Title: Viewing Waste As A Resource


1
Viewing Waste As A Resource
  • Expert Meeting on Waste Management In SIDS
  • Havana, Cuba, October 2003

2
Challenges - National
  • Absence of an integrated approach to system
    development
  • Increase in waste volumes
  • Increase in the nature of post-consumer items
  • Changes in consumption habits
  • Limited land space for landfilling
  • Increasing cost of new technologies
  • Inappropriate application of non-modular
    technologies
  • End of the pipeline approach to solutions
  • Lack of sustainability of proposed systems

3
Challenges - International
  • Economic and environmental vulnerability
  • International trade implications
  • Market identification and sustainability
  • Absence of the required negotiating leverage to
    elicit appropriate regional and national benefits

4
Vision Statement
  • Creation of a comprehensive national and regional
    framework which would satisfy the requirements of
    product cycle management, and ensure that
    sustainable waste management systems adopt a
    utilization approach towards resource
    conservation.
  • Paradigm shift toward waste management
  • Utilization of waste as a resource rather than an
    item to be disposed
  • Different image and perspective on waste
    management that sometimes challenges imported and
    imposed state of the art technology

5
Objectives
  • Development integrated resource management
    systems.
  • Structuring of sustainable waste diversion
    strategies.
  • Facilitate research and development of indigenous
    appropriate technologies.
  • Rehabilitation of natural resource bases and
    systems
  • Building or rebuilding of natural and acquired
    resilience
  • Decentralisation of approaches to system
    management

Structure Sustainable Waste Diversion Strategies
  • Policy considerations
  • Command and control regulations
  • Economic incentives and disincentives
  • Education and technical assistance
  • Subsidization for sustainability
  • Close loop identification in product development
  • Programme and planning considerations
  • Information gathering and target specification
  • Market focus and technical specifications
  • Programme implementation
  • Operation and maintenance plans
  • Project development initiatives

9
Research and Development of Appropriate
Indigenous Technologies
  • Information management(documentation and
    dissemination)
  • Technology cooperation and exchange
  • Product(imported and developed) life cycle
    analysis
  • Partnerships with academic institutions and the
    industrial sector
  • Creation of demonstrative projects such as
    Technoparks and Biofarms.
  • Determine relevant project RD areas
  • Modular low cost biogas units with high methane
    yield
  • Vermicomposting systems for high quality organic
    fertiliser products
  • Production of nitrogen rich organo fertilisers
  • Use of water plants for biological treatment in
    ponds

10
Rehabilitation of Resource Bases and Sources
  • Natural resources
  • reefs,
  • ground and surface water replenishment,
  • landfill mining,
  • human integrity development,
  • mangrove rehabilitation

11
Rebuilding/Building of Resilience(internal and
external)
  • Ensure there is the 4Ps approach to system
    development (Policy, Plans, Programmes, Projects)
  • Develop negotiating skills at the level of
    funding agencies collaborations
  • Ensure that legislated sustainable economic
    instruments are part of funding conditions
  • Introduce or strengthen accountability in
    governance
  • Establish clear project and system performance
    indicators

12
Planned Decentralisation of Systems
  • Redefine system governance structures
  • Create a link between service provider and
    service receiver
  • Address institutional arrangements to facilitate
    community managed systems
  • Develop planned self-sufficient satellite systems
    to control investment, OM and energy costs and
    to ensure greater stability and security measures

13
Recommendations
  • Develop national integrated waste management
    plans.
  • Structure integrated resource management systems.
  • Introduce project development as an integral part
    of resource management
  • Introduce national infrastructure for business
    activity in waste minimization.

14
Recommemdation(contd.)
  • Establish linkages between supply chain
    stakeholders and waste managers in product
    development.
  • Create the incentives for research and
    development for new and safer indigenous
    technologies.
  • Highlight public education, awareness and
    participation.

15
  • Proposed action plan.
  • Identify priority items for resource management.
  • Establish policy statements.
  • Establish required regulations.
  • Develop economic and social drivers for waste
    minimization.
  • Invite business plans for product recovery and
    market delivery.
  • Facilitate public sector private sector
    initiatives.
  • Create linkages between product developers and
    waste managers.
