Energy from Waste kindly invites you to the conference Energy from Waste Advancements in Biogas Production November 13-14, 2013 Ystad Saltsjöbad Purpose The conference organised by Swedish-Polish Sustainable Energy Platform in Warsaw in November 2011 attracted a lot of interest from Polish stakeholders towards the Swedish model of biogas production from waste and resulted in a number of feasibility studies in Poland. The purpose of this conference is to build upon the previous experience and to provide the opportunity of knowledge and technology exchange for Polish and Swedish stakeholders. The conference welcomes you to: Meet experts from different fields involved in the success of the Swedish biogas industry Familiarize with pioneering technologies in the organic waste management Gain knowledge on how to achieve a profitable biogas industry Get the business contacts you need to take the next steps Target audience Decision-makers on national, regional and local levels as well as consultants, academia and technology providers from both Poland and Sweden. Biogas from waste – a win-win-win-win concept Organic waste can be turned into a profitable renewable energy opportunity! Household and industrial waste, manure, sludge from waste water treatment – all these and other organic waste fractions are valuable energy resources. In this way four problems are addressed at the same time: 1. A waste problem, accentuated by the upcoming EU waste directive prohibiting organic waste to be landfilled. 2. A climate change problem, caused by the use of fossil fuels for energy production and vehicle operation. 3. The bio fertilizer that is a bi-product of biogas production will reduce dependency on fossil fuel based fertilizers. 4. Dependency on fossil fuels import will be reduced by locally produced energy, thus increasing energy security. Biogas can be used for electricity and heat generation. It can also be upgraded to high- functionality transportation fuel, as well as distributed in the regular gas grid.

We all have both rights and obligations; personal responsibility can never be replaced by political decisions. Politicians have a major responsibility for using resource and our taxpayers’ money in the best possible way.

The strategy raises many of the issues the EU face with plastics and plastic waste today, presents several goals for 2030 in this field - such as a >50% recycling rate of plastic waste - and recommends measures the nations could take to improve their management of plastics and plastic waste. Sweden has for a long time worked closely with the sorting, collecting and recycling of household plastic waste, and is by 2016 already reaching recycling rates of 42.2%, in big part thanks to Sweden’s legally demanded extended producer responsibility. The question arose of how much the EU commission’s strategy will affect Sweden in its work of sorting and collecting plastic waste. This study approaches this question by attempting to answer instead what the Swedish municipalities have already accomplished without the help of the EU commission’s strategy, what actions are being planned in future following this strategy, as well as what other measures had been taken previously when dealing with demands of sorted household waste to see if there are any methods that would be applicable to plastic waste.

One of the core sources for the loss of agricultural land is the growth of cities. While urban sprawl is mostly associated with North America, the European Union increasingly raises awareness for the greater loss of valuable soils through development processes within its member states. The variables driving the loss of farmland differ and strongly depend on the region studied.

In the same vein, the thesis also explores the reasons behind why certain humans care more for the environment than others, especially in regard to taking pro-environmental action. Nature is explored as a positive experience which furthermore positively affects children in a numerous amount of ways such as health, cognitive development, emotionally, socially and most importantly, in the fostering of nature relationships which act as a way to fight learned helplessness. The findings of the research illustrate that although Sweden is a very environmentally forward country, the majority of school playgrounds in the Lund municipality do not project a great amount of nature or nature experiences, with the dominant ground materials on playgrounds being concrete, the most common location was suburban, and the most common activity was sports.
