09-13. Local recycling and recovery of materials from solid wastes, including but not limited to plastics.

 

Small scale local recycling and recovery of materials from solid wastes, including but not limited to plastics, is a feature of integrated development projects. The quantities involved in any given integrated development project area may often be too small to justify an application under the CDM system. On the hand, projects in poor urban areas and in areas close to larger urban centres may wish to profit from labour intensive recycling of waste materials coming from the urban centres. Any recycling activity with a relatively high labour content may be suitable for this application.

 

Recovery and recycling of plastics materials is covered under methodology AMS-III-AJ . The methodology can be adapted for use with non-hazardous materials including glass, paper, metals, eventually used batteries, etc. as well as for plastics.  The CO2 savings are calculated by subtracting the energy used in the recycling process from the energy used to produce equivalent new material. The products being recycled must either have been manufactured in the host country or use raw materials (resins) imported from a non-industrialised (that is, a non-annex 1) country. Materials to be recycled can be obtained in a radius of 200 km from the recycling centre, and production using the recycled materials must take place within a radius of  200 km.

 

Definitions used in AMS-III-AJ  include :

 

Mechanical Recycling:

 

“Physical/mechanical processes by which recyclable materials e.g., HDPE and LDPE plastics are obtained from municipal solid waste by way of separation, cleaning and compaction/packing for further processing in order to produce intermediate/finished products to substitute virgin raw materials in an industrial production chain. The process may be accomplished manually and/or using mechanical equipment including one or more of the following measures: washing of the separated LDPE and HDPE materials with hot water, drying, compaction, shredding and pelletizing.”

 

Recycling facility:

 

“Facility (ies) where the recyclables in the municipal solid waste collected are sorted, classified and prepared into marketable commodities for processing/manufacturing in single or multiple locations.”

 

Processing/Manufacturing facility:

 

“includes industrial processes to transform recyclable materials obtained from recycling facility into intermediate or finished products e.g., plastic resin.”

 

It is difficult to make widely applicable hypotheses for activities for integrated development projects under this application. The average CDM value is therefore deemed to be zero for the purposes of indicative CDM income calculations.

 

This will be reviewed when the first real project applications are being drafted.
