Waste ManagementINSTITUTIONS
INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
• Ministry of Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction (MEPPPC) (legislation / inspection) hazardous waste
• Croatian Environment Agency (CEA) (data, information system, reporting)
• Fund for Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency (economic instruments, co-financing projects)
• County offices non-hazardous/municipal waste
• City / Municipality Offices municipal waste
• Croatian Bureau of Statistics / Other state administration bodies / Croatian Cleaner Production Centre / Croatian Chamber of Economy / Companies producing, collecting, treating waste, laboratories, expert institutions, non-governmental organisations …
CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
• National Environmental Strategy 2002
• National Environmental Action Plan 2002
• Waste Management Strategy – 2005
• National Waste Management Plan – under preparation
• Waste Management Plan - county / municipal, town / waste producers
Waste ManagementPOLICY
CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
Waste Act - first 1995, newest 2004
Sub-acts:- Regulation on categories, types and classification of waste with the waste catalogue
and the list of hazardous waste (2005)- Regulation on Requirements for Handling Hazardous Waste (1998)- Regulation on supervision of transboundary movement of waste (2006)- Ordinance on Requirements for Handling Waste (1997) - Ordinance on Waste Types (1996)- Ordinance on Packaging and Packaging Waste (2005) - Ordinance on Waste tyres Management (2006)- Ordinance regarding the List of Legal and Natural Persons Carrying Out the Activity
of Export of Non-Hazardous Waste (2004)
Under preparation: sub-acts regulating waste oils, e-waste, end of life vehicles, health-care waste.
Party to the Basel Convention

- Multilateral / bilateral screening - Report under preparation
Waste ManagementHARMONIZATION WITH EU ACQUIS
CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
waste management –identified as major problem in environmental sector
• Legislation exist / enforcement problem • Lack of facilities for treatment/disposal • Share of separately collected fractions - too small• Waste is mainly directed to landfilling, however
– “official” landfills do not meet standards– numerous uncontrolled dumpsites
• Education / public awareness – insufficient • Data on waste quantities and waste streams – lack in quality/quantity
Last few years: Many improvements in the field of legislation, infrastructure, capacity
strengthening and instruments development (harmonization, new acts, landfills remediation, new organizations (Fund/Agency), economic instruments, infosystem)
Waste ManagementPROBLEMS
CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
Municipal waste ~ 1,3 mil. t (295 kg/inh) - increasing86% population covered in 2004 (57% in 1995) 8% (35) municipalities not coveredCollection&disposal charge– calculated on the basis of m2 floor area
Separate collection – second half of the eighties – containers (paper,glass,PET,tin cans) & recycling yards
48%paper, 42%glass, 10%other - 27.000 t (2004) - composting ~ 15.000 t Other – sent to landfills
Share of separately collected packaging waste - considerable increase in 2006, due to new Ordinance on Packaging and Packaging Waste (regulates the handling of PW, set producer responsibility scheme, introduces taxes)
Waste ManagementMUNICIPAL WASTE
CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
Waste management permits for collection or/and treatment of waste- 209 colectors of MW (only 70 permits)- 220 collectors of non-hazardous industrial waste (metal, paper/cardboard)- 180 exporters of non-hazardous waste, mostly metals- ~70 companies handling hazardous waste - 12 exporters of hazardous waste
Landfilling187 active landfills acting as “official”, most of them
– not complying with standards– not having necessary permits
Remediation proces – started for 167 location In the future – Regional centres for waste managment
Waste ManagementPERMITS, RECOVERY/DISPOSAL
CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
Waste Information System – part of Environmental Protection Information System
Legal basis
Croatian Environment Agency (CEA), task:• Data collection • Waste information system • Reporting
Waste Act and sub-laws – define data delivery obligations / procedures / content of info-system
Waste Information SystemPERMITS, RECOVERY/DISPOSAL
CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
Data bases:
Data and information on waste and waste flows:
COMPANIES (permits / registers)
FACILITIES / LANDFILLS
WASTE TYPES / QUANTITIES
(consignement forms, Waste inventory-KEO)
TRANSBOUNDARY MOVEMENT
DOCUMENTS /PROJECTS /LEGISLATION

CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
CEA project – started in 2004
GIS database containing data on 280 landfills (“187 official”):- Landfills as polygons- Photo base- Data for each location (w.quantities, w.types, permits, env.protection measures,
monitoring,...>100 attributes) -
GIS application available at CEA website – since Oct.2006
3 levels of access to application

Two Data Collection Systems, managed by:
1. Croatian Environment Agency
Waste inventory (KEO/waste) - administrative system set up in
waste legislation - 1998
2. Central Bureau of Statistics – statistical survey
Waste Information SystemAnnual data on waste
types/quantities
CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
Managed by Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS)
Basis: Law on Statistics and Annual Program of Statistical Surveys
Until 2004 - 3 surveys Year 2005 – 1 survey
June 2006 – data sent to EUROSTAT (Waste statistics regulation)
Waste Information SystemStatistical survey-Central Bureau of
Statistics
CROATIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
Mantained by the CEA according to:• Waste Act (procedure, obligations)
• Ordinance on Waste Types (forms)
• Regulation on the types, categories and classification of waste with the waste catalogue and the list of hazardous waste
• Ordinance on Environmental Emission Register (KEO)
Quality control
- quality/quantity of data not good enough to provide sound basis for reporting/decision making

Activities:• Improvement of the system (questionaires and procedures, software tools,
capacity and commitment on local level, QA/QC improvement)• Harmonization with EU standards is needed (Waste statistics regulation,
PRTR -Pollution and Release Transfer Register)• Avoid duplication of work:
- define roles of Croatian Environment Agency and Croatian Bureau of Statistics in waste data collection and reporting
- related to setting up new data delivery obligations in the proces of transposing directives on specific waste streams (packaging/tyres/weee..)
• Improve the availability of data to the public
Revision of the system- ongoing:
new Ordinance in preparation revision of questionnaires (proposal by CEA) new web-based application in preparation
