Conclusions
Objectives of the master plan
The main objective of the master plan for the Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW) management is the minimization of the
MSW amount to final disposal concerning the municipality
(the example of Preveza, Greece).
Drivers:
 Economic, environmental and social sustainability
 Public participation
Development of the master plan
Evaluation of the current situation regarding waste management in
the selected municipality.
Development of waste generation and management scenarios
regarding the next decades taking into account the regional planning.
Evaluation of the available rational waste management schemes:
-
Home and municipal composting
Recycling
Reuse of waste
Production and waste derived fuel (biomass)
Operation of reuse and recycling centres
Landfill restoration
Master plan for the municipality of Preveza

Information campaigns addressed to public
Different ways of information campaigns:








‘door-to-door’ campaign
Dissemination of informational material in public places
Hotline open to the citizens
Events (seminars, conferences, informational visits to schools)
TV and radio programmes and advertisements
Visits to municipalities that have already implement rational waste
management schemes
Educational seminars for the waste management municipal personel
Participation of the municipality in national and international networks
promoting rational waste management
Recycling scenarios
Scenario 1: Increase of the MSW recycling stream by 1%.
Scenario 2: Increase of the MSW recycling stream by 5%.
This scenario includes informational campaigns.
Scenario 3: Dissemination of 250 (660 litres) blue bins in
2010 and 250 in 2014. In this way it has been estimated that
the recycling rate will be increased by 30% in 2010 and by
30% in 2014. Informational campaigns will take place in this
scenario as well.

Home composting scenarios
Scenario Α: Dissemination of 2.500 home composting bins (140 lit)
successively (500 bins every 4 years).
Scenario Β: Dissemination of 5.000 home composting bins (140 lit)
successively (1.000 bins every 4 years).

Scenario A
Scenario B
Municipal composting
The implementation of municipal composting scheme will
achieve significant waste diversion from the total amound
ending up in landfills.
In this way it has been estimated that the municipality of
Preveza will reduce the WM cost by 250.000 €/year.
Consolidated scenario
The consolidated scenario includes the implementation of all the
above scenarios (recycling, home and municipal composting).

Good examples from Marseille and Munich
Anaerobic Digestion Unit
An Anaerobic Digestion Unit (ADU) is proposed to operate in
the municipality of Preveza in order to decrease the waste
amount ending up in landfills.
Biogas, as a result of the ADU operation, can be exploited for
thermal and electric energy production.

Conclusions
The implementation of rational WM schemes have advantages
in terms of environmental, economic and social level.
Reduction of WM cost.
Claim for lower gate fees by the municipalities.
Increase of the sanitary landfill life span.
Contribution in the achievement of the EU targets regarding WM.
