Me Methodology

USE DEMONSTRATION SITES

Carry out the transition to PAYT at Aveiro, Larnaka, Vrilissia, Condeixa and Lisbon

BENCHMARK PAYT TECHNOLOGIES

Use different strategies and technological approaches to link the waste producer to the amount of waste discarded GIVE ALTERNATIVES TO RESIDUAL WASTE DISPOSAL Reinforce the infrastructures and services of the collection of packaging waste & Promote home composting of

• rganic waste

PARTICIPATORY APPROACH

Explain PAYT benefits to population, getting feedback.

DESIGN WASTE TARIFF

Design fair and equitable waste tariff at each demonstration site, adapted to the socio-political context

PROVIDE SUPPORT TOOLS TO MUNICIPALITIES

Develop a web-based portal to support the technical implementation of PAYT tariffs at municipal level. The software will be freely available for other municipalities

REDUCE THE MUNICIPAL COSTS WITH WASTE

Expected reduction on the amounts of residual waste will translate into reduced cost for the

• municipality. Route optimization will be performed

using specific software, and this will add to the savings

SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The socioeconomic impacts of changing to PAYT tariffs will be measured and documented at each demonstration site

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATION

The environmental impact of changing to PAYT tariffs will be measured and documented at each demonstration site

CREATE A MUNICIPAL NETWORK ON PAYT

in Aveiro

ERSUC will install 7 additional recycling points at “Urbanização da Forca-Vouga”, as part of the Aveiro Municipality’s strategy to increase recycling in study area, doubling installed capacity. The recycling points will be in place by March 2018.

ECOBAGS

Aveiro Municipality will distribute 500 ecobags among the residents of “Urbanização da Forca- Vouga”, also as part of its strategy to increase recycling. These ecobags, offered by ERSUC, are to be used indoors for storing packaging waste, before taking it to drop-off recycling points in the street. The ecobags and a flyer promoting recycling and waste reduction measures will be handed in together with the access RFID card.

Homecomposting in Aveiro

After the new waste containers are in place, Aveiro Municipality will distribute 50 homecomposting kits among the residents of detached houses of “Urbanização da Forca- Vouga”, as part of its strategy to increase recycling (acquisition procedure in progress). These homecomposting kits include a 290 L composter (outside use, in the garden) and a small bucket with lid (to be used indoors, in the kitchen) for short-storing of organic waste. The homecomposting kits will be distributed during a training session about composting, to be carried out in March 2018

Indicators will be set up and used in order to evaluate the project environmental impact on the targeted problem. It is essential to establish a baseline and a default scenario, to clearly evaluate the current situation regarding municipal waste. The most adequate frequency to measure each indicator will be selected, and the methodology to collect and register required data will be defined. A Life Cycle assessment (LCA) of the project’s will be carried out to assess the environmental benefits emanating through the project’s implementation.

LC LCA st study

Waste characterizati tion ca campaigns

Waste characterization campaigns were performed in Aveiro and Condeixa, with the goal of knowing the amount generated and physical composition of residual MSW in both study areas at the starting point of LIFE PAYT project. Biowaste, 53% Textiles, 21% Paper, cardboard; 11% Plastics, 7% Glass, 3% Composites, 1% Metals, 1% Others (with fines), 4%

Composition of residual MSW in Condeixa from comerce and services

Waste characterization campaign in Condeixa

The campaign focused on residual (unsorted) waste from commercial sector: during 5 days a sample of MSW from selected commercial sites were weighted and classified

Biowaste, 60% Textiles, 10% Paper, cardboard; … Plastics, 6% Glass, 5% Composites, 1% Metals, 1% Others (with fines), 8% Composition of residual MSW produced at Aveiro demonstration site Annual estimates for the site:

• 289 kg/person of unsorted MSW
• 27.5 kg/person separately collected packaging waste

Waste characterizati tion campaign

in Aveiro

This campaign focused on residual MSW produced in Forca Vouga neighbourhood. During 4 days, the waste

• f all collective containers was collected for weighing

and the physical composition was analysed in each daily sample. Also, during the whole year, residual MSW will be weighted in selected days, which after comparison with historical data and statistical analysis will allow to accurately estimate waste generation in the area. A Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) was performed focusing on MSW management on project sites (as for now in Aveiro). Although the most common application of LCA in waste management is to serve as supporting tool for choosing between different treatment

• ptions, the objective in the scope of LIFE PAYT project is to assess at

which extent the diversion of residual waste towards the collection of recyclables can contribute to an improvement in environmental terms.

Life-cycle assessment

In the LCA process the first stage consists on the elaboration of a life-cycle inventory in which all the material and energy inputs and outputs to the studied system are specified (raw materials, emission of pollutants,…). In our case these data are referred to the MSW management in the project locations,

• btained from measurements and from reference databases.

After this, the environmental impacts derived from these inputs and outputs are calculated and organized in several impact categories.
