The Dutch background and perspective
Two approaches
Local initiatives, incl. diftar
From ‘end of pipe’ to ‘managing the chain’
Future perspectives
• Chain Management and the waste
management industry
• Changing the dynamics of WASTE
Royal Dutch Solid Waste Association
•
Members:
– Municipalities (190 members)
– Public waste management companies, mainly local and regional
(127 members = almost 100%)
=> covering over 90% of all Dutch Municipalities and over 95% population
•
•
•
•
– Other waste management organisations, 152 members, national network
Represents the (public) waste management sector
Aims from a public perspective:
– Pro-active policy development and serving of interests
– Knowledge centre for waste management
– Network for professionalization of waste management activities
– Enhancing the image of the waste management sector
with its dynamics, innovation and societal interest
European activities
International activities
: Municipal Waste Europe, active member
: ISWA, active member for long
Public perspective, societal interest

Waste hierarchy
•
After landfilling & incineration/waste to energy,
shift focus to prevention and reuse/recycling

Dutch policy and initiatives
• Initiatives from AOO (waste management organization):
– Impulse program waste separation and prevention
– Subsidy scheme decreasing environmental pressure
• Diftar: Differentiated Tariffs
• National waste management plan: high priority on
prevention
• Specific policy:
– Producers responsibility
– Cradle to cradle (C2C)
– Chain policy (‘ketenbeleid’ in LAP 2)
Two approaches
1. ‘End of pipe’ prevention
 Analysis of waste bin: what can be separated?
 Intervention from the waste sector
2. Waste prevention from scratch
 Organise production process: ‘Chain management’
 Intervention in the production-phase
End of pipe prevention
Waste prevention through reactive management:
– Intervention in the waste-phase of the product (waste sector)
– What are the current waste streams (bin-analysis)?
Waste
Sorting
Differentiated
tariffs
Collect/deliver
Reimbursement
schemes
End of pipe: DIFTAR
•

•
•
•
Differentiated Tariffs
Variable waste costs for citizens
‘The less waste you generate, the less you pay’
Better waste separation
Less rest (grey) waste in DIFTAR municipalities!
35% of Dutch Municipalities (accounting for 25% of the
inhabitants of the Netherlands) use differentiated tariffs
• Diftar more popular in less urbanized regions
• Waste management costs in DIFTAR-municipalities significantly
lower. Difference of € 50,- per household..
Waste reduction: Local Program
Ambition 2030: 10 kg per person per year
 Waste is only what cannot be reused: only 10 kg/year rest
waste left (versus 250 kg today)!
‘Lease instead of buy’
‘Waste that need not be
bought’
‘Waste free shopping’
In cooperation
with producers,
retailers,
consumers and
governments
Dutch policy from scratch: (material) chain approach

Major successes with “traditional” waste management policy

Environmental pressure material chains still high

Profitable because of rising demand for materials/resources

Demand and price resources will continue to rise because of
upcoming economies


Managing entire chains of a material most effective way to tackle
environmental pressure
Expected to lead to innovation, new business, new coalitions
Prevention ‘from scratch’
New products will be rapidly consumed
and create new waste globally
Prevention ‘from scratch’
Waste prevention through active chain management:
– How can production and consumption patterns be changed in
order to reduce waste?
– How are products produced?
 intervention in the production phase
– What is the role of the consumer? How much waste is the
result?
Production
Consumption

Waste prevention: managed by chains…

• The International Solid Waste Association is an
international, independent and non-profit making
association, working in the public interest to promote and
develop sustainable waste management worldwide.

• Why ISWA?
• Chains of materials and production and consumer patterns
do not start or end in one nation nor in one continent
• Any successful approach by definition needs to be global
• And it requires expertise, interest and a clear perspective
• The public perspective brings a pro-active role
• Waste is a tangible angle to reduce environmental impact
• ISWA can be more visible with its knowledge
• And we can move to a business with higher added value
Alliances – and focus

ISWA
• Innovation & Technology
• Economic Sustainability
• A competitive advantage
from cradle
to practice
Approach (and what’s in it for us?)
• Concrete sectors that have an impact
– Textiles (basis: angle materials, opportunities: link to sectors with other image: moda?
– Consumer electronics (basis: successful structure producers responsibility)
– T.b.d.: further materials (see 7 priority streams?), focus on impact to be achieved
• Play an initiating role through our knowledge
• Raise awareness and offer perspective
• Realistic scope:

•
•
•
•
NOT the entire life cycle, as the user phase is not our area
BUT YES, we do know about turning waste into a resource
And we do have ideas about design, or rather what materials should be chosen
And we know how Reuse, Sorting and Recycling can be organised and done
Show good practices
Enhance visibility & image of waste management industry
With experts and contribution from ISWA-members
Relate to other industries and promote their societal profile
•
CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Cooperation based on waste as trigger
With a view to more sustainable ways
of production and consumption
