Waste Management   Situation Romania is situated in the south-east of Central Europe, in the lower Danube River basin, bordering in east with the Black Sea. Area: 238,391 sq km; Population: 21,537,563 inhabitants; Capital: Bucharest: 2,000,000 inhabitants. The responsibility for municipal waste management lies with the local public administrations, which, directly or after having licensed an authorized private operator, have to provide collection, selective collection, transportation, treatment and final disposal of this waste. EU legislation on Waste Management has been fully transposed through:  Romanian National Strategy and National Plan for Waste Management  – approved in 2004 – G.D. 1470/2004.  DETAILED WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR 8 REGIONS  – approved in December 2007. National and Regional Strategies for 2004 – 2008:  Reduction of the environmental impact of the existing landfills that are not in compliance with EU legislation.  Implementation of separate collection systems (for households).  Construction of transfer stations, sorting plants, composting plants, landfills (minimum one for each county), recycling plants.  Implementation of energy recovery is being considered for after 2013. The implementation of Integrated Waste Management in Romania is performed through Sectorial Operational Programme (SOP) ENVIRONMENT 2007 – 2013. The overall objective of SOP is to protect and improve the environment and living standards in Romania, focusing in particular on meeting the EU environmental law. The aim is to reduce the infrastructure gap in the field of environmental protection that exists between the European Union and Romania both in terms of quantity and quality. This should result in more effective and efficient services, while taking fully into account sustainable development and the polluter pays principle. The specific objectives of the SOP ENV for waste management will be realized through Priority Axis 2 - Development of sustainable waste management systems, by improving waste management and reducing the number of historically contaminated sites in minimum 30 counties by 2015.  Financial Plan for the period 2007 – 2013 Community Funding National Contribution Total Funding  €934.223.079  €233.555.770 1.167.778.849  Municipal Waste 281,2 million tonnes of waste were generated in 2007: approximately 215,066 million tonnes produced by mining industry, approximately 57,235 million tonnes of other industrial waste and approximately 8,9 million tonnes municipal waste . Around 40% of the municipal waste components are recyclable materials out of which about 20% can be recovered, as they are not contaminated. The amount of municipal waste generated is 450 kg/capita. The collection of household waste is not generalized at a country’s level. In 2007, municipal councils and the sanitation operators have collected household waste from 83,1% of the urban area population and 11,79% from the rural area population, that is, at a national level, an average of 51%. Transition period – objectives and targets 2009 - Implementation of the separate collection of municipal waste in urban area - fully implemented. 2013 – Recycling of packaging waste generated volumes. 2017 Closure of 238 existing municipal landfills  which are not in compliance with EU regulations and construction of 65 new landfills  in compliance with EU regulations.

II. WtE development •  Overview 

In Romania there are no installations for energy recovery from MSW (June 2010). New RomanianWaste Management Strategy  for the period 2009 – 2015 (in approval procedure) considers that

energy recovery from MSW should be made possible after the year 2009  and it should be at thelevel of  17% of the total MSW generated quantity, which represents 1,5 millions tonnes/year .WtE plants should be constructed and operated under the following technical and economicconditions:  Quantity of MSW available  – minimum 150.000 tonnes/year (equivalent population of

minimum 300.000 inhabitants).  Existing consumers for the energy (heat and electricity) produced by the plants.  Plants must respect all the EU and Romanian legislation (Waste-to-Energy concept and

Energy Efficiency – 0,65).Responsibility for the permit is at the Regional level (Regional Environmental Protection Agency).Feasibility Studies for 3 locations have been made: Timişoara, Bucharest and Braşov.

The percentage of separate collection of municipal waste - 2%.Out of a total of generated municipal waste, approximately 98%is landfilled  each year. 24 landfills for municipal waste are incompliance with EU legislation – landfill tax between 12 – 20 €/tonne. 1 landfill for hazardous waste – landfill tax between 200 – 600 €/tonne. 6 large sorting plants (over 100.000 tonnes/year).Existing recycling facilities: Plastics – over 140.000 tonnes/year;Paper and cardboard – over 400.000 tonnes/year; Aluminium –over 500.000 tonnes/year; Glass – over 100.000 tonnes/year. 8regional incineration plants for medical hazardous waste – inoperation – capacities of 3.500 – 10.000 tonnes/year. Co-incineration in cement kilns – 7 units – total capacity – 350.000tonnes/year.
