ISWM-TINOS “ Development and implementation of a demonstration system

on Integrated Solid Waste Management for Tinos in line with theWaste Framework Directive”

LIFE10 ENV/GR/000610

ISWM TINOS is a LIFE+ Project co-funded by the EuropeanCommission. The project was initiated on the 1st October 2011.

The implementation of the projectThe implementation of the projecttakes place in Tinos island, Greeceunder the coordination of theMunicipality of Tinos and with thecooperation of the School of ChemicalEngineering of the National TechnicalUniversity of Athens, the Universitàdegli Studi di Verona and the Centrefor Research & TechnologyHellas/Chemical Process and EnergyResources Institute.

The main objective of the project is the development and evaluation ofan Integrated Solid Waste Management scheme for solid waste in Tinosin line with the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC.

The ISWM scheme

The ISWM scheme includes the separation at source of dry recyclables(paper/paperboard, glass, plastic & metal), as well as of biowaste(mainly kitchen waste) and the subsequent treatment of the collectedbiowaste with aerobic treatment (composting). The first phase of thepilot ISWM scheme includes the separate collection of dry recyclables.

Preliminary Results

• The official launching of the ISWM scheme forthe selected communities of Pyrgos & PanormosBay was initiated on 10th June 2013 & iscontinuously monitored by the ISWM projectteam.

• The first months of the scheme implementationindicate exceptionally high participation level andincreased purity of the separated materials. Morespecifically, within the first 3 months:

Where do the separated waste materials go?

The separated dry recyclables are collected from the outdoor bins andare temporarily stored in containers placed next to the selected pilotarea, prior to their transport in a Material Recovery Facility (MRF)(Figure 1).

841 kg paper/paperboard 1194 kg plastic & metal

have been recycled! Next steps:The second phase of the pilot ISWM schemeshall include the installation of a prototypecomposting system in the pilot area & theinitiation of the separation at source of biowaste.

Scope of CERTH/CPERI is to study the properties of alternative fuels regarding their properties and potential utilization in thermochemical processes. The fuels that the laboratory focuses on, include an extensive variety of alternative fuels, including among others:

• Biomass residues • Refuse Derived Fuels • Sludge

Targets Scope

The targets set by CERTH/CPERI include the following topics:

• Expand the number of alternative fuels studied: By expanding the variety, quality and quantity of the biomass fuels studied, the laboratory gains experience on the fuel behavior in cases of thermochemical utilization

• Develop the laboratory infrastructure: The expansion of the laboratory will contribute in increasing the capabilities regarding the analyses and research development upon the field of alternative fuels

• Utilization of alternative fuels for renewable energy production: Focus on the production of renewable electricity and heating/cooling utilizing biomass and other alternative fuels

• Promote the utilization of alternative fuels in power sector and industry: The success of the target set with lead to the decarbonization of the use of fossil fuels
