  1. Module 1 - Waste Strategy PlanningDr Darren Perrin

  2. Module Outline • The aim / learning outcome of this module is to “Develop a practical understanding of what a Waste Strategy is and some of the key concepts, stages and tools required to produce, deliver and review a waste strategy and plan for future infrastructure.” • What is a strategy and development stages • What support tools are available to support the process • Triangulated approach to waste and resource management • Key concepts of behaviour change

  3. Module 1 - Waste Strategy Planning -TriangulationDr Darren Perrin

  4. What is waste? • A disregarded material which varies in terms of: • Material composition e.g. Paper, glass, metal, .......... • Size • Shape • Density • Proportion of biomass • Embodied energy e.g. GCV, • Chemical composition e.g. ash, chlorine. • Ability to cause harm? • “One persons rubbish is another persons resource” • “If you can’t measure it, you can’t ,manage it”

  5. What is Strategic Waste Planning? • A process of defining a strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating resources to pursue this strategy, including capital and people. • The approach can be summarised as: • Vision: What/where do we want to be? • Strategy: What is the plan to get there? • Tactics: What are the specific actions we will take?

  6. Triangulated Approach?

  7. Policy and Drivers • Policy will drive or “force” change • Implemented through • Legislation • Economic Instruments • Voluntary Agreements

  8. Infrastructure • Consider implications of strategy and infrastructure needs • Different infrastructure and interactions • Collection • Treatment and Disposal • Alternate Waste Treatment (AWT) • AWT not the answer, but possibly part of a strategic solution Avoid AWT Minimise Recycle

  9. Infrastructure • Range of waste technologies available • Clean and Dirty MRF • MBT / BMT • MHT • Conventional Mass Burn Energy from Waste • Gasification • Pyrolois • Anaerobic Digestion / In-Vessel Composting • Need to: • Define the strategic purpose • Consider the economic viability • Consider the public perception

  10. INFRASTRUCTURE - Strategic purpose • Align with your current / future strategy Vision and Objectives? • Supports targets? • Relationship to existing infrastructure? • Affordability ? • Political acceptability / Community acceptance

  11. INFRASTRUCTURE - Strategic purpose • Reduce the mass and volume of waste? • Produce an end product: • Quality Compost ? • Recyclables ? • High end value recyclables ? • Pre-treat the waste to produce a feedstock for another process? • RDF ? • SRF ? • Generate and export power or heat? • Electricity? • Heat / Steam ? • Biogas ? • Synagas ? • Stabilise the waste prior to disposal to landfill? • Maximise the life of landfill assets?

  12. INFRASTRUCTURE – Economic viability Profit = Income ($) greater than Cost ($)

  13. Variable Costs • Staff Costs • Maintenance and repair costs • Utilities (Water, Gas, Electricity, Chemicals, Waste) • Other variable charges ?? • Affordability • Self Funded • PPP • ?

  14. Infrastructure – Public Perception Perception. “Members of the Dovesdale Action Group are opposed to the plan amid fears of "toxic" waste and roads congestion”. Dovesdale spokesman Stewart Weir said: "This is the first public protest we will have staged against Scotgen's proposals but there will be many more planned. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this demonstration may cause. But it will be nothing compared to the damage done to this area should this plant ever start operating, or should there ever be an incident involving one of the vehicles transporting this waste."

  15. Perception is everything…….. Or

  16. Behavioural • Engagement, information and education are central to the successful implementation of a strategy • Demonstrate to industry, commerce and the public the value and benefit of recycling i.e. why recycle? Or a AWT technology solution • Behavioural change a key factor in achieving desired outcome

  17. Behaviour Change • 3 complementary approaches • Change by: • Managing supply (providing infrastructure) • Managing demand (someone tells us to change) • Voluntary behaviour change (helping people to help themselves)

  18. The importance of Communication ? • Exercise – ‘Copy Me’ - 10 mins • Back to back - One way instruction – 4 mins • Back to back - Two way communication – 3 mins • Side by side - Work together – 2 mins

  19. The importance of Communication ? • Empowering people – making them feel that they can make a difference • Reduces opposition to new or different service • Can increase how many people use system and how well they use it • Uses local knowledge and expertise • Early identification of local issues/grievances • Two way communication

  20. Recycling Spectrum

  21. Possible Barriers to Recycling • Unsure of collection day and forget to put it out • Don’t understand which materials to recycle • Recycling bin too full • Different container returned • Have not got time • Storage • Lack of appreciation for recycling • Too difficult • Don’t want to clean things • Not my problem / lack of ownership

  22. Possible Motivators • Convenience • Financial Incentives • Being appreciated • Understand the benefits of recycling and composting • Contribution to environmental improvement • Peer pressure

  23. People at different stages of thought depending on subject: Pre-contemplation Contemplation • Ready for action • Action • Maintenance • Different approaches may be required for each step Values Knowledge Motivation Instruction Habit Reinforcement Changing Values and Habits Message Types

  24. Interactive Methods “Tell me, and I’ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I’ll understand.”

  25. Reliable Data • Waste data is the starting point for the development of appropriate strategies to deliver waste services and infrastructure • Informs performance and compliance monitoring / reporting • Reduces risk, increases certainty • Important to understand waste composition and waste generation rates • Has to be fit for purpose • “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”

  26. Module 1 - Waste Strategy Planning - ProcessDr Darren Perrin

  27. Impact to Opportunity Reducing Harm on Public Health and Environment Strategic Waste Planning Assess Operations Record Waste Generation and Destinations Identify Hazard and Assess Risk Waste Management Plan

  28. Key Points to Consider...... • Clear “Vision” • Data • Resources • Political Support • Partnerships and networks • Identification of Stakeholders & Consultation • Risk assessments • Drivers (cost, social, environmental, compliance) • Timing • Links to other plans

  29. Example Waste Strategy Structure

  30. Needs to “knit” together Define Vision Statement Identify key targets that will measure if this “Vision” is being achieved Identify themes which reflect the strategic purpose and direction Set objectives under each “theme”; the actions required to achieve the objective and KPI’s / targets that measure if the actions/objectives have been achieved

  31. Defining Themes

  32. Strategic framework SMART objectives

  33. Strategic framework

  34. Action PLAN

  35. Progress Reporting

  36. Where are We today ? • Population and demographic information • Current and planned waste and resource recovery collection and processing systems • Waste tonnage data, including: • historical waste trends and projections • key performance indicators • waste composition • Waste and resource recovery collection, processing and disposal contracts • Governance, policy and legislation • Stakeholders

  37. Tools - Understanding your context • SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats)

  38. Tools - Understanding your context

  39. Where DO we WANT TO GO? • Clear, consulted, strategic vision • Information, Data • Target setting • Gap analysis

  40. Tools – Understanding Aspiration • Organisation Spectrum • Exercise • In groups: • Where your organisation is ‘Now’ • 2 minutes • Where you think your organisation see itself / wants be in the future • 2 minutes Leadership and Innovation Good Practice Risk Management Compliance

  41. What DO WE NEED to Do? • Develop Options • Assess Options • Cost • Diversion • Environmental impact • Social • Score Options • Weighting • Relative Importance

  42. Other Points to Note in options Analysis • Condition of existing infrastructure and future life • Flexibility and compatibility of infrastructure options • Unintended consequences • Political context • Affordability • Alignment with existing operations • Availability of suitable sites • Approvals process • Timeframe from idea to operation can vary significantly • Waste Transfer Station 2-4 years • Landfill 7+ years • AWT 4-6 years can be 20+

  43. Process……. Options Assessment Implementation Stage Waste Strategy Define Vision Define Criteria Technology / Infrastructure Procurement process (EOI, PQQ, ISOS, ISDS etc) Understand solutions to meet criteria Baseline Review Targeting Setting Assess, infrastructure and behavioural change requirements required Behavioural change programmes Define Objectives and Priorities Action Planning Introduce systems
