Provincial Waste Management Plan Styria - 2005 Construction 23 requires the builder to separate all generated waste volumes exceeding a determined quantity according to material groups and to keep records on the waste volumes generated. The applied qualifying quantities per construction activity are listed in Table 9. Material group Qualifying quantity per construction activity [t] Mineral construction waste 40 Concrete waste 20 Excavated soil 20 Construction site waste 10 Asphalt waste and road construction waste Waste wood 5 Waste metal 2 Waste plastic 2 Tab. 9: Qualifying quantities for the separate collection of demolition and construction waste The collection is mainly performed in containers of private waste disposal companies, which are placed directly at the construction site. Small waste quantities generated during renovation and home remodeling activities are also accepted in community waste material collection centers. 23 Federal Law Gazette No. 259/1991 5 Page 37
3.4 Waste treatment The climatic relevance of waste management Waste management is one of the prime sources of methane emissions in Austria and therefore significantly contributes to anthropogenically induced climate change. Austria is obliged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions until the target period 2008/2012 by 13% in comparison to 1990 by international agreements and by community law as a member state of the European Union. The reduction of climate-relevant emissions in the field of waste management is intended to contribute to the targeted reduction. In 1990 the greenhouse gas emissions from waste management amounted to the equivalent of 6.24m tonnes of CO2 for the whole of Austria. The goal Austria set for 2010 is to reduce the annual emission rate to the equivalent of only 3.7m tonnes of CO2. For the Austrian waste management industry, this corresponds to a reduction of greenhouse gases by the equivalent of 2.54m tonnes of CO2 compared to 1990. Thereby, the share of Styrian waste management approx. corresponds to the equivalent of 13% or 330,000m tonnes of CO2 24 . The Austrian Climate Strategy 25 provides a comprehensive package of measures for the field of waste management. It focuses on the complete implementation of the Landfill Ordinance and the provision of treatment capacities required in this context. 3.4.1 Mixed municipal waste (residual waste) In Styria, it was possible to dispose of residual waste directly at mass landfills without pre-treatment up until December 31 2003. Towards the end of the 1970s, so-called waste composting facilities and waste sanitation facilities were established at the sites Aich-Assach (AWV Schladming), Liezen (AWV Liezen), Frojach-Katsch (AWV Murau), and Allerheiligen (AWV Mürzverband). Originally, these plants were designed for the joint treatment of household waste and sewage sludge as well as for the production of recyclable sanitized compost and a biologically stabilized landfill fraction. After the landfill situated in Köglerweg in the City of Graz had been closed, the waste sorting plant in Sturzgase was opened in 1985, thus generating among others a waste fraction rich in calorific value and a landfill fraction from household waste. Due to a lack of downstream treatment and recycling plants, the municipal waste of the City of Graz was mainly landfilled until the end of 2003. The residual waste splitting plants in Upper Styria allowed the mechanical-biological waste treatment of around 25% of mixed municipal waste from community collection (residual waste) even before the implementation of the Landfill Ordinance. At the same time, the backlog in processing was successfully landfilled. The remaining 75% were passed on directly to the mass landfills (Fig. 18). Since January 1 2004, the direct disposal of untreated waste has been prohibited in Styria. Therefore, suitable methods and appropriate technical concepts which can be applied in order to meet the requirements of the Landfill Ordinance (Study "Residual waste splitting", publication series issued by FA19D, volume 9, May 1999, and study "Waste management model Styria 2004") were considered in time. Since Styria already had the infrastructure required for waste treatment, the implementation of an extensive concept for mechanical-biological residual waste treatment (MBT) was pursued. 24 Klimarelevanz der Abfallwirtschaft in der Steiermark ("Climatic relevance of waste management in Styria"), FA 19D, Fröhlich/Himmel (2000) 25 Austrian Climate Strategy 2002 to achieve the aims laid down in the Kyoto Protocol (1997). The climate strategy contains a package of measures to reduce emissions and focuses on the sectors energy generation, traffic, heat generation, industry, as well as agriculture, forestry, and waste management, BMLFUW (2002).
