No conformities
Improvement Action
Implications
Basic characterization
analysis clinical waste
(RBS)
Presented a suitability certificate of
analytical operations proposed in
standards used for this kind of waste
Increase in the current number of
records and work procedures
Justified the refuse of non admissible
waste according to procedure describe
in NC 1
Increase in controls

Temporary storage area for
no admissible waste
12
Clinic waste piling above 2
levels
According to containers homologation,
they can be piled due to piling,
resistance and sealing tests
Continue with the same working
practice (no implication)
13
Clinic waste labeling
Improvements in the HW signaling
Slight improvement in the work
procedure. HW area adaptation

Improvement Action
Implications
Neither segregation nor
storage of WEEE
Studied commonly with IMS WEEE the
option of sending material. The option
is rejected due to the bad condition of
the waste
Stored and sent just the potentially
reused material (< 10 t/y)

bodies
The first leachate accumulation is
detected in 2011. Installed a pneumatic
system in order to pump it out
Continue with the same working
procedure. NO IMPLICATION

Designed a plant for bulky waste
treatment
Presented to local association a
cost assessment in order to
increase tipping fee
Constructed the first phase of the
bulky waste treatment plant
Designed a bulky waste treatment
plant
Constructed the first phase of the
bulky waste treatment plant
Desigend a revamping of MSW
recycling plant, with 5
authomatized sorting lines, aimed
at increasing capacit up to
maximum
After several modifications,
increase manual sorting lines and
optimized feeding and organic
fraction refining processes
Previous treatment of green
waste, landfilling treatment
procedure during technical
shutdowns and weekends
Landfilling of potentially
recoverable fractions
No increase in tipping fee

Green waste is neither
ground nor composted
Designed a Bulky Waste treatment
plant, with a front grinder for green
waste (previous to composting)
Grinder in included in second
phase, which was not finally
accomplished
Compost and recovered

5 - Major impacts - Operation and Investments
Operation Costs
Processing cots increases due to the
necessity of processing 100% of waste
and fostering by-products recovery
+12%
Landfill adaptation
costs
Expend costs for adapting landfills to
national legislation during 2011 - 2018
6,4 M€
Infrastructure
Environmental controls
General high increase in the level of
control and recording, which will be expend
during the landfill operating life plus the
post closure period (- 2046)
300.000 €/year
New Infrastructures
Bulky waste processing plant – phase 1
650.000 €
MSW plant expansion
1.900.000 €
By-products press expansion
140.000 €
IPPC Environmental Standard implementation has meant increase
on control and recording levels, higher operation cost for
processing 100% of incoming waste and additional investments in
landfill and processing plant

5 - Major impacts - Operation and Investments
Increase in controls

Conclusions – IPPC Implementation
 The whole certification process has taken 6 years, being still alive
 The certification was completed successfully, being granted in October
2007, and extended in July 2009
 Out of a total 165 issues, just 30 were no conform
 7 were of immediate solution
 17 required discussion to really understand the situation and agree a feasible solution
 In 6 the solution exceeded ABORGASE scope, 3 were solved by means of extra investment
and in 2, were partially solved in agreement with the administration
 The implementation process, moreover 6 years of work, has implied
additional investments (9,4 M€), higher operation costs (+12%) and high
increase in number of controls and records
 The additional cost (investment and operation) are partially covered by
ABORGASE
 The IPPC has been a high challenge, but today we do a more responsible
and respectful waste management activity
