Municipal solid waste production in Häme
| Focus:
|
Total amount of municipal solid waste produced in Häme
|
| Scope:
|
Describes annual municipal solid waste production in all over Häme and it's final destination in different parts of the providence
|
| Description:
|
Definition: Waste includes "all objects or substances which the holder discards, intends to discard, or is legally obliged to discard." Scope of waste disposal: municipal non-hazardous waste. D↷
There is three waste management companies in Häme:
Päijät-Hämeen jätehuolto Oy
- Kujala waste center is located in Lahti
- Population in Päijät-Hämeen jätehuolto Oy area of operation is ~199 000
Kiertokapula Oy
- Two waste centers; Kapula waste center is located in border of Hyvinkää and Riihimäki (wastes from southern parts of the company operation area) and Karanoja waste center in Hämeenlinna (wastes from northern parts of the company operation area)
- Population in Kiertokapula Oy area of operation is ~319 000
Loimi-Hämeen Jätehuolto Oy
- Kiimassuo waste center is located in Forssa
- Population in Loimi-Hämeen Jätehuolto Oy area of operation is ~115 000

Existing MSWI plants and current plans in southern Finland

Existing MSWI plants and current plans in southern Finland
| Focus:
|
Existing MSWI plants and current plans in southern Finland D↷
|
| Scope:
|
Existing and planned MSWI plants that could be optional for Hämeenkyrö MSWI (maximum distance of 250 km)
|
| Description:
|
Option 0 in the environmental impact assessment for Hämeenkyrö MSWI was not to build the plant but transport the waste to be burned elsewhere or landfilled.
Existing MSWI plant (capacity 50 000 t/a) is in Turku (since 1975), and more burning capacity is planned there for 150 000 t/a.
There are many plans for MSWI plants in the future. In Riihimäki the construction of 150 000 t/a plant has already begun and further away in Kotka there is environmental permit for an 80 000-100 000 t/a plant. Environmental permits were complaint about in Lahti, Kerava and Pori and that has interrupted projects for a while. In Jyväskylä and Seinäjoki environmental impact assessments has been done. In Virrat there was scenario about waste incineration, but that project has been interrupted. Also Helsinki Metropolitan Area Council (YTV) has decided to start planning a new MSWI plant, decisions about position, capacity and technique will be made in the near future.
Also co-incineration has been used for waste, even though the tightened legislation has reducing this technique. For example in Pietarsaari tests for burning RDF in existing plant (refuse derived fuel) with other fuels have been recently done (capacity earlier 80 000 t/a). D↷
Expert estimate for MSWI plants to come true during next years say that the most likely plants are in Turku, Riihimäki and more distant Kotka. Other possibilities on the grounds of situation are Lahti, Pori Jyväskylä and Seinäjoki.

Burning capacity of MSWI plant t/a
|
| Result:
|
On the grounds of location, the best possibility would be in Pori. Based on the capacity of burning waste, the most likely places seem to be Turku or Riihimäki.

Background of waste production and its relations to EU directive
Eva
EU legislation on waste incineration and landfilling.
| Focus:
|
Constraints on waste incineration and landfilling by EU legislation
|
| Scope:
|
Municipal waste. Landfill Directive (99/31/EC). Incineration Directive (2000/76/EC)
|
| Description:
|
Related to MSWI: Directive objective is "to prevent or reduce, as far as possible, air, water and soil pollution caused by the incineration or co-incineration of waste, as well as the resulting risk to human health." Limit values for incineration plant emissions to atmosphere in Annex 1. Limit values for co-incineration plant emissions to atmosphere in Annex 2. "The quantity and harmfulness of incineration residues must be reduced to a minimum and residues must, as far as possible, be recycled." (1)
Related to Landfill: "The Directive is intended to prevent or reduce the adverse effects of the landfill of waste on the environment, in particular on surface water, groundwater, soil, air and human health." It introduces stringent technical requirements for waste and landfills. "The Directive sets up a system of operating permits for landfill sites. (2)

Related to MSWI: Air emission limit values for the incineration and co-incineration of waste. (1)
Related to landfill: List of technical requirements. (2) Targets to reduce landfilling of biodegradable municipal waste (garden waste, kitchen waste, park waste, paper, cardboard) to 75% of 1995 levels by 2006, 50% by 2009 and 35% by 2016.(3)

All waste disposal installations or areas are submitted to EU legislation and should comply with the imposed standards, limit values. When establishing a new installation or landfill, the application requirements should be carefully considered.
