Bulgaria has to set up proper waste management facilities
Managing waste properly is expensive, but if done efficiently it can attract investment and create jobs, says a resolution adopted by Parliament last month. The text addresses issues raised by citizens in the Petitions Committee to do with the enforcement of EU laws on waste management.
Major investments are required to set up proper waste management facilities, but more efficient waste processing provides opportunities for both employment and revenue enhancement. And the most important: respect for the environment through reuse, recycling and recovery of energy from waste.
Member States should apply all EU laws on waste management without further delay, and in particular the Framework directive on waste (2008/98/EC), which sets recycling, reuse and recovery targets and introduces national management plans and prevention programmes. The deadline for transposing the directive into national laws was December 2010, yet only six Member States have complied so far. In June 2011 Bulgaria received a last warning from EC to follow European regulations.
Parliament calls for measures to combat any infiltration of waste management by organised crime and to prevent any connections between criminal organisations and industry or public authorities. If public funds are allocated to companies to manage waste processing, "effective financial monitoring over the use of these funds should be put in place by local and/or national authorities", says the resolution.
The subject of waste management is an important part of the agenda of the forthcoming Conference & Exhibition Waste Management & Recycling which will take part March 28-30 in Sofia. More than 25 top-level speakers will give their perspectives on the waste management. Some of them are: Rachael Williams – International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), Austria, Peter Hodecek – AVE Energie AG Umwelt, Austria, Andy Whiteman – Wasteaware, UK/BG, Marta Gurin – Confederation of EU Waste-to-Energy Plants (CEWEP), Chindarat Taylor – Resource Efficency Pathway UK, Mario Grosso – European Network of Environmental Professionals (ENEP), Belgium, Guillaume Perron-Piché – European Suppliers of Waste-to-Energy Technology (ESWET), Belgium, and many others.
SARP Industries (VEOLIA)
Meeting the challenges
of waste recovery
A pioneer in its industry, SARP Industries combines all the expertise essential for processing and recovering special waste.
We guarantee total compliance with safety, environmental and health standards.
Because we believe that treatment and recovery are inseparable, we have set ourselves three objectives: to extract and recycle the «value component» from waste by developing new processes aimed at conserving natural resources;
recovering the energy potential contained in waste, while improving the efficiency of our processes; treating, containing and tracing the residual pollutant content in each waste material, so as to prevent any dilution or dispersion into the environment.
Our aim
To help you to limit your business’s ecological footprint
Our ambition
To transform your waste into a resource.

Ing. Bonfigliou SPA
The Ing. Bonfiglioli SpA started its cranes production in 1968, just before commencing the great industrialization period which falls down between the seventies and eighties. At the very beginning were manufactured only L series, (cranes which have lifting capacity upto 6 tons), but due to their good performance, stability and very competitive prices the Company was induced to widespread their production also to bigger cranes i.e. XL series. The cranes manufactured by Ing. Bonfiglioli Company are mainly produced to be mounted on trucks, but special supplies have been also effected to some navies in the world. Among its most important customers we can find: Italian Military Forces; Italian Police; English, Dutch and Greek Armies; Hong Kong Navies; UK Navies These models of crane may be equipped, upon request and just after verifying the feasibility, with special equipment such as: manual extensions, outriggers, control valve block fittings for extra elements, remote controls and so on. Furthermore, in 1986 Ing. Bonfiglioli SpA introduced on the market an innovative production range regarding metal recycling machines such as: balers to compact any kind of dismantled vehicles and metal scrap, shears to cut scrap bales or loose metal scraps, shredders to fragmentize plastic waste, wood and tyres and then mills to grind, with a special rotating hammers system, any kind of metal scrap and then separate the ferrous from non ferrous material. With this latter new production range Ing. Bonfiglioli SpA succeeded in widespreading its brand name not only all over Europe, but also in Latin America, North and South Africa, Eastern Countries and even in New Zealand. The success of these ecological machines is mainly due to:
- strong but very simple building;
- easy transport, being the majority of these machines mobile;
- low maintenance costs and consumptions;
- competitive prices.
Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants (CEWEP)
Metals Recycling from Waste-to-Energy bottom ashes contributes to a more “resource efficient’’ Europe
Collection of metals from bottom ashes of Waste-to-Energy (incineration) Plants can make an important contribution towards a more resource efficient Europe. The Packaging Group of the European Aluminium Association (EAA) and the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants (CEWEP) estimate that for the whole of Europe up to 200,000 tonnes of extra aluminium could be recycled each year from the bottom ashes, providing that more local waste management operators invest in the right separation equipment and that EU Member States take a more ambitious approach to prevent landfilling. In order to create a more resource efficient Europe it is essential to stop landfilling of recyclable and recoverable waste.
Due to the extra quantities of raw materials recovered from bottom ashes the aluminium companies and the Waste-to-Energy Plants actively contribute to a further reduction of the environmental impact of waste and thus help to improve Europe’s resource efficiency, using unavoidable waste as a valuable resource wherever possible. The extra amount of recycled aluminium would result into an additional greenhouse gas saving of 1.8 million tonnes per year, which is the equivalent of permanently removing 60,000 passenger cars from the roads1. Several European countries are already recycling the valuable parts of bottom ash, which is the residue from combusted household waste. The remaining ferrous and non-ferrous metals in the waste is extracted from the bottom ashes and recycled into new highly valuable products such as bicycles, window frames or aluminium castings for the automotive industry. Other remaining minerals are used as secondary aggregates, for example in road construction or in building products.
An increasing number of Waste-to-Energy Plants and bottom ash processors in countries like Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy are investing in the latest available sorting technologies, supported by the growing need for raw materials in Europe and the market prices for scrap metal.
The aluminium industry is happy to use these additional amounts of recycled material. However, both EAA and CEWEP stress that the preferred option remains the pre-sorting and selective collection of used aluminium packaging items such as beverage cans, aerosol cans and food containers. But if the non-sorted items end up in the household waste fraction sent for incineration, the combustion process helps to clean and separate the metals and inerts from the remaining waste. Further sorting and recycling of non-ferrous metals by using innovative combinations of eddy current and detection-ejection machines is possible and results into considerably higher metal yields. Typically one tonne of bottom ash contains between 10-15% ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including 15 to 20kg of aluminium.
Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants (CEWEP) represents Waste-to-Energy Plants across Europe. WtE Plants treat waste which remains after waste prevention and recycling producing energy from it.
