RETHINKING VALUE in WASTE BASE Cities Event Edgbaston, April 11 th 2013 Peter Jones OBE

The Three Musketeers of Policy Implementation

The Scale of Transformation- Organic Mass (m tes.) Landfill Collection (C+I) Municipal Recycling 1 16 Incineration 3 6 Compost 1 4 Exports - 1 AD 3 4 MRFs - 25 TOTAL

The Scale of Transformation- Carbon / Organics £m Landfill (Tax 1536) Collection Municipal Recycling Incineration Composting Exports - 40 AD MRFs TOTAL

The Reverse Logistics of Waste  Collection  Intermediate Quality Control  Material Transition  Product Sale

MARKET DRIVEN ECONOMICS 1.MAXIMISE ENERGETIC EFFICIENCY OF FEEDSTOCK CONVERSION 2. SELL OUTPUTS FOR THE HIGHEST VALUE per EMBEDDED GIGAJOULE 3. OPERATE WITH THE LOWEST CARBON FOOTPRINT FOR COLLECTION,PREPARATION AND TRANSITION (across the reverse logistics chain)

The Planning Route Map Define the energy sink That defines the energy need That defines the technology That defines the ‘fuel’ mix That defines the logistics That defines the collection discipline

The Co-Location Route Map  Food –freezing,preparation+retail  Diversified industrial estates  Hospitals  Prisons  Bus and truck complexes  Docks and Airports and Distribution  Data centres  Energy distribution pipes and wires  Confectionery factories  Sewage plants  Road fuel distribution depots  Industrial gases operations

Structural Shifts in the “waste” Sector New TECHNOLOGY entrants attracted by tax “push” gate fees. Shift from gate fees to output sales as capacity expands. Ripple out to wider “energy” markets Entry of end market players such as- DS Smith, Peel,Air Products, AMEC, Stobart, Supermarket logistics & parcels players.
