ABOUT SORTING TECHNOLOGIES: Case Study about a MSW sorting facility in Italy<\/p>\n

This report presents a mixed waste sorting facilities in Italy, Eco+Eco srl, based in Fusina, near Venice (Italy,) which converts residual municipal solid waste (MSW) after separated collection into Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) in two separated lines (L1 and L2). Part of the produced SRF is used to feed a co-incineration plant to generate electricity in situ. Metals present in the unsorted MSW are sorted out (7,700 ton\/year) and sent to recovery, while the aggregates (i.e., gravel, sand, glass, and ceramics) are at present either sent to reuse or to landfill. L1 produces only bio-stabilised waste (RDF, Refuse Derived Fuel), at present only partially treated in L2 to be upgraded to SRF of Class 3.3.2. according to ISO 21640:2021 \u201cSolid recovered fuels \u2014 Specifications and classes\u201d, while the remaining residual part is treated by other companies. The co-incineration plant is not able to take all the produced SRF which is also sold on the marked. From 2026, with the addition of a second co-incineration line, all the produced SRF will be use in situ. The SRF production plant is currently being revamped and it is expected that by the end of 2025 it will be able to sort out almost 6,000 t\/year of plastics from the income MSW, reducing landfilling of residues and fossil fuel consumption both avoiding plastic burning in the co-incinerator and material transport by trucks within and outside the plant.<\/p>\n

ENERGY FROM WASTE: Regional Sustainable Workshop Series<\/p>\n

In several places in the world, there is still a poor public perception of Energy- from-Waste systems. Lack of transparency during the decision-making process, not inviting residents and stakeholders to be part of the project, as well as lack of information exchange between the operators and the clients may lead to poor public acceptance. Developing scientifically based sustainability metrics to give a sound basis for the discussions might also facilitate greater acceptance. Further,\u00a0a proper decision framework integrating all the main aspects of sustainability (economy, environment and social) is an enabler\u00a0to ensure that the developed strategies are not sub-optimized in favour of short-term solutions.<\/p>\n

Between November 2022 and October 2023, IEA Bioenergy Task 36 organized three informative \u2018Regional Sustainability Workshops\u2019 on regionally relevant waste management systems with the participation of stakeholders to consider the most relevant sustainability indicators.<\/p>\n
