Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Waste hierarchy The Directive 2008/98/EC on waste, trasposed into the italian legislative framework by the D. Lgs 205/2010, requires that EU Member States take appropriate measures in order to promote : Prevention: reduction of waste generation, of hazardous substances and negative impacts of wastes on human health and the environment; Preparing for re-use: control, cleaning, dissambly and reparation operations, by which products or components after becoming waste can be re-used without any additional pre-treatment; Recycling: any operation of recovery of waste by which to obtain products, materilas ore substances to be used for their original function or for other pourposes; Energy Recovery Disposal that is the last phase. Prevention Preparing for re-use Recycling Other kinds of recovery (like Energy Recovery) Disposal

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo The Office Integrated Waste Cycle of Province of Turin: -prepares and updates documents for waste management plans at provincial level, in accordance with the national and regional legislation in force; -promotes and coordinates actions and projects to implement the integrated waste management system in particular by promoting, financing and monitoring the implementation of local projects and the building up of plants, by the consortia, municipalities and other organizations; -carries out coordination and communication activities within the subject areas of expertise; -monitors the integrated waste cycle (generation, collection, recovery, disposal) and the effectiveness of provincial and other institutions policies, through the Provincial Observatory on Waste

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Planning the integrated waste cycle Analysis of the status quo - POW (Provincial Observatory on Waste) Definition of goals, policies and actions: PWMP (Provincial Waste Management Program) Continuous monitoring - POW (setting of choices)

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Provincial Observatory on Waste Law no. 93, 23 March 2001 "Provisions in the environmental field“, art. 10, paragraph 5 defines the creation of a network model of the National Observatory on Waste which must have headquarters to support the functions of monitoring, planning and control of the Observatory itself, the provinces must then establish, without additional burdens of public funds, within one hundred twenty days from the date of entry into force of the law, the provincial observatory on waste.

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Provincial Observatory on Waste The Regional Law n. 59/95 establishes the Regional Observatory on generation, disposal and reuse of waste. The Province of Turin Observatory on waste is envisaged in the first PWMP prepared by the Province of Turin (1998), with functions of monitoring and instrumental support to the implementation of the policies defined by the programming tool. The following programs will confirm and strengthen its functions.

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo The POW’ activities It monitors the status of the integrated cycle of municipal waste management system: production (trend monthly and annual consolidated data, disaggregated by type and municipality) collection (collection system used) quality (product analysis - IPLA) flows (origin, first and second destination, quialitative- quantitative data) treatment (installed capacity power, annual contributions)

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo The POW’ activities It monitors the status of the integrated cycle of municipal waste management system: disposal (authorized volumes, bi-annual transfers, annual residual volumes) supporting structures (localization and service offered by RDF) tariff of treatment/disposal (landfills and public treatment plans for organic waste) costs of services (tariff charged for collection, transport, selection, treatment, contributions to CONAI) agreements between institutions (Conai, consortia....)

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo The POW’ activities It monitors the status of implementation of the provisions of programming/planning tools: services (starting of integrated systems of SC) plants (construction phases of the new plants) policies (reduction, SC, prevention, )

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo The POW’ activities It monitors the status of implementation of the provisions of programming/planning tools: services (starting of integrated systems of SC) plants (construction phases of the new plants) policies (reduction, SC, prevention, ) It provides data and information to other agencies (ONR, ISPRA, region,...) and institutional bodies

All right ”. ……

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Main systems of separate collection of municipal waste Road: different materials are separately collected using bins placed on the road: there is no correlation between collection containers and user. It is often the precise placement of bins only for general waste Proximity: bins are placed on public ground, often the type of bins is complete: there is a close correlation between bin and user, in some cases the user is equipped with a system to open the bins.

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Main systems of separate collection of municipal waste Domestic: the different materials are separately collected using bins “ entrusted” directly to the user : there is maximum correlation between bin and user. Mixed: several systems for different materials are used In order to support different collection systems in the province of Turin, over the years 103 collection centers have been created. These are essential structures especially where the domestic system is implemented.

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo In the Province area all the collection systems have been adopted: To better adapt to different areas (metropolitan city, concentrated city, urban sprawl, rural areas, mountainous areas....) To make more effective the result - cost of service ratio because of non made choices ​​ (some municipalities, especially small size town and in mountain areas continue to have only a road type collection, sometimes incomplete) The first policies of modification of separate collection system started in 1998: In that year the road type collection occurred in all the municipalities, in some of them the separate collection as well (road type separate collection) In that year the separate collection in the provincial area was 12,3%

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Collection systems in the Province of Turin Nowadays, in about 270 municipalities (out of 316 of the whole province) a non-road waste collection system occurs (or is being activated). The 270 municipalities account for almost 70% of the population of the province of Turin. The city of Turin is only partially served by non-road systems of waste collection ( inhab. Approximately of , corresponding to the peripheral belt). In the provincial area 103 collection centers are also active. The percentage of recycling, thanks to the efforts of municipalities, Basin Consortia, waste management public companies and to the technical commitment and financial support of the Province of Turin, has now firmly reached 50%.

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Location of collection centers:

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Funding of projects: To achieve these results, the Province of Turin committed the ecotax (environmental tax due by municipalities for the landfill) in favour of municipalities and Consortia for: –the activation of innovative systems of separate collection (mostly domestic, but not only, and not as a forced choice), –the realization of part of the existing collection centers, –the shift from tax to tariff –other measures to improve the separate collection, building up of plants, reduction of generation of waste (including studies and researches, communication activities,....). There was a financial commitment of 30 million euro in almost 11 years. Grants have been given through 4 specific calls (2 for the collection system and 32for the collection centers). Other general interventions have been added (separate collection, infrastructure, projects of reduction,...).

Il Programma ENPI CBC Bacino del Mediterraneo Grants for the implementation of non road collection services : Call A portion (70%) of the extra cost (difference between the cost of the new collection system and the cost of the previuos year) was financed. 65 municipalities were financed with about € Call Fixed grant related to the inhabitant of the municipality: € 12 up to inh. € 10 between and inh. € 8 over inh. Financed (or in progress) 205 municipalities. Alrrady appointed €
