  • Waste Management Services 2013
    Waste Management Services 2013 The OECD Competition Committee debated Waste Management Services in October 2013. This document includes an executive summary of that debate and the documents from the meeting: a background note, written submissions by Canada, the Czech Republic, Estonia, the European Union, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Peru, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, South Africa, Sweden, Chinese Taipei, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States, BIAC as well as an aide-memoire of the discussion. Technological and policy changes have altered the economics of waste collection and treatment. Landfills are further away from cities and larger. More waste is diverted towards treatments that allow to re-use it, recycle it, or to recover energy from it. Secondary raw materials derived from recycled waste are being increasingly sought afters, as primary raw materials are becoming scarcer and more expensive. Producers have been made responsible for the products they have put on the market at the post-consumer stage of the products’ life. All these changes are raising new competition issues, some relative to the conduct of firms operating in the markets for the management of waste, some raised by the ever-increasing amount of environmental legislation. This legislation is aimed at protecting the environment and the health of citizens, but may sometimes raise unnecessary barriers to competition and thus reduce the incentives towards efficiency. This Roundtable examines recent developments in the management of municipal solid waste and discusses the experience of competition agencies in addressing the competition implications of these changes.

  • ECOWEEK 2010 WORKSHOPS in the Middle East: from Ecology & Green
    ECOWEEK 2010 WORKSHOPS in the Middle East: from Ecology & Green Architecture to Cooperation & Peace August 2010 ECOWEEK an international NGO with the mission to raise environmental awareness is active in Europe and the Middle East. ECOWEEK international workshops aim to join young and established architects from around the world for a week of intense training in sustainable design. Among the distinguished workshop leaders were US architect Michael Sorkin (Sorkin Studio), Greek landscape architect Thomas Doxiadis (doxiadis+) and Palestinian architect Omar Yousef. W1: The Shorouq Society for Women, Al-Izaryia The Shorouq Charitable Society for Women is a Palestinian non-profit organization established in 2002 to improve the status and empower women. The Center rents a building in Al-Izaryia, which does not meet the Society’s needs. The design rearranges the interiors, adds a roof pergola and vine, a traditional Palestinian element, and uses local materials and skills. It improves indoor conditions and is a source of pride to Palestinian woman. Workshop leaders: Mai Haseba, Dan Price, Ziad Jallad, with the support of Gilad Rosezweig. Workshop team: Listovskaya Irina, Prentou Polina, Yacoby Yael, Zevi Laura, Ranad Shqeirat, Valitutto Irene, Michael Rozio, Tal Blumberg- Mandel. W4: French Hill, Jerusalem Workshop “City of Collision: Jerusalem and the Principles of Conflict Urbanism” In Jerusalem “buffer zones” between urban typologies link or separate and create contradictions. Sprawling Jerusalem and its discontinuities mirror the tensions of rapid urbanization under conditions of conflict over identity, ownership, and esthetic domination. The proposed design creates an independent layer of water and natural life for pedestrian movement, promoting cohabitation of mixed communities on both sides of the Green Line, environmental awareness and coexistence.

  • PRESS RELEASE: ECOWEEK the Book#1: 50 Voices for Sustainability
    PRESS RELEASE: ECOWEEK The Book#1: 50 Voices for Sustainability ECOWEEK RELEASES NEW BOOK: ECOWEEK The Book#1: 50 Voices for Sustainability ISBN 9786188311206 – 398 full color pages - English In 2013 ECOWEEK launched a unique project to celebrate its 10-year anniversary: a book to inspire young and established professionals towards sustainability. The project was supported by Goethe- Thessaloniki, pre-sales crowdfunding, and professional practices from around the world. The publication hosts 50 architects, landscape architects, designers, environmental leaders and young professionals who share their work and vision on sustainable design, urbanism, and architecture in public spaces and cities around the world. Award-winning architects, among them Kengo Kuma, Bjarke Ingels, MVRDV, and Diebedo Francis Kere, and environmental leaders such as Prof. David Orr of Oberlin College and Antarctica explorer Robert Swan, joined their voice to amplify their message through creative, innovative, and inspiring work. What brings these extraordinary professional together is the ECOWEEK platform: they lectured and/or led design workshops at ECOWEEK events around the world – in Greece, Italy, Israel, Poland, Denmark, UK, Serbia, Turkey, and Kosovo. The ECOWEEK Book #1: 50 Voices for Sustainability was edited by Dr. Elias Messinas, ECOWEEK founding chairman, architect, environmental consultant, social entrepreneur and educator, and architect and educator Dan Price. ‘This book is a reminder of the common vision for a sustainable future. More now than ever, as world leaders, like the President of the United States, choose to put environmental concerns aside,’ says Messinas, who was also the project manager of the publication. ‘We hope we created an empowering tool for young and established professionals to enrich their work and be inspired to find their own voice for sustainability,’ adds Messinas.
