Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Communication "Closing the loop - An EU action plan for the Circular Economy" describes the 'Circular Economy' as an economy wherein the value of products, materials and resources is maintained for as long as possible, and the generation of waste minimised. The Communication announced that the European Commission will develop guidance and promote best practices in the extractive waste management plans (EWMPs) by 2018. The Raw Materials Initiative was put forward in 2008 to address the need for sustainable access to raw materials that manufacturing industries in Europe have. It was renewed in 2011 with the addition of the list of Critical Raw Materials, materials that have a high economic importance for Europe and where there is a risk of sufficient supply. The list is updated continuously, and the 2017 list features 27 critical raw materials. There is potential for some of these materials to be mined from historical waste, and investments in research projects are being done on these processes. Since the entry into force of the Directive 2006/21/EC (Extractive Waste Directive) on 1 May 2008, according to Article 5 of the EWD operators have to submit EWMP as part of their permit applications. As a result of the many years of experience with EWMPs, a substantial knowledge base has now been established across the whole of the EU territory, which should enable the identification of best practices that merit a more widespread implementation across the extractive sector.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Directive 2006/21/EC on the management of waste from the extractive industries (EWD) provides measures, procedures and guidance to prevent or reduce as far as possible any adverse effects on the environment and any resultant risks on human health from the management of extractive waste. According to Article 5 of the EWD operators have to submit an extractive waste management plan (EWMP) as part of their permit applications. The present study uses a wide range of information provided by Member States and the extractive industries, reflecting many years of experience with EWMPs, to identify best practices, as well as to outline a methodology to develop EWMPs. The focus is on (a) the prevention or reduction of extractive waste generation and of its harmfulness, (b) the recovery of extractive waste (by recycling, re-use or reclaiming), as well as (c) the assurance of short- and long-term safe disposal of extractive waste. The study comprises two guidance documents, which were developed based on risk assessment principles, focusing on the objectives of (a) achieving a Circular Economy throughout the whole life-cycle of an extractive operation, and (b) the safety of the extractive waste at each stage of the life-cycle of an extractive waste facility.

Book excerpt: The tender "ENV.B.3/ETU/2017/0039 - Study supporting the development of general guidance on the implementation of the Extractive Waste Directive (EWD)" has been launched in response to the findings of the EWD implementation report of 2016. While the previous published report on the implementation of the EWD concluded that the majority of Member States (MS) have adopted the measures needed to implement the EWD, the European Commission found a number of obstacles in assessing the implementation of the EWD. The EWD implementation report identifies that 1) the incomplete and inconsistent set of data is a major obstacle to the European Commission assessing the implementation of the EWD, and 2) diverging interpretations of the EWD are a likely source of inconsistencies in the data reported by MS. This project focusses on a reliable description of the material streams resulting from the extractive sector and their management, which might lead to an exchange with MS towards a uniform understanding and application of the EWD. The main objective of this study was to initiate a dialogue with authorities and stakeholders on key concepts of the EWD to develop a wider picture of the entire sector. More specifically, the project broadened the discussion to all material flows in the extractive sector to obtain a better understanding of 1) how the relevant definitions of the EWD are applied, 2) the number of extractive operations per MS (i.e. a comprehensive list of all metal mines and an aggregated overview at MS level with respect to the other commodities), 3) the volumes of the different commodities together with the metal mines' and the non-metallic material flows and the route they are designated to (waste, or other), and 4) the precautions taken with respect to human health and the environment when managing "non-waste" material streams.

Book excerpt: The Directive 2006/21/EC on the treatment of waste from the extractive industries, also called the mining waste Directive (MWD), requires Member States to report to the Commission on their national implementation in three-year intervals based on a questionnaire developed by the Commission in Commission Decision 2009/358/EC (Article 18 (1) of the MWD). In order to support the European Commission in publishing a report on the implementation of the MWD, the present study analyses the completeness of the Member States' (MS) responses to the questionnaire and draws conclusions with respect to the level of transposition of the MWD into national law in the respective MS. The MWD's main objective is to provide for "measures, procedures and guidance to prevent or reduce as far as possible any adverse effects on the environment, in particular water, air, soil, fauna and flora and landscape, and any resultant risks to human health, brought about as a result of the management of waste from the extractive industries." Therefore, the main provisions for the management of waste resulting directly from the prospecting, extraction, treatment and storage of mineral resources and the working of quarries relate to Category "A" waste facilities and facilities for waste characterised as hazardous. This is, because according to Annex III those facilities could give rise to a major accident with adverse environmental or health related consequences, contain hazardous waste above a certain threshold, or contain dangerous substances or preparations above a certain threshold.

Download or read book Waste Management for the Food Industries written by Ioannis S. Arvanitoyannis and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2010-07-28 with total page 1096 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuously increasing human population, has resulted in a huge demand for processed and packaged foods. As a result of this demand, large amounts of water, air, electricity and fuel are consumed on a daily basis for food processing, transportation and preservation purposes. Although not one of the most heavily polluting, the food industry does contribute to the increase in volume of waste produced as well as to the energy expended to do so. For the first time, nine separate food industry categories are thoroughly investigated in Waste Management for the Food Industries in an effort to help combat this already acute problem. The current state of environmental management systems is described, offering comparisons of global legislation rarely found in other resources. An extensive review of commercial equipment, including advantages and disadvantages per employed waste management technique, offers a unique perspective for any academic, student, professional, and/or consultant in the food, agriculture and environmental industries. Thoroughly examines the most prevalent and most polluting industries such as Meat, Fish, Dairy, Olive Oil, Juice and Wine industries Includes synoptical tables [methods employed, physicochemical or microbiological parameters altered after treatment etc] and comparative figures of the effectiveness of various waste management methods Contains nearly 2500 of the most up-to-date references available
Download or read book The Hydraulic Transport and Storage of Extractive Waste written by Mike Cambridge and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the guidelines on long-term confinement of fine particulate waste products in a safe and environmentally acceptable location. It seeks to present the state of the art, drawing on combined experience from within the European Union (EU), on good international practice where relevant and on lessons learnt from recent untoward incidents. These guidelines have been developed in parallel with the development of the European Standard on Earthworks (prEN 16907) and the contents have been influenced by the well-publicised need for guidance to all stakeholders on both technical and regulatory aspects of the permitting, design and construction of extractive waste facilities in Europe. The Extractive Waste Directive (EWD) imposes a duty on all operators and regulators to ensure the competent design, operation and closure of such facilities. However, though some guidance has been published on a limited number of related technical elements, the relevance of these contributions has been diminished by the lack of an integrated approach. It is now evident to both regulatory bodies and operators alike that a unified and comprehensive document providing guidance to all stakeholders is required if the future of mining within the EU is to be assured and further untoward incidents avoided. These guidelines seek to address all technical stages of the development of a hydraulic fill project in the context of the EWD, with an emphasis on waste and facility characterisation and on the risk-based assessments which underwrite them. They are intended for use by all stakeholders involved in those European industries which involve the generation, transport and storage of fine particulate waste products requiring long-term confinement in a safe, stable and environmentally acceptable location.
Download or read book Resource Recovery from Wastes written by Lynne E Macaskie and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of a circular economy has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. Many of the sources of chemicals we have become reliant on are dwindling and the accumulation of waste products poses a serious environmental problem. By recovering resources from these waste materials, we can reduce our dependence on virgin feedstocks that may not be sustainable as well as reducing the quantity of material going to landfill sites. Incorporating different perspectives from a global authorship, this book aims to introduce systems thinking to the field of waste and resource management. The topics covered range from the use of biogeochemical processes in resource recovery to the application of engineered nanomaterials, with information relevant to both academia and industry. The broad range and cross-disciplinary nature of the topics in this book make it a valuable resource for those working in circular economy research, green chemistry and waste and resource management.
