1. Frogs and princes
Martijntje Smits Theory:
3 choices for „monsters‟ (or frogs) in society:
1. Banish the monster: it should not be in society
2. Embrace the monster, make it saint
3. Adopting, modifying the monster, so that it fits into society

• Prosperous region, high living standard
• Dense network of specialized SME’s
• Excellent accessibility
• Young, high-educted and multilingual working force
• Different knowledge centres
• Creative and dynamic region

From waste to energy
Waste as „frogs‟
Local dumps
Increasing consumption
increasing amounts of waste
Negative perception:
hygiene, sanitary conditions
smell
Waste as „princes‟
Intermunicipal waste management
a well structured policy for awhole region
several installations for treatment of waste
Waste as a raw material
Flanders: 70% of the wasteis recycled (top of Europe)
Waste as energy
Waste as energy
1. Waste incineration with recovery of energy
2. Biomass
3. Solar panels
4. Change of perception
1. Waste incineration with recovery of energy
2. Biomass
3. Solar panels
4. Change of perception
Since 1984 : production of electricity
• 2 kg of household waste = 1 kWh
• Approximately 32.000 MW (eq. 25.000 inhabitants)
• 47% considered as renewable energy
1. Waste incineration with recovery of energy
2. Biomass
3. Solar panels
4. Change of perception
Since 2005 : biomass out of non-recyclable wood
• 30.000 tons annually, 1 kg = 1,375 kWh
• Approximately 41.250 MW annually (eq. 32.000 inhabitants)
• Raw material for biomass power plant
1. Waste incineration with recovery of energy
2. Biomass
3. Solar panels
4. Change of perception
2. Installations
Since 2009 : Solar panels as ‘after care measurement’ on landfilling site when full
• 0,5 ha up to 10 ha (eq. 4.000 inhabitants)
Change of perception about waste: from frog to prince
Waste: from problem to opportunities
Through communication, sensitization & education on:
• Waste prevention
• Quality of secundary materials depends on first hand sorting
• NIMBY
Large return potential on energy saving measurements
• Housing tradition in Flanders
• Inhabitants lack of knowledge about energy saving
• Different target groups
