Document on waste planning coordination territorial Democratic Party di Pisa

The theme of the production and management of the integrated cycle of waste is returned to the forefront of national news and local
because of the emergency bell and proposals
also in our province for the installation of thermal treatment of municipal waste and industrial
. This is a subject of considerable importance and delicacy,
source of many social conflicts, the policy must be able to govern
developing system solutions that are able to hold together the different aspects of policies (environmental policies, economic policies,
territorial government, public services) linked to this sector.
Our Province, along with other Coast grouped in the AAR, has started the procedures for the preparation of plans
inter-municipal and special waste. In addition, a few months also
Region will issue the guidelines on which to build the next regional plan for waste.
With this document, the Provincial Directorate of Pisa PD aims to provide an address and
to follow when planning, but also provide a framework for the months that still separate us
approval and entry into force of these plans.
The theme of the production and waste management linked to the development model: up to now
waste production has been associated with growth of the economy, so it was
unanimously accepted the idea that at higher growth rates corresponded
inevitably produce more waste, according to an interpretation of "metabolism" of growth. The model
development that has emerged after World War II was based on an assumption that has proved
terribly wrong: the presumption of infinite availability of natural resources.
economic changes, technological change, urban expansion: everything has relied on this
taken up to bring the situation present, characterized by a severe ecological crisis, a
scarcity of resources (among other things held by a minority to the detriment of a world more
poor majority) and an unbalanced energy presents us think the urgency of new policies
of development. Faced with this crisis have developed the thesis that theorized the need to decrease
restore the ecological balance, and thus to produce less waste (already
declared objective of European legislation).
We believe that the solution can not be the renunciation of growth opportunities. We think that a modern left party
reform should aim at not
growth but the development is qualified in many respects, including the environmental, social and economic
, giving representation to the productive segments of society and knowing redirect
growth dynamics according to a new paradigm of progress.
Need a change of approach, which affects the development model and through proper planning
can interpret more accurately the European strategy and its scale of priorities,
being able to transform what is now a problem (waste) resources in , from the point of
economically. The objective is to separate development from increased production of waste
any general.
In terms of environmental protection and the main human health requires a commitment of
institutions, research centers, organizations and agencies to ensure that the planned
solutions are safe and without impacting that do not add to that the total load that
different territories have known and familiar to the environment.
must also be ensured that these characteristics remain constant throughout the period of operation of plants,
through a program of continuous monitoring and strict, and that are set aside adequate resources to manage periods
"post mortem" of plants, particularly landfills. In this sense we must
used all the tools to identify and quantify the possible impact that these solutions can have
from those stipulated by the legislation (EIA, SEA,
impact assessment related to the European Union Habitats Directive, Integrated Assessment) to
experiment with new instruments and in other parts of our country and the Union
are used, such as Health Impact Assessment (VIS). Besides these instruments
preliminary assessment, however, also need a real commitment to strengthen the institutions
control system: for this reason it is important to confirm and strengthen our presence
dell'ARPAT territory, particularly in areas of high concentration
industrial and environmental burden, strengthening its monitoring tools to protect the environment and health
.
98/2008/CE The European Directive, transposed from Italy a few weeks ago, continues and renews the
general guidelines to which individual countries should and must follow
policies in the management of waste. Among the main items on which the legislation focuses are precisely the principles
reduction, preparation for reuse, reuse and recycling, energy recovery even (
legislation establishing minimum requirements for the recognition of what can be classified as such: It must be
ensure the achievement of a minimum factor of efficiency), while considering the marginal
landfill. We believe there is a need to strengthen this address in the next drawing up plans
: entrusting the landfill a residual role in relation to other instruments
cycle management of waste as are the less virtuous and more
impacting on the environment, as well as being the solution that discourages all forms of behavior
aware of citizens, public agencies and businesses with the objectives of differentiation,
recycling and recovery. It is therefore necessary to implement policies based on a European strategy focusing primarily
waste reduction, in quantity and danger, and setting goals not only separate but also
targets for recycling, reuse and recovery of what we differentiate.
To achieve these goals focusing on increasing recycling and home
on a system of differentiation of the production of waste should be a program that rests on an adequate allocation
plant.
municipal solid waste (where there is an urgent careful review of municipal regulations on similar)
would be a nonsense to continue to encourage public bodies and individuals to higher performances
different if the plants are unable to accommodate the various segments products. For this
the existing waste management Extraordinary Plan provides for the strengthening and modernization of Geofor
composting plant at Pontedera Gello and Interprovincial
new plan must include the provision of a single new energy plant to be achieved at Livorno
and the simultaneous closure of the current waste-disposal and Pisa, Livorno
(Picchianti), Castelnuovo Garfagnana and possibly di Pietrasanta. The plan must therefore also offer inter-
scenario clearer than the short term, indicating how
support the effort to bring existing facilities (especially for
Ospedaletto our province) will be to support the integrated management in
phase that separates us from the realization and since the incinerator of Livorno.
The programming cycle of waste should be taken into account together with the short-term strategies
and those of medium to long term. The instruments of the plan which even our province within
wide coastal area, you will provide will therefore provide concrete strategies and actions for
reduction of waste production, and at the same time ensuring an adequate response to
medium-term needs - and the amount of waste that is otherwise not possible to recover or recycle
- By providing a network of disposal and energy recovery plant (
aimed to the creation of district heating networks serving the community), and thus allowing
this area to respect the principles of self-sufficiency and proximity, both in the field of municipal waste
and in the special waste. Figures recently released by the Centre Provincial
tell us that the amount of waste has grown, albeit with a more incremental index
lower than a few years ago. This means that the determinations contained in the draft
plan adopted in 2004 (where it was said that the existing plant equipment was able to respond
the requirements) are no longer valid and should therefore be a commitment in two directions: on one side in pursuit
more convinced of measures to reduce waste production, and other
in predicting short-term network adequate to meet plant current and changing needs
Disposal (new plants and modernization of existing ones).
The recycling of major waste fractions different from organic (paper, glass, plastic, metal, wood
) should be encouraged further by creating the conditions for more
marketability of products. The program will develop a strategy designed to encourage research
(through agreements with the system of research centers on our territory, involving also the
CNR) and the subsequent trial (through protocols with major
cheaper) products that have a lower rate of obsolescence of existing ones, and are reusable or
however, made with easily recyclable materials. The goal is to make
more competitive (in terms of both quality and cost) products made from raw materials
second. Another is to enter into agreements with retailers and set concrete targets for the reduction of all forms of
packing, passing same provisions in the decree transposing Directive
98/2008/CE. Similar agreements will be reached with associations
construction companies regarding the production and recovery of waste from construction and demolition
. The plans must also provide specific targets for local authorities as regards

growth and consolidation of a "district" of recycling (estimates provided by FISE Combine - business recovery -
and the Foundation for Sustainable Development tells us that despite the decline due to the crisis
prospects development for key areas of recycling are positive).
In the field of special waste, as the distinction between urban and special needs
is artificial and a more precise distinction in terms of legislation as a party that should be promoted at national level
, we believe that even in the absence of a specific regulatory requirement planning , and in a context that relies
the cycle of the special free market is a necessary and essential
planning that takes into account the interests of the territories and communities, which would identify
necessary guarantees and forms of control, to avoid the proliferation indiscriminate solutions, but instead promotes an integrated

. It is therefore necessary to strengthen policy guidance and coordination between the various bodies and
between the different planning tools in order to provide adequate responses to the needs of
main productive sectors of the territory, thereby avoiding significant additional costs

industrial waste continues to increase, a figure that covers the whole Tuscany
less the province of Pisa has a strong industrial production and recording of
about 1.2 million tonnes of waste per year. All the more reason to waste special, just a policy
able to exploit the complementarity rather than confrontation between the different technological solutions
, it is able to effectively respond to the treatment of waste in line with the
and regulatory framework of the European directive 98 / 08. In particular it is necessary to affirm the idea that
various forms of exploitation, both through direct and indirect materials recovery
through energy recovery, help to achieve the main objective of a policy
sustainable waste management, capable of create added value for the system
productive and at the same time reduces the maximum flows for the
landfill. Our goal, therefore, also in the field of special, is to draw
scenarios and solutions that ensure the achievement of the reduction, recycling and recovery
provided by the European and at the same time allowing the control and traceability throughout the
treatment cycle. In this sense, we believe it is appropriate to give priority to solutions
plant in which the public entity is involved (even in this area where the law does not require
- but not prohibit - the use of this type of solution) or alternative solutions that
consortium demonstrate the real existence of a requirement that is not answered. This helps

possibility of redistribution to the community of the leading profit margins that
record in this area.
should also be taken into account in the determination of criteria for the location of the plant. This is the node
most difficult to address because it often creates the appearance of bitter social conflict fueled by
also legitimate fears and concerns of the people involved. In this sense, the
Democratic Party supports the testing of instruments of involvement
and promotion of active citizenship that other municipalities of our province
adopted in decision-making on complex and sensitive issues such as these, according
methodologies are now well established in many countries of Europe, against which the PD has
its reflection and its determinations, considering those places gyms useful for comparison and
formation of critical consciousness and awareness of the most delicate matters pertaining to government
of our territories and the challenges for a different development model, all subjects
that can not remain the exclusive property of technicians, policy makers, or committees.
Criteria for the location of the plant (for the urban and industrial) must be set
with the goal of creating a plant system really effective and easily manageable, so the less fragmented
possible. Plans will be expected to decline target
self within a logic of differentiation and specialization of the total territorial
plant. We believe it is necessary to promote planning
plant that takes into account the needs of the various productive sectors of our province and
that attempts to meet the needs of treatment / recovery / disposal of the various and specific situations
production of the territory of Pisa, also affect positively on their competitiveness
. At the same time the plan will reiterate and affirm the principle of territorial concertation
even in those areas where the law leaves room for maneuver to private enterprise,
because we think that the issue of waste management has value and public relevance, so
any private company will also bring forward its own proposals within a dynamic solutions to prevent
concertation "solo" which might
not take into account the complexity of the issue and its social impact. In this respect the experience of our government
in one of the areas of high population density and industrial (the district
leather in Valdarno) confrontatesi always compatible with the themes of development,
shows over the years, including both established and logic to rationalize plant
(respondent only criteria of economic management but also greater control of the real
impacts and management itself) and the gradual achievement of a substantial self-sufficiency
respect to the production needs of the district: they have signed agreements more advanced than what was
current legislation, ensuring sustainable development and employment even under
environmental, within a social contract based on prior consultations among all parties
defending the collective interest (development and employment) and at the same time
ensure public health, environmental protection and natural resources.
In this context, the two projects are part of the plant for treating industrial waste
subject of public debate in Pontedera and Castelfranco. These are two profoundly different in many respects
which will therefore be subject to different assessment: while the dissociation
Pontedera is a project put forward by Ecoforservice, public companies, the draft
pyrogasification Castelfranco is advanced by the company Waste Recycling
that it is a private entity. From the point of view of the size and potential volume of shares traded (400 t / d for the
dissociator, 30 t / d for the pyrogasification) comparison of the two projects confirms the need to provide a budget
the plant can be less fragmented, thus favoring
solutions oriented to the centralization and dispersion of small plants scattered throughout the territory (in terms of social conflicts
the small size of the plant does not benefit sensitive).
addition, the two plants are part of a production environment and plant significantly different. In
Era, the current landfill for special Gello which is the main plant
disposal of industrial solid waste in the province of Pisa is being phased out. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe leather
supplied plant serving the District has achieved a high degree of specialization and
very high levels of self-sufficiency, especially as regards the most
conspicuous waste of the tanning industry (water, sludge, chromium and other waste as fleshing)
respecting the principle of proximity through a plant that supplied over the years has sort
through collaboration between manufacturers and public bodies, and which now has - among others - plants
consortium capable of treating waste from the tanning industry, but also
waste from other areas of the province and beyond, establishing itself as the area
specialized in the field of purification and sewage treatment, which today are a major
percentage of the total quantity of waste in our own province. The project to develop the so-called
"Tubone" is just the latest demonstration of how the area is engaged for decades in
specialization of the treatment of that particular type of waste and has in fact become a "pole" of
importance of supra-purification (In this regard, it should be
also addressed the issue of disposing of sewage sludge to be civil, now do not fit in the current budget
plant - which increased the cost of disposal which inevitably has an impact on rates
users - identifying appropriate solutions here).
In light of the foregoing, the Provincial Directorate of the Democratic Party believes that these are the
principles and objectives which directed the preparation of planning instruments:
1. anticipation of actions aimed to decrease the production of waste, its reuse or recovery
through the promotion of agreements with the research for testing and production
less obsolescent materials and reusable, with the great
distribution companies in the construction industry, the world of production to achieve the objectives of
differentiation and recycling of material;
2. prediction of specific recycling targets as well as differentiated, with the commitment of local authorities
to increase the share of green purchasing;
3. estimates of the excess of the landfill system and the gradual closure of
those currently on our territory, identifying solutions, environmentally, socially and economically sustainable
;
4. forecast of a budget-oriented plant engineering and maximum security specialization
plane impact on environment and health, also used for the recovery and energy recovery from waste
and this program should be avoided,
fragmented, saying instead the principle of territorial differentiation of the plants,
in order to identify real "poles" specialize in treating different types of waste
within our area;
5. focus through the various planning tools, system solutions that provide for the involvement of the actor
public can ensure greater transparency and
process control, and enhance the role, presence and the tools available to agencies and institutions
responsible for monitoring of impacts and protection of environment and health.
6. concerning the identification of the unique subject of integrated waste management cycle, it
takes a positive view on the path of corporate restructuring Geofor
Spa And we hope that it is taken every opportunity to enhance the wealth of experience, professionalism and the
same levels of employment in the sector, putting the company in a position to compete successfully at the time of custody
management.

So in this sense we believe to be approved prior to completion of inter-related plans
- who are still quite a timetable long, taking into account the possible impact
that the promulgation of the guidelines will have on the preparation of regional plans
interprovincial - an act of the provincial address to guide the choices in this period
vacatio.
