This volume Prevention Guide, is the second volume of a single Waste Prevention Guide, addressing local authority (LA) staff members, and together with the first volume provides all the basic information on the Waste Prevention as well as instructions to direct the planning and implementation of prevention actions in LAs. More specifically, the objective of this second volume of the Waste Prevention Guide is to provide Local Authorities’ staff basic knowledge and experience in order to be able to: a) develop a targeted prevention plan for their municipality / community, and b) to implement many of the prevention actions that they will propose. The Waste Prevention Guide (Volumes I and II) provides very useful training material for a long distance 3 week-long seminar, which is also part of LAWPreT project. The long distance seminar gives the opportunity to LA’ staff members to maximize their knowledge and to achieve the aims set-out in this guide. Volume I of the Prevention Guide and the rest of the training and information material can be found on the project website www.waste-prevention.gr The Waste Prevention Guide was tested and discussed in pilot seminars for LA employees, who participated voluntarily, used the Prevention Guide and made comments and suggestions which were very constructive for the finalization of the Guide. We would like to thank all the participants from various municipalities / communities in Greece, Cyprus and Slovenia for their contribution. We would also like to thank the State Scholarships Foundation-ΙKY for funding the project and for the excellent cooperation with the project team. We hope that the Waste Prevention Guide will be a valuable tool for LAs to speed up the procedures for the effective implementation of many prevention activities in Greece, Cyprus and Slovenia, but also in countries within and outside the EU. Dr. Philippos Kyrkitsos Editorial Manager of the Waste Prevention Guide Introduction The Waste Prevention Guide, is the second volume of a single Waste Prevention Guide, addressing local authorities’ (LA) staff members, and together with the first volume provides all the basic information on the Waste Prevention as well as instructions to direct the planning and implementation of prevention actions in LAs. This second volume, gives to LA staff and managers the opportunity: To gain in a relatively short amount of time the basic knowledge about all waste streams and products for which they can develop prevention activities in their local authorities, To gain experience, in the depth and give emphasis where they wish, on good prevention practices in other countries To be able to develop a specific prevention plan that is best-suited to the needs and the abilities of their local authority. To be able to implement many of the prevention activities that they will propose, To be able to monitor and fine tune the prevention activities that they implement. To facilitate LAs staff members and managers, the Prevention Guide consists of four comprehensive steps with the following content: Step I – Learning: This is the most important step; it attempts to fill the big information gap on Prevention, particularly in countries such as Greece and Cyprus. It comprehensively presents: a) the basic knowledge on materials and products, for which prevention activities can be implemented, b) municipal or community sites, that can be used to implement prevention actions, c) the administrative and other measures that a LA may choose, to maximize waste prevention, and d) the best practices, case studies and videos on prevention activities in various countries in order to gain valuable experience. For the most efficient use of the Guide all prevention actions are divided in 24 thematic fields of which 13 concern materials and products, 6 concern sites where prevention actions can take place and the remaining five concern administrative initiatives of local authorities. Step II – Planning: It presents the basic actions that must be done to prepare a Prevention Action Plan in the LA. These actions are a) the creation of a Prevention Team in the LA, b) the assessment of the actual management cost of each material or product, that now ends as waste in order to quantify the economic benefits of prevention, c) the evaluation and the identification of specific characteristics of the LA, which should be taken into account in the selection of prevention actions, and d) the acquisition of knowledge and skills to identify appropriate prevention targets and monitoring indicators, depending on the selected activities. Step III– Selection: In this step, the methodology and criteria that can be used by a LA, to choose the thematic field and the appropriate prevention actions are presented and analyzed, ddepending on its particular characteristics, needs and capabilities. In addition, potentially appropriate prevention actions can be selected from a large database of Good Practices of other countries, from which the final choice for implementation can be made. Step IV– Implementation – Evaluation – fine tuning: This step presents the various stages for the effective implementation of selected prevention actions, the systematic monitoring and the evaluation of implementation as well as ways to redesign and make corrective moves. To maximize the use of time of LA staff members, the material accompanying this Guide is in “interface” form (link) or directly linked with the Platform of the LAWPreT project (www.waste- prevention.gr), or links the User directly to other websites (eg Best Practices or videos).

  • Groundbreaking Textile Recycling Technology 9
    Sulzer Annual Report 2020 – Focus – Groundbreaking textile recycling technology 9 Groundbreaking textile recycling technology Fast retail has led to shorter life cycle for garments, with millions of tons of fabrics piling up in landfills. This makes textile waste one of society’s pressing environmental issues. Today, only a minor share of end-of-use clothing is recycled. Sulzer partners with H&M to control and develop Worn Again, an innovator in textile recycling technology, which aspires to enable full circularity in the garment industry. Who doesn’t love the sight of a decluttered wardrobe? Since Netflix made the renowned tidying expert Marie Kondo and her organizing method popular across the globe, decluttering has become an expression of contemporary lifestyle. Even more so in times of the pandemic, with more people staying at home and tidying up. But what to do with all the pieces that – in the words of Kondo – no longer “spark joy”? Although secondhand fashion is increasing in popularity again, most clothing still ends up being thrown away. Three-quarters of clothing end up in landfills Of the more than 60 million tons of natural and synthetic textile fibers that are produced for clothing every year, 73% is incinerated or landfilled, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. While it is common in many countries to recycle materials such as plastic, glass and paper, it is estimated that only 1% of clothing is recycled into new garments. Why is that? Textiles are rather complex systems containing various types of fibers, dyes, fillers and additives, making them difficult to recycle into virgin-like raw materials.

EDITORIAL Recycling and Trade: Win-Win Situation for Enterprises and Environment Nowadays, it is a well-known fact that recycling bears immense advantages all over the world. Recycling materials not only extends the lifecycle of – fi- nite – resources but also avoids the emission of millions of tons of CO2. At the same time, the use of secondary raw materials saves money by saving work steps – and thus costs – compared to the production of primary raw materials. Recycled raw materials are not traded globally for nothing. This favorable constellation seems to be at stake as international trade is ad- versely affected. That was an important issue during the latest World Recycling Convention, organized by the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR). At the BIR Convention’s kick-off meeting “The Challenge” (special edition), Michael Lion, Chairman of the BIR International Trade Council and host of “The Chal- lenge”, addressed the issue of “Chronic Container Chaos”, where “surging Brigitte Weber Editor-in-Chief freight rates, lacunae of container availability and shipping space confronts and disrupts BIR members’ trading, marketing and supply chain capabilities”. According to Andrew Hoad from DP World, rapid relief cannot be expected.
