1/2
Biological Treatment in the EU
Biological treatment is gaining momentum across Europe.
Enforcement of the principles of the Landfill
Directive, mandating diversion of biodegradables in order to
improve conditions for landfilling, is a
primary driver. Also the ongoing definition of an European
Strategy for Soil Protection, with its
overarching principles targeting recovery of organic fertility,
will exert a great influence on further
development of composting.
In order to ensure full efficiency, the strategy should consider
proper planning, design and
implementation of schemes for separate collection (experiences
are well established, by now, in many
Regions across Europe); a careful and aware marketing strategy;
a technically informed design and
management of compost sites.
In parallel to the likely growth of composting, also
Mechanical-Biological Treatment (MBT) is
undergoing a fast growth, as an option for pre-treatment of
residual waste and in order to improve
recovery of energy and/or final disposal at landfills. The
background reasons for the widespread interest
in MBT, its operational goals, and principles for its
integration and synergies with strategies for
composting, need to be properly investigated, in order to
outline consistent waste management strategies,
delivering important results in terms of diversion from
landfills, economics and improvement of
environmental performances of waste management.
All the foregoing will be comprehensively considered during a
high-level workshop on biological
treatment, where some of the most knowledgeable experts in this
field will help refine views on the
potential role and specific goals of biological treatment.
Decision-makers, legislators, NGOs, and the waste industry will
certainly find the programme attractive,
and capable to deliver first-hand information about current
drivers, good practice, and recommendations
for proper planning.
