The role of energy recovery from wastes in the decarbonization efforts of the EU power sector Constantinos S. Psomopoulos, Kyriaki Kiskira, Konstantinos Kalkanis, Helen C. Leligou, Nickolas J. Themelis,
Over the last few years, global energy demand has risen, and this trend is expected to continue. Almost all European Union (EU) countries are suffering from a shortage of energy services. Annually, EU fossil fuel energy production falls; for example, in 2014, gas production fell by 11.2% compared to 2013. Energy imports, especially natural gas, have increased as a result of lower energy output. The EU is still heavily reliant on fossil fuel imports (oil and gas), and the cost of EU energy imports in 2017 increased by 26% (€266 billion).

District Heating Supply from Landfill Gas in the Vaihingen District of Gündelbach, Germany
Nowadays everyone is aware of this fact: fossil fuels are limited and must be replaced by regenerative alternatives. This is also the reason for the lighthouse project Gündelbach district heating supply. The district was converted into a bioenergy village in which a large proportion of the inhabitants heat with district heating instead of oil.
Waste Recovery Project in Istanbul, Turkey
A new system for waste collection and separation was implemented in Istanbul which should support people in need, clean the streets and gain value out of recyclable materials.

WeiterGeben.org: Alternatives for the Unnecessary Disposal of Old School Furniture
In Germany every year an unbelievable amount of 100 million pieces of furniture is sorted out, most of which are sent to bulky waste and almost always end up getting burnt. This happens, although many goods are still in a good condition. The predominantly unnecessary disposal of waste mainly applies to private furniture, but also includes office and school equipment.

Mechanical-biological treatment plant (MBT) in Granada, Spain
The plant Ecocentral Granada was a renovation and an expansion of the old sorting and composting plant Loma de Manzanares. It is a hybrid plant, as it is able to process, with the same equipment and on different shifts, the organic fraction and the packaging waste. The plant was designed to achieve a capacity of 450.000 tons organic waste per year. In 2015 this plant processed 356.000 tons of organic waste and 8.100 tons of packaging waste.
Effects of human activities on solid waste composition in Tunisia Nour El Houda Chaher*, Mehrez Chakchouk, Abdallah Nassour, Moktar Hamdi
The current situation of the organic solid waste in Tunisian cities drew attention to the need of an appropriate and updated waste management model allowing to overcome the environmental concerns. Indeed, the generation of solid waste (SW) is related to various features of urbanization and rapid growth of population rates.
ZMS Zweckverband Müllverwertung Schwandorf
Conversion of a lignite-fired power plant into a waste-to-energy plant using the example of the ZMS Schwandorf, Germany
With the establishment of the Zweckverband ZMS Schwandorf 40 years ago and the associated decision to convert the existing lignite-fired power plant into a waste-to-energy plant, approx. 8.25 million tons of CO2 equivalents were saved in the period from 1982 to 2018.

AVA (Waste Treatment Augsburg), Germany - Energetic and Material Recycling Under One Roof Leads to Considerable Synergies
The waste management companies of the city of Augsburg, the district of Augsburg and the district of Aichach-Friedberg, Germany, are active around the clock for the approx. 1.2 million inhabitants in their disposal area. With the initial operation of a biowaste fermentation plant in 2013 and 2016, AVA has become one of Germany's largest players also in the field of material recycling. The reciprocal supplementation and interaction of the plant components result in extremely positive synergies.

Transfer Center of Kram, Tunisia
Transfer stations are of particular importance for the development towards sustainable waste management, as they are a precondition for closing and rehabilitating local dumps, which are often unsecured. ANGed is aware of this special importance and has realised different sizes and examples of transfer stations where the waste is reloaded depending on the expected quantity.

Composting of MSW in Salaj, Romania
The plant in Salaj, Romania uses the GORE® Cover Process Technology in order to compost the organic fraction from MSW whilst reducing odors and emissions. 6 GORE® Cover system units have been installed in 2015.
Optimization of food and green waste mixture ratios during the co-composting operation Nour El Houda Chaher*, Abdallah Nassour, Michael Nelles, Moktar Hamdi
The organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) reached currently 68% of the total waste generated in Tunisia. Thus, a biological treatment is needed. Composting is considered as an effective and sustainable technology from the perspectives of volume reduction, stabilization and releasing the pressure on landfills as well as making a valuable end-product.

Practices and Problems in MSW Management for Bio-Waste in Turkey E. B. Özkaraova Güngör, Assist. Prof. Dr. Hasan Sarptaş, Prof. Dr. Ertugrul Erdin
Regarding the integrated solid waste management in Turkey, tremendous efforts have been given to the transposition and implementation of related EU directives. The “By-law” on General Principles of Waste Management (05.07.2008), the “By-law” on Landfilling of Waste (26.03.2010) and many others have been enacted and the management of municipal solid wastes and other special and hazardous wastes has been improved.
