  1. PreventionSharing minds, changing life styles Jean-Jacques Dohogne – ACR+ Summer School course – San Sebastian July 2011

  2. Testing... • Who buys at least once a month organic or ecological products? • Who uses his reusable shopping bag 90% of times? • Who is printing both sides 90% of times? • Who is drinking tap water almost all the time? • Who is composting at home or in the community?

  3. Our consumption patterns...

  4. … makes that we are literally eating away our planet and leaving a huge waste pile

  5. Today • Think globally, Act locally! • Think Life Cycle, Close the Loop! • Sustainable consumption and production • Waste hierarchy, no trade off! • Waste prevention benchmarking is key! • Think globally, Act locally!

  6. Think globally, Act locally! • Think Life Cycle, Close the Loop! • Sustainable consumption and production • Waste hierarchy, no trade off! • Waste prevention benchmarking is key! • Think globally, Act locally!

  25. Treating waste as a resource 2030 targets considered in the EC Roadmap Resource Efficiency 2009 2030 Recycling & composting = 42% Prevention = 15% Prepare for reuse/Recycling& composting = 80/90% Waste hierarchy Incineration = 20% Flanders 2010 = 73% Landfilling = 38% Incineration = 5-10% Landfilling = 5 % Source: waste issues in the context of resource efficiency -Pavel Misiga (EU 2011)

  29. Is Spain producing above EU27 average MSW? Waste prevention EU 27 (2009)= 505 kg/inh/y Spain (2009)= 545 kg/inh/y

  30. We can reduce with 100 kg/inh/y!

  31. ACR+ -100 kg benchmark Waste generation EU 15 in kg/inh/y (with prevention) Waste generation EU 15 in kg/inh/y -100 kg or -15% Waste prevention 600 kg/inh/y 500 kg/inh/y

Waste hierarchy detailed Complete prevention of wastegeneration by reducingmaterialintensity in production & consumption A++ Strict avoidance Multiple use of a product in its original form, for its original purpose or for an alternative, with or withoutreconditioning Minimisingmaterialcosumption Wasteprevention Waste prevention A+ Reductionat source Reuse A

  33. Waste prevention as a multi-instrumental approach How? • Legal instruments • Economic instruments • Educational instruments • Communication tools • Technical instruments and technologies Why? • Resources (saving material and energy resources) • Climate change (reducing GHG emissions) • Socio-economic (creating sustainable jobs & lifestyles) • Financial (saving money) Waste prevention

  34. Think globally, Act locally! • Think Life Cycle, Close the Loop! • Sustainable consumption and production • Waste hierarchy, no trade off! • Waste prevention benchmarking is key! • Think globally, Act locally!

  35. Benchmarking? What? • “Systematic research into the waste prevention activity performances and the underlying processess and methods of one or more leading reference bodies in a certain field, and the comparison of one’s own performance and operating methods with these ‘best practices’, with the goal of locating and improving one’s own performance” Waste prevention cases
