The Swedish ExampleThe incinerated amount of waste hasincreased with 46% from 1985-1999,while the energy production has increased with 104% and most of the emissions have decreased with 95%-99%.

The Swedish ExampleThe incinerated amount of waste hasincreased with 79% from 1985-2001,while the energy production has increased with 2,57 times (157%) and most of the emissions have decreased with 95%-99%.

The Solid Waste Company of Southwest Scania

Sysav is responsible for waste management,

treatment and recovery of solid household waste

and industrial waste in southwest Scania.

Owned by nine municipalities

Sysav´s motto:The highest possible degree of recycling and the lowest possible degree of landfilling.

At the heart of the eco-cycle

Waste to EnergyState - of - the - Art

The Sysav Site Sorting, recycling, composting and final deposition of waste with collection of biogas

An example of integrated waste management, with a combination of many methods for an environmentally and economically correct waste management1. Two Waste-to-Energy Plants

2. Two landfills with separation and recyclingactivities, composting, production of wood chips, biodegradation of waste in special cells, recovery of landfill gas, landfilling, leachate treatment

3. A pre-sorting plant for bulky waste

4. Two Transferstations

5. Nine big Recycling Centres, open for the public

6. 30 Stations for the reception of householdhazardous waste

7. Collection of batteries

8. A special department for collection, storage and pre-treatment of hazardous waste

9. A separation and recycling plant for electric and electronical waste

10. A special system for collection of refrigerators and freezers

11. A special system for collection and incineration of health care waste

12. Remediation of polluted soils

13. A special plant for recovery of construction materials-bricks, windows etc

14. A special subsidiary for the separation and recycling of concrete, asphalt, gravel etc

15. A special subsidiary for the recycling of waste paper, cardboard, cartons etc

16. Sysav Development Ltd for R&D

600 000 MWh energy produced annually

from200 000 tonsburnable waste

equivalent to approx 70 000 tons oil.

Energy from waste

The new Waste-to-Energy Plant

Waste provides electricity and heat

540 000 MWh of heat and 135 000 MWh of electricity will be produced annually.

Waste-to-Energy is an established and well functioning method for waste treatment and energy recovery.

Waste to Energy

There will be an increased need for waste incineration with energy recovery.

Conclusion:

There is only one objective for wasteincineration that is relevant in theEco Cycle Society and that is energyrecovery.

Conclusion:

Waste to Energy

Volume reduction is no more an objective even if it is an important parameter when comparing environ-mental impact.

Incineration is only justified when the method is at least as favourable as other recycling or recovery alternatives.

Conclusion:

Waste to Energy
