Institutional set-up

Legal set-up

Policies

� Law on Waste Management in the Republic of Srpska (2015)

� Law on Waste Management in the Federation of BiH (2003)

� Law on Waste Management in BD (2009)

� Set of entity bylaws that regulate different aspects including waste categories with lists, permitting for small-scale activities on waste management, extended producers responsibility (EPR), transboundary movement of waste, etc.

Strategies

� Environmental Protection Strategy of FBiH 2008-2018 including Waste Management Strategy of FBiH & Federal Waste Management Plan 2012-2017 (FBIH)

� Solid Waste Management Strategy 2017-2026 (RS)

� Environmental Protection Strategy of BD for the period 2016-2026 which includes waste management strategy

Waste composition

� Organic waste = 25% (cantonal average) up to 50% (municipal average).

� Dry recyclables (plastic, glass, paper, metals, al. cans, PET) accounts for 24-38% of the total waste.

� The percentage is lower in rural municipalities and higher in the urban cantons, especially Sarajevo Canton.

Financing

� Main financing is from tariffs

� Tariffs for households might be based on m² usable surface, fixed amount per person per household, fixed amount per household, number of waste removals, etc.

� The weighted average tariff/year for the served inhabitants is EUR 51/household/year assuming a family size of 3.09 persons (Census 2013) and a waste generation rate of 0.8 kg/cap/day.

� The average tariff for waste management is 0.5% of the spendable income.

� The commercial/institutional sector can also be charged per container and the tariff per 1,100-litre container is in general BAM 35/container, which would correspond with approx. EUR 80/ton (assuming 185 kg/m³ and 90% filling)

� Other sources of financing are municipality subsidies, grants from Environmental funds, EPR scheme, and loans by IFIs (WB, EBRD).

Available technologies and existing plants

� 6 active regional sanitary landfills that serve 36 municipalities (out of 141 + BD) and 2 under construction that will serve 6 more municipalities

� 93 noncompliant municipal landfills

� 12000 wild dumps

� 5 sorting lines

� no other options for waste (pre)treatment are available in the country
