Confidentialilty Of The Position Clause

The management of waste as a resource!


public and I get an article written by the Waste PinucciaMontanari, national contact point of the green in this area.



resurfaces CIP6 deception, in a difficult situation such as that bell. Thanks to amendments to the green, and in particular the work of Camillo Piazza, Loredana De Petris, Angelo Bonelli, Grace Francis had finally walked toward the right direction. It was by removing a distortion that has caused 40 billion of funds CIP6 ended, 70%, similar to the sources defined. A resolution of the Interministerial Committee was the prices-1992 - introduced them by establishing an increase of 6% of electricity paid by end consumers, to promote renewable energy goal was to encourage the development of production sustainable energy, solar and wind power. Instead, thanks to a broad interpretation of the term "renewable" billions have gone into the coffers of companies whose energy production is far from renewable power plants, refineries, fed by waste incinerators. Fallen government has reversed course again thanks to an exclusive Ministry of Industry who returned the CIP6 incinerators Campania in the making.
are € 60 more in the bill not to promote energy from the sun or wind, but to encourage an additional gain from waste for the disposal of which citizens already pay heavy bills, not to mention the environmental price and health of a cycle of waste management, rather than address the problem upstream, he plans to solve it from the end of the cycle, ie the final stage of disposal. The waste could really become the Gold of Naples, but, first, it would be good to call no more waste, but "post-consumer materials. Even after being consumed and continue to be used on: plastic, glass, paper, organics, wood, aluminum, various metals, non-recyclable dry fraction. The waste cycle is not resolved except in the aspect of sustainability and respect for hierarchy indicated by the law: reducing, separate, recycle. For us this is very green clear. Where in Italy manage the delegation in green environment are obvious results in terms of recycling. And thanks to the Minister and his scientific collaborator Luca From the garden is off the main Italian group of Agenda 21 which deals with waste and has among its objectives the creation of an eco-door waste, on the Internet, public government and the drafting of a manual to activate the collection. ACRplus in Europe (Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling) has launched a campaign important for reducing the production of 100kg of waste per capita per year. In 'autumn 2008 during the French EU presidency, is program in the first edition of the European Week for waste reduction. Each local government will have to decline its specific commitment: how? If you enter the home composting reduces the production of undifferentiated waste of about 40 kg / inhabitant / year, then the use of eco-diapers, tap water, the use of multi-purpose bag and canvas, the packaging making, detergents on tap, the reuse of various materials are actions that involve a saving of up to 100kg, which, multiplied by the number of inhabitants of a city, saves land for disposing of waste (known today that the Stern report Average planetary space available to absorb sustainably waste and industrial waste and consumption, bio-productive space is 1.8 hectares per capita. 9.6 ne'assorbono Americans, Europeans 4.5. If the rest of the world want to reach these levels, three other planets would not be enough). The savings then it's cheap and for a city of 150,000 inhabitants to reduce the production of 100kg of waste per capita would save € 1 million in disposal (because now the cost of disposal varies from about 70 to 240 euro per tonne). Then the cycle of waste can be closed in a sustainable way if the post-consumer materials have come back to life: plastic bottles to produce pipes in agriculture, automobile interiors, objects, glass industrial ceramics, metals, and to make Ricicletta coffee, organic compost as against desertification, the newspaper again becomes paper, books and green procurement in the public service (compulsory by law for another - at least 30%). Finally, the final closure of the cycle should be done with cold systems, not incinerators through which simply turns the sound pollution in gaseous pollution, not to mention that 30% of the burning becomes ash (fly ash and bottom ash , still toxic and must be disposed of in special landfills or shipped to Germany as it looks to the incinerator of Brescia). As an alternative to the incinerator, the cycle of waste can be closed with the MBT. If virtuous reaches 70% of collection-you can show how many big-city even 30% of undifferentiated waste that remains can be further separated, getting back on, maybe lower-quality compost, even metals, etc.. At the end, a 6%, and stabilized, may be used as a basis for road foundations, as material for land reclamation and so on ... So it is not impossible, but absolutely feasible to reach the target waste 0. Europe is asking us to go in this direction but we need to invest in good practices amministratiive, supported from clear political decisions and technical experts in dealing with complex systems. In Italy there is a reserve of young people covering the whole extraordinary skills just waiting to be activated, the result of years of study, experience and work in universities and institutions. Not to mention that today in Italy as in Germany the business of recycling eco-efficient has a turnover of EUR 38 billion and is growing by 8%. Why do we continue to foolishly throw away these resources?
