Final Abstract P-556 Needs Analysis For Biodegredable Waste Management
ABSTRACT
Healthy development of integrated waste management at national level is inn principal dependent on adequacy of
the waste sector and a systematic interaction between the regulations and implementations. Within this framework,
analysis of reflection and effects of implementations in waste management is highly significant. The aim of this
study is analysis of the reflection of implementation of the regulation foreseeing decrease of biodegradable wastes to
be landfilled and making forecasts for the future by using existing data.
With the purpose of determination of needs, the total and biodegradable waste amounts in Turkey have been
calculated according to current and future conditions. It has been queried to what extent the data acquired in this
direction meet the goals of the regulation, predictions were made for need of investments.
A significant part of the existing facilities aimed at processing and recycling of biodegradable wastes is of pilot size
or at testing stage and existing total capacity can be disposed only 10% of the total biodegradable wastes. It is
required to establish biological preprocessing facilities with a total capacity of 8 million tons until year 2025 in order
to meet the targets of the regulations. Additional measures are needed for meeting these needs. It is necessary to
implement arrangements and renovations in implementation plans, structuring of regulations and financial policies
for harmonization of goals of the regulation with the implementations.
Keywords: Biodegradable Waste, Organic Waste, Waste Legislation, Waste Reduction
2. METHOD
In this study, total and biodegradable waste formation on country basis was calculated by using official
data. Then, landfill quotas and quantities foreseen for biodegradable wastes as per the regulations in effect
were determined. The content that needs to be kept subject to biological process in the contents of
biodegradable wastes were classified and calculated separately.
The quantity of wastes that need to be kept subject to biological preprocessing on a year basis in the
future in order to conform to landfill quotas were determined. The total capacity need of the biological
preprocessing facilities were determined by taking as basis year 2025, which is the ultimate target in the
regulations. This need was distributed to the municipality groups in the scale of their populations. As a
result, estimations were made for total capacity needs and the number of necessary facilities of different
capacities. It was aimed that this estimate gives an idea and create awareness about investment needs.
