Slide 16

Joburg Waste Summit 24-25 March 2015 Waste and Climate Commitments GOAL To move cities up the waste hierarchy through transformative, long lasting actions that can be implemented in a sustainable way, that are compatible with the local context and that are replicable through National policy support or through city to city collaboration. Expansion 50 cities by December 2015 150+ cities by 2020 1,000 cities by 2020 Leverage Replication through national level support and city to city collaborations Private sector engagement to mobilize resources to accelerate implementation Inspiring and catalyzing global action Measuring and communicating our impact and benefits Go beyond capture emissions to prevent them recycling, reduction at source

Slide 17

Joburg Waste Summit 24-25 March 2015 Johannesburg The city has embarked on minimisation strategies, recycling programmes and separation-at-source campaigns targeting households and commercial buildings In the process of converting five landfill sites from flaring to power generation, expected to produce 19MW. Looking to learn from other cities experienced developing waste management policies and strategies that address informal sector issues Leading community based programs for recycling and value added recyclables processing

Slide 18

Joburg Waste Summit 24-25 March 2015 Rio de Janeiro Working to improve leachate management at landfills to increase treatment capacity and LFG collection efficiency Working to evaluate alternative LFG utilization technologies, including direct use and vehicle use Implementing pilot program for voluntary organics collection from large generators for composting Working to optimize collection routes to increase service quality and reduce fuel consumption and associated GHG emissions Stated goal of increasing recycling efficiency. Looking at technology and community based approaches Caju Composting Facility Leachate Management Training Visit to Gramacho Landfill

Slide 19

Joburg Waste Summit 24-25 March 2015 Dar es Salaam Developing work plan to build an integrated waste treatment center, which includes composting, sanitary landfill disposal and LFG capture Focused in improving waste collection, transportation and disposal through socially inclusive strategies Looking to develop an integrated plan and legal framework to support the infrastructure development and private sector participation Plans to develop a landfill-gas to energy project and is interested in exploring energy technologies like waste to fuel and anaerobic digestion

Slide 20

Joburg Waste Summit 24-25 March 2015 Dhaka Engaged in a long term strategy to develop an integrated waste management system Clean Dhaka Master Plan Has achieved an increase in waste collection efficiency from less than 40% to more than 70% since 2005 Working with the CCAC/US-EPA to improve disposal processes and develop small community composting facilities and large facilities through PPPs Received capacity building training to Implement better landfill operation and maintenance Interested in WTE systems that can handle wet waste

Slide 21

Joburg Waste Summit 24-25 March 2015 Buenos Aires Developed a five-fold strategy to implement the waste reduction plan in the City Goals To treat 100% of waste prior to being sent to landfills To reduce overall waste sent to landfills by 83% by 2017 To achieve a recycling rate of over 65% by the end of the project To generate new employment opportunities Achievements Over 4,000 urban recycler jobs created Awareness campaign launched 44% reduction in waste sent to landfills Waste transfer stations have been installed Green Centers launched for recyclable materials, along with a Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) plant

Slide 22

Joburg Waste Summit 24-25 March 2015 Milan 1,200 household collection vehicles. 30% running on clean CNG Best integration of recyclables recovery, organics processing and energy recovery Successful implementation of transparent bag program for residuals collection Segregated organics collection operating in 42% of the City by 2013, 100% in 2014
