Past Policy Landfilling
Change of concept – solid waste as a raw material Hazards of continued landfilling: Air pollution and odor Greenhouse gas emissions Soil and groundwater contamination Consumption of scarce land resources Effects on public health Economic implications
Availability of landfills and treatment of solid waste up to 2030 Existing situation Percentage of solid Percentage of Percentage of solid waste with no landfilling הנמטהל תלוספ זוחא יללכ רוזחימ זוחא ו הנמטה ןורתפ אלל תלוספ זוחא/רוזחימ וא 120 waste for landfilling general recycling or recycling solution 100 80 60 40 20 0 2030 2029 2028 2027 2026 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 -20 Indications are that in the existing situation, the solid waste market will become saturated already in 2014, with no solution for 14% of the quantity of generated solid waste.

Current Policy Solid Waste Materials Management
Materials management – integrated treatment of solid waste Reduction in the quantity Reduction of solid waste generated Reuse Processing of solid waste into products, materials Recycling or raw materials Production of energy from solid waste or processing of Energy solid waste into materials used to produce energy Landfilling
The target: 50% recycling by 2020 Reducing the quantity of solid waste destined for landfilling by: SMM – Sustainable Materials Management Urban Mining
The key to the recycling revolution - Separation of solid waste into at least two streams 40% 60% Biodegradable Dry waste solid waste Packaging and other materials Leftover food and organic components Paper and Packaging cardboard Biodegradable solid waste as a clean solid waste stream that should be separated at source
For each stream – its own dedicated treatment Transfer station for Solid waste solid waste sorting recycling plant Dry stream Packaging and other materials Wet stream Biodegradable organic solid waste Transfer station for solid Biodegradable solid waste waste sorting treatment plant Composting facility Anaerobic plant 12
Separation at source – how does it work in the local authorities? Transportation of Recycling points Collection bins separated solid waste For each stream – its own dedicated treatment
Treatment of Biodegradable Solid Waste
