1. System for waste management
This project is funded by the European Union
Twinning Project INTRODUCTION OF A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE) IN UKRAINE
System for waste management
17 June 2016, Kiev, Ukraine

2. Twinning project purpose and objective
Project Purpose: to bring gradually the Ukrainian waste management system closer to EU by introducing effective and sustainable management systems
Indicators
Relevant Ukrainian legislation brought closer to the EU legislation
A strategy how to introduce a management system for WEEE and waste batteries
Support for WEEE and batteries recycling facilities to work in a sustainable manner

3. EU’s approach to waste management
Circular Economy package - comprehensive measures to improve the circular management of Europe’s materials
Turning waste into a resource - a key to a circular economy - one industry's waste becomes another's raw material
Clear targets and tools for better waste management
“Closing the loop" of product lifecycles through greater recycling and re-use
Benefits for both the environment and the economy
Earnings, jobs and innovation: the role of recycling in a green economy

4. Towards circular economy

5. Circular Economy
Both ferrous and non-ferrous metals sectors are very important to the EU’s economy, competitiveness and industrial development:
access to raw materials is crucial
valuable metals can be recycled from cars, buildings, packaging, e-waste, batteries, other
metals recycling saves up to 95% of the energy needed to manufacture new metals from primary sources
requirements to collect waste streams separately
increase the recyclability of products

6. Different potential for insertion into circular economy
Vehicles
ЕЕЕО
Batteries
Packaging
Construction materials
Furniture
Food
Textile
Bio-waste
Tyres
Oils

7. EU legislation
Framework Directive 2008/98/EC on Waste - including Art. 6 end-of-waste
European Waste List - Commission Decision 2000/532/EC) and Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC
Directives 2000/53/ЕО (End-of-Life Vehicles Directive
Directive 2012/19/EС WEEE
Directive 2006/66/ЕО on Batteries,
Packaging waste Directive 94/62/EC
Producer’s responsibility
Other EU issues:
Shipment of Waste
Extension of the scope of IPPC
Possible benefits from Eco-design legislation

8. Why used car, electrical equipment, batteries
Risks: Landfilling - heavy metals, brominated fire retardants, mercury, ozone-depleting Cl-F-CH substances Uncontrolled burning - dioxins and furans, toxic fumes of mercury and other heavy metals/hazardous substances Benefits: High content of ferrous and non ferrous metals, plastic, precious and rare earth metals example: gold in 100 kg mobile phones is equal to extraction of gold from the processing of 1 tone of gold ore
