The list of

the projects already approved is presented in Annex 1. The beneficiaries have

already organised or will organize tenders for technical assistance, construction

works and equipment supply.

For the other 28 Romanian counties, the funding applications are in the preparation

phase and / or under evaluation with a total investment over EUR 730 mil. The

following counties are in different stages of evaluation / preparation of a project² of

“Solid waste integrated management system “: Maramures, Harghita, Alba, Calarasi,

Cluj, Olt, Suceava, Vaslui, Caras Severin, Timis, Dolj, Arges, Bacau, Galati, Iasi,

Tulcea, Constanta, Braila, Ialomita, Buzau, Prahova, Bihor, Hunedoara, Mehedinti,

Gorj, Valcea, Brasov, Ilfov.

All these projects represent a good opportunity for Dutch investors

(suppliers of equipment and/or technical assistance or consulting services)

to participate in tenders and to provide their technologies and/or services

on the local market.

b) Other financing sources

National Fund for Environment

Numerous projects (small and medium size) with significant impact on the

environment are financed with grants offered by the Environment Fund

Administration (AFM), which is a public institution with legal personality,

subordinated to the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The National

Environment Fund is a financial - economic instrument for supporting

environmental project implementation in accordance with legal provisions on

environmental protection. The financial sources of the Fund are among others: the

taxes collected from issuing the environmental authorizations, taxes for natural

resources exploitation, taxes collected for usage of fuels / combustible with high

level of toxic elements or taxes for trading of dangerous substances with high

concentration of toxicity, taxes requested for performing activities that generate

acoustic pollution, other pollution taxes and other sources established by

Government.

The waste management projects, including hazardous waste management projects,

are among the categories of projects eligible for funding from the National

Environment Fund.

A significant part of these types of projects have already been approved in 2009 /

2010 and the tender process for equipment acquisition has already been organized.

More financial resources will be allocated in 2011, when new sessions for submission

of projects are expected. Dutch companies interested in the progress of these

projects and in updated information on new sessions for project submission can

access the address site: http://www.afm.ro (see path details below).

c) Source of data - site information

Dutch companies interested in information regarding the opportunities available

regarding different financing sources for environmental projects related to waste

management could use, inter alia, the following source of information (useful

internet addresses):

• For SOP Environment access the main page of the site at the following address:

http://www.fonduri-structurale.ro/, then press ”Programe operationale” from the left

menu, then ”Mediu” and chose Descarca POS Mediu (information available in

Romanian and English)

• For The Romanian Ministry of Environment access the main page at

http://www.mmediu.ro (information available in Romanian and in English)

² Situation as per official data available in January 2011

of 72

• For the National Agency for Environmental Protection access the main page at

http://www.anpm.ro (information available in Romanian)

• For the Environment Fund Administration (AFM) access the main page at

http://www.afm.ro, than press ”Proiecte” from the left menu, then in the submenu:

o ”Proiecte in curs de finantare” for the projects which are in the process

to be financed, or

o ”Proiecte aprobate de Comitetul de Avizare al AFM care vor fi finantate

prin Fondul pentru mediu” for projects which will be financed with funds

from the Environment Fund.

• For tenders initiated by public authorities / institutions (public procurement

contracts, public works concession contracts and service concession contracts)

access the main page of the Electronic System for Public Acquisitions (SEAP) at

http://www.e-licitatie.ro, then select English version.

www.e-licitatie.ro has two main sections: one for the procurement announcements,

and one for the registration of suppliers and contracting authorities.

In the first section, prior information notices, contract notices and award notices are

published. The description of the supplies, works or services tendered is based on

the CPV5 classification system.

Classification CPV - establishes a single classification system for public procurement

aimed at standardizing the references used by contracting authorities and entities to

describe the subject of procurement contracts. The CPV codes used in Romania are

consistent to the EU Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV)³.

Depending on the amount of the contract, different competitive procedures apply.

Contracts for:

• supply contracts over 125.000 Euro,

• works contracts over 4.845.000 Euro and

• service contracts over 125.000 Euro

need to be awarded via an open tender. Under these thresholds, contracts can be

awarded by restricted tenders, requests for quotation or direct acquisition based on

eCatalogue.

SEAP automatically publishes contract notices that exceed the EU threshold on

Tenders Electronic Daily (TED: http://ted.europa.eu) - the online version of the

'Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union', dedicated to European

public procurement.

The contracting authorities have the legal obligation to perform 40% of the bids

through the electronic System for Public Acquisitions (SEAP). Thus, in order for a

company to be able to participate at the electronic public acquisitions (and

consequently to sale products and services to public authorities), it must be listed in

the registration section of SEAP as an Economic Operator (Supplier). The registration

is done in several steps and includes on-line and offline information. After the

registration has been done, the Economic Operator receives a Digital Certificate /

Digital Signature.

Registration allows suppliers to be invited by contracting authorities to participate in

acquisition procedures and to present their products in an electronic catalogue

(eCatalogue). Registration is free of charge, a fee will however be raised if

exceeding 20 participations per month or 50 eCatalogue positions within 2 years

after registration. Once registered, the company can opt for receiving notifications

on tenders organized for a selection of CPV codes (basically the ones he indicated as

pertaining to his area of activity).

4 Supplement

4.1 Key success conditions & recommendations for Dutch investors

Improve market knowledge/awareness of the Dutch equipment and

technologies

Local Industry experts perceive the Dutch equipment and technologies in waste

management as being of high quality and reliability and most of them have a

relatively good knowledge of the Dutch expertise in the environmental technologies

in general.

However, the research revealed that there are still many private companies active in

the area of waste management that do not have an opinion on Dutch technology, or

they have insufficient information, or even they do not know anything about it.

Therefore a higher effort should be made in promoting and increasing awareness of

Dutch equipment and technologies on the local market, through adequate marketing

and promotion tools.

Dutch companies interested to enter the Romanian market should pay more

attention to build up and implement a well defined long term promotion policy aimed

at ensuring a good visibility on the local market, particularly by participation to local

fairs and exhibitions, by organising special events (seminars, conferences) and / or

by presence in relevant publications . In order to accomplish the above partnerships

with local counterparts is highly advisable.

The German, Austrian or Italian companies are perceived as being ”more present”

and more active on the local market than the Dutch companies, not only providing

waste management equipment and technology, but also as owners and operators of

waste collection, sorting and processing facilities and of landfills.

Flexibility of Price according to market conditions

Research has shown that the Dutch equipment is perceived as rather expensive not

only compared to the local technology, but also to other Western technologies such

as German or Austrian. Such a perception was mentioned by several industry

experts interviewed and one specific example has been indicated related to an

important project, when a solution for a sorting station based on Dutch technology

was 25% more expensive than the winning solution, implemented by the Romanian

company Adarco using a combination of Romanian and German technology.

In order to cut costs and be more competitive on the East European market, some

companies producing environmental equipment have opened manufacturing

capabilities within the targeted region: in Hungary (for instance Avermann), Poland

(the company MBT), while Tehnix Croatia has part of its production in Bacau,

Romania. Dutch companies may as well consider this option in order to become

more competitive price wise within the region.

The issue of the relatively high price of the Dutch technology, when compared to the

competing German or Austrian technologies, can also be addressed by more

efficiently communicating to the market the technical advantages of Dutch

technologies and by providing stronger support to customers.

Support the clients (consulting / technical assistance / financial solutions)

Opinions have been expressed that the German, Austrian or Italian companies show

more flexibility and are more willing to support their clients in environment products

/ technologies than the Dutch, UK or Finnish companies.

The current research has revealed that some important factors influencing

purchasing decision of customers are: the capability of suppliers to offer a ”complete

of 72

solution” including support for identification of financing alternatives (such as

operational leasing) and the capability of the supplier to provide ”in time” technical

support.

The Dutch suppliers may provide a consistent support to the local Clients if they set

up a presence on the local market, either by setting up a local office and / or by

developing a long term cooperation with a local partner and, in such a case, invest in

know - how transfer and partner support.

Develop partnerships (with local partners)

During the research some industry experts mentioned that, in some cases, the

Dutch companies that attempted to enter the Romanian market and tried to

participate, in partnership with local players, in different projects were too small

companies, with not sufficient production capacity and financial capabilities,

therefore there was a reluctance of local companies in starting long term co -

operation with this suppliers. In such cases, it is strongly advisable for Dutch

suppliers intending to participate in bigger projects to develop partnerships with well

known local partners and participate as part of a consortium to tenders. Another

option is to develop long term partnerships with “well known contractors” that are

usually winning the most important projects in the area of waste management and

afterward they sub-contract part of it. Such a policy is successfully practiced by

other foreign companies present on the local market.

A partnership with local companies is also recommended given the necessity to

identify projects in early stages that may allow involvement in the phases of

prefeasibility / feasibility studies and providing inputs to the technical solution while

it is drafted. A local partner in close contact with the local public authorities will

facilitate a higher level of awareness as regarding the Dutch offer.

As mentioned before, the capability of suppliers to offer a “complete solution”

including providing support for identification of financing alternatives and to provide

technical support “in time” are other reasons sustaining the importance of a

partnership with a local partner.
