1 Scope of the work. Introduction
1.1 Waste Management Sector Review (Executive summary)
With approx 21 mil inhabitants, Romania is the second largest market in Eastern
Europe and the 7th largest in the EU. Romania is also the EU member state with the
second lowest GDP per capita, 46% of the EU-27 average, but registered a strong
growth over the years preceding the economic crisis.
Benefiting from EU funds and government’s commitment, the waste management
sector in Romania is expected to develop at a high pace in the coming years. As part
of its EU commitments, Romania has to meet some ambitious targets related to
waste management – for instance, to increase the percentage of population served
by sanitation companies to 84% by 2013 and to 100% by 2017 (up from 54% in
2009) – to build approx 40 sanitary landfills and to implement integrated waste
management systems within 33 counties, to close approx 100 landfills which are not
compliant and to increase the waste recovery and recycling to 60% and 55%
respectively by 2012, against the targets of 2007 which were of 34% and 28%
respectively. The latest available data show that in 2008 less than 10% of municipal
waste was recovered, one of the reasons being the limited selective collection, of
only 4%. The Romanian market for waste management equipment is therefore
expected to offer interesting business opportunities across sectors and technologies.
Approximately 1 bln EUR, EU co-funded resources, have been allocated for the
implementation of the integrated waste management systems at county level for the
period 2007 - 2013 and, according to industry experts, an estimated 300 mln EUR
will be invested over the period 2014 - 2019. Until 2013 the waste management
programs will be financed through Sectorial Operation Program (SOP Environment),
under priority axis 2.1 ”Development of integrated waste management and waste
management infrastructure expansion”.
The total market for waste management equipment and technology was
conservatively estimated to 50 mln EUR in 2008. After the slowdown during 2009 -
2010, the market is expected to pick up in 2011 and to further increase at about 80
mln EUR around 2017.
Waste collection
The main categories of waste collection equipment produced locally are: containers
and euro-containers, mobile compactors and collection vehicle bodies. The
equipment is of relatively good quality, but is rather limited in terms of complexity
and diversity. However it is available for prices that are, in average, lower with 20 -
30% compared to imported equipment. Among the local producers of such
equipment can be mentioned: Consat Beius, Euro Body (part of Cefin Group), Avaco,
Electromec SA, Adarco Invest. Significant part of equipment supply (from Italy,
Germany, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Turkey etc) is provided by importers /
distributors. Among importer distributor companies can be mentioned: Gradinariu
Import Export, Euriteh, Cefin Group.
As regarding the demand, briefly, it can be pointed that waste collection should
improve considerably in case of municipal waste. Selective collection and
construction of sanitary landfills represent some of the important priorities until
2017, therefore demand for waste collection equipment (vehicles, bins, containers,
compaction vehicles, transfer stations etc) is expected to increase significantly over
the coming period. A conservative estimation for the period 2011 - 2013, indicates
that the total demand would exceed 30,000 units for containers, 200 compaction
vehicles, and 70 transfer stations.

Waste processing (including recycling)
The way in which waste processing (including recycling) is organised in Romania is
presented in section 2.1.2. While the paper / cardboard and metal waste
management systems are the most developed, the glass recycling is problematic.
However, there are pressures to meet the recycling targets and a first step is
represented by planned investment in 2013 in approx 1,500 containers for selective
glass collection. Challenging recycling targets to be met are defined also for WEEE,
batteries, packaging materials, ELV used tyres, used oils, hazardous waste etc.
As regarding equipment supply, sorting stations represent an important component
of processing equipment supply. There are few local producers manufacturing waste
processing equipment and they are mainly offering solutions for sorting stations.
Can be mentioned: Adarco, Avaco, Tehnix, Ecologing, Dragonara 93. Most of the
supply is covered by imported equipment, market being dominated by German,
Italian and Austrian companies, but imports are made even from Taiwan and China,
like baling equipment and incinerator plant. Scandinavian companies are also
present. Among most important importers and distributors can be mentioned:
Schuster, Ropeco, Iridex, Euriteh, Romedio, Lampero, Dragonara 93, EKO Linea,
Usitall AB.
Waste disposal and related processes
Sanitary waste disposal is the segment of waste management that requires the
highest investment and the most urgent actions. As regarding incineration the
situation is as follows: a) for municipal waste, the process is quite limited as it is
only now that investment is made for building up the first municipal incinerator in
Romania (in Bucharest) and there is interest in building some other incinerators in
major cities such as Brasov b) for hazardous waste co-incineration is the most
common process. Industry experts predict a high potential for this segment for the
coming years. According to the current legislation, all sanitary landfills must have
biogas recovery systems, but, so far, there are very few that are operational in
Romania. IRIDEX is one of the most important companies that have made significant
investment in biogas recovery systems. Presently there are not special incentives
offered to stimulate the investment in producing and further use the compost,
reducing accordingly the biodegradable waste. The situation is expected to improve
in the next years when, according to EU commitments, Romania is expected to
reduce the landfilled biodegradable waste and production of local compost is
expected to increase.
The research has identified very few local companies providing specialised
equipment such as: Ecologing, Meson Composting Bacau. Foreign equipment is
coming mainly from Germany, Italy, France, some Dutch technology suppliers have
been identified as well.
Significant demand is expected for: geo-synthetic materials, sensors, biogas caption
and recovery systems, composting areas (shredders, conveyor belts etc), MBT
(mechanical biological treatment) equipment (front loaders, turning machines etc),
leachate treatment systems, shredding and compacting equipment, recycling
facilities (for packaging waste material as glass, plastics, wood and batteries). As
regarding incineration equipment, investment in treatment facilities for hazardous
waste is expected to be relatively high, particularly in the treatment of PCB & PCT
waste and batteries. More details are available in chapter 2.1.3.2.
By 2017 Romania has to build the basis of a modern waste management system,
therefore significant investment will be allocated to selective collection, sorting
stations and landfills including composting stations. After 2017 it is expected that
the demand for more advanced waste management technologies and solutions will
increase significantly, such as incinerators for municipal waste, biogas recovery
systems, technology for recycling ELV (end of life vehicle), packaging waste,
construction and demolition waste, batteries etc. Some key information /
Page 8 of 72
conclusions on most promising products, trends on demand, as well as on main
categories of buyers, are presented in chapter 3.1.
Among the key success factors that a Dutch supplier should consider when entering
on the local market can be considered: improve market awareness / knowledge of
the Dutch equipment and technologies through adequate marketing and promotional
tools, offer complete solutions including attractive financial solutions and technical
assistance support, develop partnerships with local partners or long-term co-
operations with ”well known contractors”, in order to have a better access and
higher chances of success for participating in and winning important tenders. More
recommendations are presented in chapter 4.1.
So far, the Romanian market for waste management equipment was price sensitive;
however the attitudes to quality are expected to improve, since the increasing
regulatory pressure is requiring more efficient waste management technologies. The
industry experts met during the research foresee a good demand potential for Dutch
equipment and technologies perceived as being high standards and reliable solutions
for waste management sector.
1.2 Target Research and analysis
Background
The aim of the current research is to improve access to relevant information for
Dutch companies (equipment, technology and consulting suppliers) interested in the
Romanian waste management market and, accordingly, to strengthen their position
on the local waste collection and processing market.
There have been investigated three main sub - sectors: waste collection, waste
processing (including recycling) and related processes (waste disposal, landfill gas
recovery and incineration). Key specific areas of interest covered by the research
are:
• How is the waste management sector organised and what are the main
developments, including data about the following aspects: the market supply
of equipment (quantity and quality); the demand of
equipment/technology/inputs; the key players
• Which are the opportunities on the Romanian market: the most demanded
products, the main buyers and their purchasing policies. Key success
conditions for Dutch companies to gain success, available EU Funding in the
area of the three sub-sectors
• Supplement: recommendations for new market entrants; list of useful
contacts; list of relevant tenders
Methodology
The research was conducted during the period November 2010 – January 2011. It
was based both on desk research (local business data base; internet directories and
relevant sites, publications, reports and Larive data base) as well as on primary data
collection including:
• 10 face to face interviews with industry experts, key players from waste
management sector (representatives of relevant authorities, of waste
management operators, of relevant organizations and consulting companies)
• 5 face to face interviews with importers and / or local producers of
equipment
• 7 telephone interviews with representatives from County Councils -
Department of Acquisition from the following counties: Vrancea, Giurgiu,
Arad, Sibiu, Mures, Covasna, Bistrita-Nasaud, for identifying the future
relevant tenders (supply and TA contacts) in the area of waste management
• 25 questionnaires sent to companies that are users/buyers of equipment
followed, in some cases, by telephones discussion with reps of this
companies( especially due to the fact that the rate of response to
questionnaires was of only 40% - reasons mentioned for non responding
were mainly related to confidentiality)
Page 9 of 72
All key contacts are listed in Annex 7.
The present Waste Management Market report aims to strengthen the position of
Dutch companies on the Romanian market by offering insights on: the supply and
demand for equipment, the key players of the market (out of which some of them
could become potential local partners for Dutch companies for increasing their
success chances on local market), the existing opportunities and challenges as well
as on the available EU funds that are important financing sources for projects in the
next years.

2 Structure of the Romanian Waste Management
2.1 Waste management sector brief overview: legislation, strategy, authorities,
organisation
Country overview
With 21,482,395 inhabitants (latest data available from 2009), Romania is the
second largest country in the Eastern Europe, after Poland, and the 7th largest in the
EU, which makes it a potentially interesting market for waste management
solutions. The population has been declining from a maximum of 23,207,000 in
1990 and is forecasted to reach 21,087,159 in 2013, mainly due to a lower birth
rate and intensified emigration, especially after the EU accession in 2007.
Approx 37% of the population lives in dense urban areas (more than 50,000
inhabitants) and, at a total surface of 237,500 km2, the population density is of
approx 90 inhabitants per km2. This relatively low population density, combined with
the fact that 48% of the population lives in rural areas (the proportion is expected to
slightly increase) and the relatively poor road infrastructure, makes waste collection
and transport, particularly of domestic waste, rather challenging.
Romania is organized in 41 counties, with 265 municipalities and cities, and is
divided in 8 regions – 40 counties are grouped in 7 regions, while Bucharest and the
surrounding county of Ilfov represent the 8-th region. This administrative
organisation is relevant for regional development strategies; the plans for the
implementation of national waste management strategy are also developed at
regional level, while the implementation is the responsibility of the county councils
and municipalities.
Romania is the EU member state with the second lowest GDP per capita which,
according to Eurostat, in 2009 represented 46% of the EU - 27 average in
Purchasing Power Standards (PPS) and reached approx € 8,800. The reduced
purchasing power has reflected also in a low level of taxes and fees which can be
supported by the population and by the companies for waste management services,
with direct impact on the profitability of such services. Not surprisingly, the
Romanian market is relatively price sensitive also when it comes to waste
management equipment. That is why the recycling technologies introduced in
Romania from ’90s are low - tech, resulting in small added value on the obtained
materials and / or secondary raw materials.
Legislation & Strategy
In the preparation for the accession to the EU in 2007, the Romanian legislation has
been aligned to the EU legislation on waste management and is currently being
implemented. The National Waste Management Strategy (NWMS) was developed by
the Ministry of Environment and Water Management (MEWM) for the period 2003 -
2013, followed by the elaboration of the National Waste Management Plan (NWMP),
based on the European and national legislation; the National Waste Management
Plan is revised every 5 years.
For the implementation in 8 development regions of the National Waste Management
Plan, Regional Waste Management Plans (RWMP) have been issued, with a view to
develop and implement an integrated waste management system, economically and
ecologically efficient. Targets to comply with National and EU objectives and
including projections for the necessary investment in equipment and facilities have
been set up in the RWMP.
The waste management legislation in Romania is in line with the acquis
communautaire. In the process of negotiating the access to EU, Romania obtained
Page 11 of 72
transition periods until 2017 for certain waste types, in order to comply with EU
Directives as follows: municipal landfills - transition period until 2017, temporary
storage of hazardous industrial waste - 2009; industrial waste landfills - transition
periods until 2013. Between 2011 and 2013, 75 non - compliant landfills are still to
be closed. In accordance with the Accession Treaty, Romania needs to ensure the
gradual reduction of waste stored in the 101 municipal landfills which do not comply,
by capping the maximum quantities stored annually as follows:
• by end 2010: max. 2 900 000 t;
• by end 2011: max. 2 740 000 t;
• by end 2012: max. 2 460 000 t;
• by end 2013: max. 2 200 000 t.
According to Directive 1999 / 31 / EC and Government Decision 162 / 2002,
Romania must reduce the quantity of biodegradable municipal waste deposited
annually, as compared with 2001 (in weight), to 50% till 2010 and to 35% till 2017.
Other periods of transition have been obtained for some targets in the field of
packaging waste by 2013, aimed at significantly reducing the amount of waste to be
stored.
The Romanian legislation is currently in the process of being revised in the light of
the second European framework directive on waste 2008 / 98 / EC and it is expected
to be finalised by2011. The horizontal legislation, the National Strategy for Waste
Management, the National and Regional Plans for Waste Management will also be
revised to extend beyond 2013, mainly with a view to improve recycling and to
reposition the obligations of the stakeholders so that the waste management
becomes more economically efficient. BAT (Best Available Technologies) guides are
also expected to be drafted, which will more likely help to raise the demand for
higher quality equipment on this currently price sensitive market.
Authorities
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is the key player with responsibilities for
policy and legislation in the field of environment, including waste management
component. Other authorities and organisations in the sector are: the National
Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA), the National Regulatory Authority for
Municipal Services (NRAMS), and the National Guard for Environment. NEPA is
involved in the strategic planning for environmental protection and implementation
of the legislation and is responsible with authorising, monitoring and reporting
related to the economic activities with an impact on the environment. NRAMS is
mainly responsible with regulation and authorising the sanitation services, while the
National Guard for Environment has responsibilities in the law enforcement and
control. All these authorities are represented at regional and local level. The
Environment Fund Authority (EFA) collects to the fund for environment the
environment taxes and fines and is managing the environment fund by co-financing
specific environmental projects. Local Public Authorities (LPA’s) are important
stakeholders in the waste management sector, being responsible for drafting local
strategies and investment plans. In the context of EU programmes available for
waste management sector, the LPA’s (through the County Councils) are the
applicants and the beneficiaries of the large scale programmes implemented at
regional level. The LPA’s are encouraged to establish partnerships / associations
named Intercommunity Development Associations (IDA), for running and
implementing the integrated management systems programs.
Waste management systems
Municipal waste‘s collection, transport and disposal is the obligation of the local
public administration, either under own management or outsourced to operators
(see details in chapter 2.1.1). Recycling is not so well developed and is under
responsibility of private operators. Latest NEPA data show that in 2008 around 7.37
million tons of municipal waste have been collected, out of which less than 10%
have been recovered. Considering also the fact that in 2008 only 54% of total
population was served by sanitation companies for waste collection, Romania is
Page 12 of 72
considerably far from the EU standards in terms of municipal waste generation,
collection and recovery.
As for the industrial waste, according to the ”polluter pays” principle, the
responsibilities for waste management activities are assigned to the waste
generators, which have the obligation to organise the management of production
waste by using their own means or by contracting specialised operators.
According to the latest data released by the NEPA, in 2007 the total quantity of
generated industrial waste was 19 million tons, out of which 18.5 million tons have
been recovered, with the metallurgical industry, food industry and the chemical /
petrochemical industry among the top generators of waste. Out of the total waste,
349,000 tons represented hazardous waste, with 148,500 tons being disposed of,
mainly by incineration.
Under these circumstances and following the commitments made during the EU
accession negotiations, the National Waste Management Strategy and the National
and Regional Waste Management Plans have defined specific targets to be achieved
on waste collection, transport, treatment, recovery and disposal, targets which are
detailed under the relevant sections of this report.
2.2 Waste collection
The waste collection is mainly organised as following:
Role of local public administration
Organising the collection, transport and disposal of municipal waste is the obligation
of the local public administration, under own management or outsourced to
sanitation operators. However, the collection service is mainly privatised. Local
authorities and producers associations, e.g. Eco-Rom Ambalaje S.A. (especially for
selective collection of packaging waste) undertake supporting activities, including
placing recycle bins or communal collectors and locations for: paper / cardboard,
PET and plastics, metals, aluminium cans, textiles, glass, setting up collection areas
for household hazardous waste, batteries / accumulators, bulky home waste, ELV,
WEEE, used tyres, etc.
Sanitation services operators
There are currently approx 400 authorised operators for sanitation services,
out of which approx 50 are more active, while top 10 hold more than 80% of the
market for sanitation services, including pre - collection, collection, transport,
depositing and the management of the sorting and transfer stations. The market is
in a process of consolidation by mergers, market exits, take - overs, while some
companies have been closed down.
The waste collection market is dominated by Romanian companies and there is no
major national player; the specialised companies have a presence at regional and, in
most cases, local level and among the most important are Comprest, Romprest,
REBU, and Urban. Foreign investment in the sector have been limited, but several
Austrian companies have entered the market for sanitation services and
management of sorting and transfer stations: Brantner Group (with presence in
several cities: Piatra Neamt, Cluj Napoca, Turnu Severin, Sibiu), ASA Abfall Service
AG (in the Arad region), AVE Group (in the counties of Bihor, Cluj, Harghita, Salaj).
Selective collection operators
The market for selective waste collection services is even more fragmented. More
than 1,000 companies have been licensed nationally for the collection of
packaging waste, 320 for collecting WEEE, 88 for used oils. Paper and metal
waste collection and recycling are well established in Romania, with thousands of
collectors and a large network of processing companies. Even for PET collection and
Page 13 of 72
recycling there are some important facilities. In order to improve collection, buy -
back schemes have been implemented for WEEE, but due to mixed results such
schemes have been discontinued. Also limited results has the National Campaign for
the collection of WEEE, known as ”The Great Disposal”, launched in 2007 by the
Ministry of Environment and repeated periodically at regional level with the aim to
collect the WEEE from the population with the involvement of the sanitation
companies. The WEEE buy - back schemes and “The Great Disposal” campaign have
been launched in a period of strong economic growth for Romania, when consumer
confidence was high and banks were keen on expanding consumer credit and the
incentive for the consumers to replace their old home appliances was high. However,
once the economic conditions have deteriorated and access to credit was severely
restricted, WEEE collection diminished considerably.
Industrial and hazardous waste
Networks of separate collection and transport services for industrial waste,
infectious and hazardous waste, used oil, used tyres, PCB & PCT waste have been
set up, as well as separate collection for used batteries and accumulators. The
companies providing collection services for these types of wastes are either large
sanitation companies such as Urban or SSB (Servicii Salubritate Bucuresti), part
of the Iridex group, one of the largest local players in the waste management, or
companies specialised in the collection, treatment and transport for final
disposal in incinerators or cement kilns, such as RoEcologic.
In the ELV recovery, by the end of 2007, a national collection network for the
ELV was established; latest available data show that in Jan 2011, 319 companies
were authorised for the collection and treatment of the ELV, while the three cement
producers Lafarge Ciment, Holcim Romania and Carpatcement Holding were
authorised for the incineration of ELV waste.
A system through which the last owner of a vehicle can hand it over to a collecting /
recovery unit was also established in 2007. The program implemented by the
Environmental Fund Authority and called RABLA is particularly successful. In 2010,
the target of 190,000 ELV to be removed has been narrowly achieved, and more
than 53,000 new cars have been acquired, out of which more than 23,000 locally
produced. According to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in 2011 the
program RABLA is expected to continue with similar positive results.
In the sludge collection and treatment Romania has made little progress. Latest
available data show that in 2008 approximately 125,000 t of sludge in dried matter
has been generated from the municipal waste waters; most of it has been dried and
then disposed off in landfills and only 353 t of sludge provided by the animal
breeding sector has been used in agriculture.
2.2.1 Market supply of waste collection equipment (locally produced)
Waste collection is one of the sectors where the Romanian equipment manufacturers
are quite present. The main categories of waste collection equipment produced
locally are: containers and euro - containers, mobile compactors and collection
vehicle bodies.
Among the main local producers can be mentioned Consat Beius and Euro Body
which are manufacturing waste collection vehicles bodies. Others, such as Avaco and
Electromec Campulung, but also Consat Beius, are manufacturing containers,
offering a relatively broad product portfolio for the Romanian market. Electromec is
also providing mobile compactors. Another important Romanian manufacturing
company, active in the waste management sector, Adarco Invest, provides mobile
compactors and skip hoists and hook lifts of a high quality for the Romanian and
regional market. Medias Industries, a joint venture including the Dutch company
Geesink Norba, part of US Oshhkosh Corporation, is a company that until 2 - 3 years
ago was one of the major local producers of collection vehicle bodies but has
Page 14 of 72
restrained severely its activity lately. It seems that currently it is producing only
some components that are exported and assembled abroad.
The selected companies provide equipment of relatively good quality for this price
sensitive market, albeit in a rather limited diversity and for prices in average lower
by 20 - 30% compared to imported equipment. In 2008 the total market value for
the local production of equipment for waste collection was estimated to have
reached about 4 mln EUR; the value for 2009 and 2010 was significantly lower,
however the expectations are that in 2011 the local market will exceed the total
value of 2008.
2.2.2 Market demand of waste collection equipment; technology and
inputs
Market demand for collection services and accordingly of waste collection equipment
is substantially influenced by the national policies in the field of waste management
that should be implemented in the following years in order to fulfil the EU
requirements. Therefore some of the relevant trends at the national level with
considerable impact on demand are presented hereafter.
In order to comply with EU standards, waste collection has to improve considerably.
In the case of municipal waste, for instance (which is including household waste,
industrial and institutional waste, similar to household waste, commercial waste,
street waste, park and garden waste, sewage sludge from the purification of urban
waste water, construction and demolition waste) the percentage from the total
population benefiting of waste collection services represented only 54% in 2008
out of which 80% of these population is in the urban areas and only 22%
of the population is in the rural areas. According to the National Waste
Management Plan, the target for 2013 is that 84% of total population will be served
by sanitation companies, while by 2017, 100% of municipal waste is to be collected
– and separated, including separation of the hazardous waste. The demand for
waste collection equipment is therefore projected to increase significantly
over the coming period.
The selective waste collection from companies and institutions, which are
required by law to separate waste, is quite well organised and the collection system
is operated by either the waste generators or the recyclers, depending on
commercial arrangements. Selective waste collection from population is
proving particularly challenging, due to the difficulties in setting up the logistics
infrastructure, lack of education and the fact that in 2008, in average 50% of
household waste composition was biodegradable. The targets are to reduce the
quantity of landfilled biodegradable wastes with 35%4 until 2016, by recycling and
processing.
Latest available data (from 2008) show that only 4% of the household waste has
been selectively collected and recycled. In 2011, the selective collection from
population will become an even more important issue. The targets for valorisation
and recycling of the packaging waste are 19% higher than in 2010 and since 60% of
the packaging waste is produced by households, the target cannot be met without a
significant progress made in the selective collection.
For packaging waste there are targets per material according to Government
Decision 621 / 2005 which transpose the Packaging Waste Directive, but in 2011, to
improve the selective collection, Central Authorities established new specific targets
for Al (17%) and PET (42%). In order to improve collection, several private projects
for PET reverse vending systems have been announced.
The targets for separate collection and further development of the network for
household waste which have to be met in the coming years will expectedly reflect in
4 Compared to 1995
Page 15 of 72
a significant demand for collection equipment, bins and containers. The
counties and municipalities have the responsibility to launch projects for
the construction of new collection and sorting centres for separately
collected waste fractions.
Waste collection is probably the most price sensitive sector within the waste
management. It is largely privatised and fragmented and due to reduced spending
power among population and low subsidies the collection tariffs are extremely low by
European standards. This is why lower quality equipment, imported or produced
internally, as well as second hand equipment, was preferred on the market so far.
However, once the economy picks up in 2011 and many EU - funded projects which
have been delayed in recent years will be implemented, the expectations are that
the market becomes more quality orientated.
The Regional Waste Management Plans, drafted for the period 2007 - 2013 and due
to be updated, have detailed the required additional collection equipment. The
information is considered by some industry experts as quite controversial, at least
for some regions. Further feasibility studies and studies of the population behaviour
with respect to waste collection are needed for an accurate estimate of the
investment needed. However, based on the Regional Waste Management Plans,
based on research inputs obtained from industry experts, from companies and
authorities and also considering the amount of investment which is forecasted for
2007 - 2010 compared to what was actually realised, some indications for the
potential market between 2011 and 2013 could be extracted. A conservative
estimation is that in the period 2011 - 2013, the total demand would exceed
30,000 units for containers, 200 compaction vehicles, and 70 transfer
stations.
An interesting opportunity can be represented by containers for selective glass
collection. The glass collection system is currently particularly underdeveloped and
in order to meet the collection targets approximately 1,500 special containers are
reportedly needed.
2.2.3 Key players in the waste collection equipment sector
This research has revealed that in the waste collection equipment sector the highest
demand is represented by:
a) Compaction vehicles, skip hoists and hook lifts, lorries and lorries with
trailers, and containers. These equipment are provided by companies such
as FARID (Italy) - represented in Romania by Cefin Group, BMC (Turkey),
HYVA (Netherlands), ATRIK (Slovenia) - represented in Romania by Euriteh
b) Bins, containers and press containers are provided mainly by Romanian
producers such as AVACO, Adarco Invest, Electromec Campulung, Medias
Industries, or imported from neighbouring countries, Hungary or Greece.
A list of the key players including importers / distributors of equipment as well as of
the key local producers is presented in Annex no. 2.
Moreover, profiles of some of the key players in the waste collection equipment
sector such as: Gradinariu Import Exports (importer and distributor of waste
collection equipment), CEFIN GROUP (representative for some important producers
of waste collection vehicles or structures for vehicles, such as IVECO or FARID),
Electromec (local producer of containers) and IRIDEX PLAST (local producer and
distributor of containers and bins) are presented in Annex no 3.
2.3 Waste processing (including recycling)
The waste recycling is rather a new concept in Romania and it is still quite far from
European standards. The environment protection issues are of relatively low concern
Page 16 of 72
for most of the population and there is little awareness of the long term impact that
individual actions have on the quality of environment. With the exception of paper /
cardboard and metal recycling, which have a long tradition in Romania,
institutionalised recycling of other materials is relatively recent.
During the process of EU accession and after the accession on 1 Jan 2007, Romania
had to achieve a certain percentage of packaging waste recovery and recycling
targets, starting from 15% and 12% respectively in 2004, to 34% and 28%
respectively in 2007 and will reach 60% and 55% respectively in 2012.
The paper / cardboard and metal waste management systems are the most
developed. For metal waste, there are over 2,000 authorised collectors and more
than 250 processing companies, located throughout the country. The metal is partly
exported, but mostly provided to the six large steel mills and other 27 smaller
companies. Aluminium is processed at Alro Slatina, copper in the smelter in Baia
Mare.
For paper / cardboard, there are thousands of collectors, hundreds of processing
companies and 7 large recycling companies also with collection capacity, most
important being Vrancart, ECOPAPER, and AMBRO SUCEAVA.. Paper / cardboard are
by far the municipal waste type with the most efficient recovery and recycling
system. In 2008 less than 10% of the collected municipal waste was recovered,
out of which paper / cardboard represented 57%.
Glass recycling, from packaging but also from ELV and production activities, is
particularly problematic. In 2007 only 1.8% of the total waste was recovered despite
the fact that more than 200 companies have a license for glass collection. Among
the factors which contribute to such a low recycling rate for glass is the fact that
there is little capacity for processing and recycling – there is only one large glass
manufacturer in Romania, Stirom, which has limited processing capacity, 20 - 25%
of the total necessary quantity. There were timid attempts to find other uses for
recycled glass, for instance using it in road constructions, but there is not yet a
significant demand.
Another issue that has an impact on glass collection is that the financial incentive for
glass collection is small and transport is expensive particularly due to the large
distances and rather poor road infrastructure in Romania. Despite the difficulties in
collection and processing, it is expected that the pressure to meet recycling targets
will force local authorities and operators to find better waste management solutions
for glass. As a first step, by 2013 investment is forecasted in approx 1,500
containers for selective glass collection.
Specific actions have also taken place in order to implement separate collection and
recovery of special waste fractions and further waste processing and recycling.
These include packaging materials, ELV, WEEE, used tyres, used oil, hazardous
waste, green waste and construction and demolition waste. For all these types of
waste Romania has European challenging recycling targets to meet.
In order to achieve the waste recovery and recycling targets assigned to them,
according to the ”polluter pays” principle, the companies generating waste have the
option to sign a Responsibility Takeover Contract with specialised operators which
take over the obligations pertaining to the economic operators to organise an
integrated waste management.
Currently, there are five associations taking over the responsibilities of the
companies generating packaging waste, most important being EcoRom Ambalaje
and Ecologic 3R, six operators for WEEE, with ECOTIC and Environ being the most
important and Eco Anvelope for used tyres. There are no associations yet taking
over the waste management responsibilities for batteries and ELV, but significant
progress has been made regarding the specific legislation.
Page 17 of 72
As part of their responsibilities, the companies taking over the recovery / recycling
activities are required to undertake specific actions to support an integrated waste
management system, from raising awareness and education to investing in selective
collection infrastructure. Thanks to their close contact with a large number of
companies (both waste generators and companies in waste management) and also
with the relevant authorities, these associations, especially the large ones mentioned
above, are quite influential on the local market.
In the packaging waste management, EcoRom Ambalaje has implemented in
Romania the Green Dot system for the integrated management of packaging
waste, which certifies to the consumer that the producer/importer of the packaged
products pays a financial contribution for the recovery and recycling of the
packages. In 2007, the company launched a National Selective Waste Collection
Programme, investing in collection containers which are offered for free to
municipalities. Thanks to this program, starting with 2009 over 3 million inhabitants
from 73 Romanian localities have access to the selective waste collection
infrastructure.
In the WEEE, the Green Tax symbols introduced by Environ or the Green Stamp
of ECOTIC are informative of the contribution paid by users to cover the collection
and recycling processes. As in the packaging waste management, in the WEEE
management these operators are required to invest in education, collection
infrastructure and other supporting activities. For instance ECOTIC has invested in
over 400 containers for WEEE collection.
The market for waste recycling is quite fragmented, but unlike in the waste
collection and sanitation services there are several large operators and significant
foreign investment has been made in advanced recycling technology.
There are approx 150 companies in packaging waste recycling, the large majority in
PET and plastics, approx 40 companies are authorised for WEEE processing, three
companies authorised for accumulators processing, out of which the most important
is RomBAT. In the ELV waste management, 300 companies are licensed for
collection services and vehicle dismantling and 40 for recycling, mainly of plastics,
metal waste and accumulators.
There are no truly national operators, but some of the largest recycling companies,
such as Remat Holding, Romrecycling, Remat Brasov, Remat Invest etc, are present
in several counties. These companies are providing separated waste collection
services and recycling for packaging, metal ferrous and non - ferrous, WEEE and
ELV. Romanian - German owned Remat Holding had a turnover of € 100 mil in 2009
and its German investor Scholz is also an investor in Remat Invest, Condor
Recycling and other operators, while also operating under own name with Scholz
Romania.
In the WEEE recycling, most important operators are GreenWEEE, Gremlin, and
Stena DTM, while GreenLamp and RecoLamp are specialised in the recycling of
light sources. GreeWEEE and GreenLamp, together with GreenFiber (specialised in
the PET recycling and the production of PET fibre and PET strapping) and
GreenTech (plastics recycling) are Buzau based companies, part of the largest
investment to date in recycling.
An amount of € 10 mil has been invested only in GreenWEEE. This company, having
a WEEE processing and recycling capacity of 50,000 to, is the largest WEEE
recycling company in Romania (it covers a significant proportion of the required
capacity at the national level, the total national target for WEEE being 80,000 to).
Thanks to its latest technologies GreenWEEE is one of the most advanced WEEE
recycling facilities in this part of Europe. GreenWEEE is, for instance, the only
company in Romania which can recycle all 10 WEEE types, including the liquid waste
from refrigerators. The future of GreeWEEE is, however, quite uncertain, since the
Page 18 of 72
total national collection of WEEE represents about one third of the company’s
processing capacity.
In the used tyres domain recycling ECORUBBER RECYCLING has recently opened
a recycling facility in Fundulea (close to Bucharest), with a recycling capacity of
24,000 to and a production capacity of 16,000 to of crumbed rubber pavers
products. While EcoAnvelope, which is collecting most of the tyres in Romania (an
estimated 30,000 to), is sending them to cement kilns for co-incineration, Ecorubber
Recycling is importing the used tyres from Western Europe.
The integrated waste management for auto accumulators is well established, but for
other types of batteries little has been made in terms of collection and recycling.
2.3.1 Market supply of waste processing equipment (locally produced)
Sorting plants represent an important component of the supply of waste
processing equipment and all integrated waste management projects are including
sorting stations at county and municipal level as well (for a population of at least
200,000), due to the very low degree of separation at collection.
There are few Romanian companies active in the manufacturing of waste processing
equipment and they are mainly offering solutions for sorting stations. These
companies are: Adarco, AVACO, Tehnix, Ecologing, and Dragonara 93. They are
engineering companies, manufacturing conveyors and integrating in the final sorting
station solution specific components which are almost exclusively imported such as:
baling presses, waste bag openers, magnetic and air jet separators, perforators,
shredders etc. The only companies manufacturing other elements than conveyors
are: Adarco (manufacturing sizing drums) and Dragonara 93 (manufacturing small
presses for paper / cardboard, PET and plastics).
Tehnix is a company which origins from Croatia, which has opened a local
manufacturing facility in Bacau and is specialised in low capacity sorting stations.
The company had won several projects thanks to its very aggressive pricing (their
solutions were 30 - 40% cheaper than German technology based solutions, for
instance), but feedback from the research has shown that the quality is not so high.
The company is, so far, quite successful on the local market which is price sensitive.
Adarco is a company considered as being the most technologically advanced in the
sector. Well respected engineering and design company, Adarco has been involved
in a long list of projects of integrated waste management systems around the
country, providing high quality technology and integration services. Adarco is
including in its solutions reliable technologies, mostly German equipment and is
present not only on the Romanian market but also in the neighbouring countries and
Germany as well. Adarco is also manufacturing and exporting high quality sizing
drums. The company offers sorting plants, conveyors, mobile compactors, sizing
drums and other waste processing equipment.
According to industry experts’ estimations, the local production for waste processing
equipment exceeded 6 mil in 2008; heavily affected by the economic crisis, the local
production is expected to pick up again in 2011.
An important part of supply of equipment for waste processing and recycling is
provided by importers and distributors including: recycling plants, compacting
stations, baling presses, sorting stations, shredders and many others. An inventory
of types of imported equipment for processing and recycling available on the market
is presented in Annex 2.
Page 19 of 72
2.3.2 Market demand of waste processing equipment; technology and
inputs
Market demand for processing equipment is and will be in the next period
substantially influenced by the trends of national policies in the field of processing
and recycling of waste, in order to fulfil the EU requirements.
During the preparations for the EU accession and following the accession in 2007,
Romania had to meet a series of ambitious targets for packaging waste
recycling. If in 2004 the targets were of 15% recovery and 12% recycling, in 2007
they reached 34% and 28% respectively, while by 2013 these targets become 60%
and 55% respectively. In order to keep up with the requirements, the local
authorities and the operators have to invest considerably in the selective
waste collection network and waste processing / recycling capacity.
By 31 Dec. 2010, Romania was expected to reach the target of 7% recovery of the
household wastes, in the context of increased waste collection rate which is
scheduled to reach by 2013 84% of total population. The target for biodegradable
waste until end 2010 was to be reduced with 25%, and is planned to be reduced
with 50% until 2013, and with 65% until 2016, compared to the levels of 2006. With
regard to the recovery and recycling of the batteries and accumulators, 50% of the
weight (without electrolyte) was planned to be recovered, by 2010. However, due to
little progress made in this respect, it is expected that the reporting will show that
this target has not been met
Thus, the demand for sorting stations was significant after 2007 and it
remains still an important area of interest for authorities and for recycling
companies in the next years.
Given the fact that waste collection is still largely non - selective, the integrated
waste management systems implemented after 2007 by counties and municipalities
include, most of the times, sorting stations which dispatch materials to recycling
companies. The demand for sorting stations is also high from recycling companies
interested in processing waste from the sanitation companies, or from landfills
operators willing to go up the value chain by waste valorisation.
Further demand for sorting stations is expected to come from the local authorities
with a view to meet some other recovery and recycling targets. For instance, the
total quantity of dumped waste had to be reduced by 15% until 31 Dec 2010, while
the quantity of biodegradable waste had to be reduced by 25% until 2010, from the
level of 2007, by recycling and processing. The targets for recycling for 2013 and
2016 go up to 50%, 65% respectively.
By 2020 the energy recovery target of about 10% of the municipal waste has to
be met. There is yet no incinerator for municipal waste, one of the reasons being
that currently the waste is humid and improper for energy recovery due to its low
calorific value. According to industry experts these targets cannot be met without a
dramatically improved selective collection and a significant number of sorting
stations distributed around the country.
Regarding the demand in metal recycling, there is sufficient collection and
recycling capacity to meet the targets for 2011 - 2012 of 50%; however the targets
by type of waste will prove more difficult to be reached for aluminium: 17% in 2011
and 20% in 2012, due to collection issues. Initiatives of the operators in the
packaging waste management are expected to improve collection, in particular from
population, while the forecasted increasing number of sorting stations will also help
in reaching this target. In metal recycling, further investment is expected in
equipment such as: large crushers, shredders, magnetic separators and in
aluminium tins recycling, particularly in presses.
Page 20 of 72
For paper and cardboard, the target of 60% recycling is met every year. A large
part of the investment in recycling equipment in Romania was represented by
shredders and baling presses for paper recycling.
Glass recycling, from packaging but also from ELV and production activities, is
particularly problematic in Romania. The glass recycling targets are of 54% in 2011
and of 60% in 2012, but in 2007 only 1.8% was recovered. It is estimated that by
2012 50 – 60,000 to more glass needs to be recycled, but capacity is currently
lacking, therefore the potential demand is significant. Out of the 80,000 to national
target, the only large glass manufacturer Stirom is processing only 20 - 25%.
Glass recycling is a problem for ELV and WEEE as well. GreenWEEE has announced
plans to invest in recycling capacity for glass from WEEE, while for ELV investment is
required in the coming years due to increased recycling targets. Increased
demand for glass recycling equipment is expected, especially for optical
glass separators and treatment of the glass from vehicles.
For ELV, starting with 2007, the targets to be met by Romania were 80% recycling
of the mass for vehicles manufactured after 1 January 1980 (recovery of at least
85%), while for the vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1980 the targets were
of 70% and 75% respectively. After 1 January 2015, these targets become 85% and
95% respectively.
Until now the targets have been met thanks to the significant investment made by
large recycling companies such as Remat Holding, Remat Scholtz, Remat Invest,
Romrecycling, with some of them investing in quite advanced technology. Remat
Holding for instance has the only post-shredder for ELV in Romania, provided by
Scholtz AG and sand - flow metal separator.
Due to the increase in recycling targets since 2015, further investment is
expected in this sector, particularly in post - shredders. Moreover, in the
coming years, the type, structure and technologies of the ELV to be recycled are
going to change significantly from the cars of ’80 which are currently recycled, most
of them of Romanian make. New equipment and technologies will be required,
including for the recycling of the auto catalysts and significant investment
is expected in post-shredders, separators, recycling for tyres and glass.
As regarding the WEEE recycling, significant investment has taken place in
recent years, particularly by GreenWEEE in Buzau and Gremlin in Constanta. The
total recycling capacity at national level just covers the recycling targets (80,000 to
/ year, approx 4 kg / inhabitant), but the collection remains a major issue and less
than one quarter of the target is collected each year and the existing companies
specialised in WEEE recycling are currently struggling with profitability issues.
A more geographically distributed model for WEEE recycling seems to work better,
with the large recycling companies, with a good regional coverage, interested in
expanding their WEEE recycling capacities. However, these companies will not find it
profitable to invest in recycling all types of WEEE, therefore recycling for
refrigerators and light sources for instance is expected to remain a problem.
For the used batteries and accumulators separate collection had to be set up as
of 2006 and the target for recycling is of 50% of the weight, excluding electrolyte.
The system is in place and working for auto accumulators and a reverse vending
system is in place, with several companies, especially RomBat, investing significantly
in recycling and large companies in ELV recycling mentioning increased interest in
processing this type of waste.
For other types of batteries and accumulators this activity is quite underdeveloped,
there are no recycling companies and the selective collection network is incipient.
The small quantities of batteries currently collected are exported for recycling. After
Page 21 of 72
2012, the recycling of portable accumulators will become an issue – the target will
be of 25%. Interesting market opportunities might be found in this area,
provided that the collection can support the recycling activity.
In plastics and PET recycling, the targets of 22.5% recycling (global) until 2010
have been met. From 2011 these targets are broken down by type of waste, with
the targets for PET going up to 42% in 2011 and 55% in 2012. PET recycling is
therefore a hot topic and many operators have mentioned plans to further
invest in PET collection and recycling capacity. Therefore there is significant
potential demand of recycling equipment in this area.
Recycling is probably the most profitable sector in waste management in Romania,
and has attracted significant investment in recent years. Research has shown
that considerable investment is expected in the coming years as well, in
pretty much all types of equipment: sorting stations, conveyor belts, waste
bag openers, magnetic separators, perforators, shredders, granulators, tyre
dismantlers, automatic sorting of various recyclables, non-metal materials
separator, air jet separators, ballistic separators, sizing drums, baling press
for paper, plastics, metals etc.
The Romanian market for waste sorting and recycling equipment is quite high price
sensitive, therefore cheaper technology of lower quality (from Tehnix and / or
imports from Turkey and China, or second hand equipment) have a significant
market share, although there are companies such as GreenWEEE, Remat Holding or
Adarco investing in advanced technologies.
However, the profitability of waste recycling activity in general is improving and the
need for more reliable technologies will become apparent after some of the solutions
which have been recently implemented will have worked for a while. These factors,
combined with the fact that the Ministry for Environment will publish Best Available
Technologies guides, will expectedly have a positive impact on the demand for
solutions of a higher quality.
2.3.3 Key players on the in the waste processing equipment sector
The market for waste processing equipment (mainly sorting and recycling
equipment) is dominated by German, Italian and Austrian companies, but also
Scandinavian companies have a good presence. Among key players the following
foreign companies, which are selling their products through local importing and
distributing companies, can be mentioned: Mewa Recycling (DE), Strautmann
Umweltehnik (DE), Muetek Systemtechnic (DE), Heger Recycling Systeme (DE),
Kampwerth Presto (DE), Mercodor (DE), ABBA Pressen (DE), Erdwich (DE), Stadler
(DE), Welger (DE), Avermann (DE), ICS CONTEC (DE), Wagner (AT), Werner &
Weber (AT), Austropressen (AT), Caravaggi (IT), Macpresse (IT), Ecostar (IT),
Satrind (IT), Coparm (IT), Bramidan (DK), RUNI (DK), Orwak (SE), Tomra (NO),
Menart (BE), Macfab (IE).
Some of these companies have local offices in Romania, but there is also a well
established network of importers and distributors, some of the most important
being: Schuster, Ropeco, Iridex, Euriteh, Romedio, Lampero, Dragonara 93, and
EKO Linea.
The list of importers, distributors and local producers of equipment for waste
processing and recycling, as well as their contact details is presented in Annex 2.
Moreover, the profiles of some important key players, supplier of equipment for
waste processing and recycling, such as Adarco Invest, Ropeco, Schuster are
presented in the Annex 4.
Page 22 of 72
2.4 Waste disposal and related processes
In Romania Sanitary waste disposal is the segment of the waste management
sector which currently requires the highest investment and most urgent actions. The
progress in this sector was quite slow. Thus, the first sanitary landfill in Romania
was established in 1998 and at the moment of the accession to the EU in 2007, only
8 sanitary landfills were operational.
It should be mentioned that, as part of its obligations after the accession to the EU,
Romania has to close by 2017 all landfills and dumpsites which are not compliant
(approx 100 sites still to be closed) and to build about 50 municipal sanitary landfills
with an average capacity of until 100,000 to / yr and other approx 15 landfills with
an average capacity of 50,000 to / yr. Out of the total sanitary landfills required,
only 26 are currently operational¹ and approx 40 others are to be built until 2017.
In most cases, the sanitary landfills are owned by the local authorities and they are
operated by private companies. However there are several privately owned landfills
such as Iridex in Chiajna, Costinesti, and Ploiesti, Veolia in Boldesti Scaieni, Tracon
in Braila, Constanta, and Sibiu, Fin-Eco in Brasov etc. According to the National
Strategy for Waste Management, wherever available, privately owned sanitary
landfills must be included within the integrated waste management systems.
With the exception of one company, Veolia, having one single site in Boldesti
Scaieni, there are not yet any other multinational companies present on the market.
The main reason is the low dumping fee of approx 10 EUR / to and therefore the low
profitability for this kind of activities. Industry experts consider that the fees are
expected to rise significantly in the coming years and it is expected that large
multinational companies will enter the market.
Progress has been made with regard to the sanitary landfills for the municipal
waste, but there are very few sanitary landfills for construction and
demolition waste and industrial waste. Companies such as Ecomaster, Iridex,
and Vivani Salubritate have invested in landfills for industrial waste, but the demand
for further disposal capacity is high and expected to grow over the coming period,
due to the stronger enforcement of the waste management regulations. The highest
deficit is currently in demolition and construction waste, which is still mainly illegally
dumped.
Incineration / co - incineration
Landfill disposal is most common for municipal waste in Romania as there is no
incinerator yet – the incineration is currently considered too expensive for this
market. The plans for the integrated waste management system within the Region
8, Bucharest and the surrounding Ilfov County, are including the building of the
first municipal waste incinerator in Romania in the coming years, while there
is interest in building an incinerator in Brasov as well.
Incineration and co - incineration are, on the other hand, most common for
the disposal of hazardous waste and industry experts consider that the existing
capacity is sufficient for the time being and significant investment is not expected in
the coming years in this type of incineration.
There are 10 companies authorised to incinerate hazardous industrial
waste, out of which most important are Iridex, Eco Fire, Mondeco and Pro Air Clean,
while 7 more companies are in the process of being licensed for this activity and
nine companies are authorised for incineration / co - incineration of own waste, in
particular companies in the pharmaceutical chemical industry. For the medical
waste, there are 7 incinerators of clinical waste, among which can be mentioned
Stericare and Eco Serv.
¹ This is the latest information according to NEPA – from direct interview
Page 23 of 72
Co - incineration is also well established, all cement kilns have already invested in
specific technology and are authorised for the co - incineration of a wide range of
wastes: used tyres, textiles, organic waste and liquids from ELV, other hazardous
waste etc. It is estimated that the co - incineration capacity and potential demand of
RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) at the cement kilns is ten times higher than the
quantities currently available, therefore there is incentive for the companies within
the sector to invest in the production of RDF and in selective collection.
Industrial hazardous waste is mainly eliminated by incineration / co - incineration
and there are a limited number of companies involved in the treatment of
hazardous waste, such as Setcar, Vivani Salubritate, Uni - Recycling, Apisorelia,
Ecovalor and Ecomaster. Industry experts are expecting significant investment in
facilities for the treatment of the hazardous waste, under the pressure of the current
legislation.
Biogas recovery systems
According to the current legislation, all sanitary landfills must have biogas
recovery systems. All facilities built in the recent years and the ones planned as
well have biogas caption systems, but given the fact that most of the sanitary
landfills have been established after 2004 and that on a new landfill site the biogas
recovery is efficient only after several years of operation, currently no landfill has
yet a biogas recovery system.
The company Iridex is in an advanced stage to implement the first biogas
recovery station at its landfill in Chiajna, next to Bucharest. The system was
provided by the company HAASSE (Germany). Iridex has obtained already the
licence to connect and to provide electricity to the national network, while ASA
Servicii Ecologice has also announced a plan to install a system for biogas recovery
at the landfill in Arad.
Composting
The current legislation requires a composting station for each sanitary landfill and
the existing sites which lack a composting station will be upgraded. The sanitary
landfills in Iasi, Pitesti, Ramnicu Valcea for instance do not have a composting
station yet, but projects are underway for them be upgraded to include one.
Currently there is little incentive for producing compost, as there is not yet an
established distribution network, and the rather small local demand for compost is
met usually with imports. This situation is expected to improve in coming years
having in view that, according to EU commitments, Romania has the targets to
reach material or energetic recovery of 50% for the biodegradable wastes until 2013
and also reducing with 65% the quantity of landfilled biodegradable waste until
2016, and the production and local use of compost is expected to increase.
2.4.1 Market supply of related processing equipment (locally
produced)
Most Romanian companies active in the waste disposal and related processes are
involved in building and operating the facilities and research has identified few local
companies providing specialised equipment.
Ecologing from Bucharest is providing low capacity waste incineration systems, while
Meson Composting from Bacau is a local manufacturer of small bio - containers for
composting, for individual use.
2.4.2 Market demand of related processing equipment; technology and
inputs
Counties and Municipalities are responsible for the closing of existing non compliant
landfills, supervising the implementation of the integrated waste management
systems and for the long term planning for more advanced facilities (incinerators,
Page 24 of 72
bio mechanical treatment, advanced composting etc). Therefore, for the next period,
there is a significant demand of related processing equipment & technology for
municipal and industrial waste.
According to the Regional Plans for Waste Management the integrated waste
management systems must include at each county level selective collection systems
(2 - 3 containers), transfer stations with / without sorting stations at municipal level
(for a population of approx 200,000), one large sorting station at county level, one
sanitary landfill for municipal and assimilated waste including a composting station,
one landfill for demolition and construction waste.
Sanitary landfills technology
An average of 25 - 30 mil EUR are allocated for each county for the establishment of
the integrated waste management system, out of which the largest proportion, 12 -
14 mil EUR are allocated exclusively for the building of the sanitary
landfills.
So far, only 7 counties have finalised the projects for the integrated waste
management, another 23 counties have the documentation ready and are expected
to start the project implementation by 2013, while the remaining 11 counties are
expected to start the process after 2014, when the next financing period starts. Until
2017, 34 counties have therefore to build approx 45 sanitary landfills and during this
period significant demand is expected for geo - synthetic materials, sensors,
biogas caption and recovery systems, composting areas (shredders,
conveyor belts etc), MBT (mechanical biological treatment) equipment
(front loaders, turning machines etc), leachate treatment systems,
shredding and compacting equipment.
Request of equipment from landfill operators
According to the National Plans for Waste Management, the integrated waste
management systems must include at least one sorting station at county level.
Currently there are 33 counties which still have to implement their plans for waste
management, therefore the demand for sorting stations is expected to remain high
until 2017, when the integrated waste management systems are expected to be
finalised.
Further demand for sorting stations is expected to come from landfills operators.
One major factor impacting the profitability of operating a landfill is that, due to
reduced spending power of the population and low subventions, currently the
dumping fee is low by European standards, of 10 - 12 EUR / to. However, in several
years, most of the non - compliant sites will be closed, the average income will most
likely increase and therefore the expectations are that the dumping fee will increase
considerably, to 20 or even 25 EUR / to.
For most landfills operators the incentive is high to try to limit the quantity of the
waste dumped at their sites in the coming years, waiting for the higher medium and
long term profits. The owners / operators of sanitary landfills are therefore likely to
invest in technology in order to optimise the use of the facilities and improve long
term profitability, particularly in sorting stations.
Incineration
Incinerators for municipal waste are also expected to be in high demand in the
coming years. By 2020, Romania has to meet the target of energy recovery of 10%
of the municipal waste and on the long term it is expected that significant
investment will take place in such incinerators.
The efficient operation of these incinerators is dependent upon the supply of
municipal waste of the required quality. However, currently the composition of the
municipal waste is not suitable for incineration as the humid waste is not collected
separately. Investment in incinerators requires therefore significant progress in the
Page 25 of 72
selective collection of the humid waste and / or the construction of sufficient waste
sorting capacity.
Currently most of the hazardous waste is disposed of by incineration and according
to industry experts there is sufficient local capacity for the incineration of hazardous
waste. However, investment in treatment facilities for hazardous waste is
expected to be relatively high, particularly in the treatment of PCB & PCT
waste and batteries.
Biogas recovery
Biogas recovery is an incipient activity in Romania, mainly due to the fact that most
of the sanitary landfills are quite recent and the biogas recovery is efficient only
after 3 or 4 years from the start of the landfill. The first biogas recovery system is
currently implemented by Iridex at its landfill in Chiajna. In order to comply with
regulations, all sanitary landfills will need biogas recovery systems,
therefore the demand for such systems is expected to increase in the
coming couple of years and to become significant once all sanitary landfills
are finalised by the end of 2017.
2.4.3 Key players in the waste disposal and waste related processing
equipment sector
The key players in the equipment market for waste disposal and related processes
are mainly foreign companies which are represented directly, given the fact that the
demand is mostly project based.
The German and Italian companies are well represented on the local market.
Equipment provided by Entsorga Italy has been included within several projects for
composting plants and MBT treatment facilities, while the German company HAASSE
supplied the technology for the first biogas recovery system in Romania, which is to
be soon finalised by Iridex at the landfill in Chiajna.
In the incineration technology, apart from the local manufacturer Ecologing, several
foreign companies are providing solutions to the market, some of most relevant
being Master Burn (Ireland) supplying incinerators for medical waste distributed by
Multi Lab Romania, Wilhelm Romco, ATI Muller Incinerateurs (France) which has
provided the incinerator for the company Eco Fire, and Penram USA which has
supplied the incineration equipment for Iridex.
In the field of technological solutions for obtaining biogas from treatment of waste
from agriculture and / or from processing companies, there are several companies
on the local market - representatives of foreign suppliers of such technologies and
equipment - among which we can mention: Rota Guida Italy (represented in
Romania by R&C Arhitectural Engineering) or HOST BV (NL) - represented in
Romania by Aptech Group via its company Aplind Consult.
The list of importers, distributors and local producers of equipment for waste
disposal and waste related processes is presented in Annex 2. The profiles of some
companies active on this segment are available in Annex 5.

3 Opportunities on the Romanian market
3.1 Key issues for a successful market entry
3.1.1 Most promising products / future trends of the demand
As pointed out in this report, the integrated waste management system in Romania
is in an early stage of implementation. With the support of the EU, the country will
make significant progress until 2017 - 2020 and high demand for waste
management equipment and technology is expected across all the sectors, waste
collection, processing / recycling, disposal and related processes.
Selective collection and construction of sanitary landfills represent some of
the important priorities until 2017
Till 2017 most of the investment in waste management will be allocated to the
selective collection infrastructure and logistics and also to the construction of
sanitary landfills. By 2017 Romania has to build approx 40 sanitary landfills and to
implement integrated waste management systems within 33 counties. Demand for
containers, collection vehicles, sorting and transfer stations and related equipment
(shredders, presses, conveyors, etc), and also technology for sanitary landfills (geo-
synthetic materials, sensors, biogas caption systems) and composting stations, is
expected to peak around 2017.
After 2017, demand for more advanced technology is expected
After 2017, it is expected that the demand for more advanced waste management
technologies and solutions will increase significantly, such as incinerators for
municipal waste and biogas recovery systems.
Recycling area is another area with positive trend in equipment demand
The recycling sector is another area where, high demand for advanced technology is
expected especially for recycling packaging waste, ELV (particularly post-shredders,
separators), batteries, glass including glass from packaging waste and ELV, WEEE
and especially lamp recycling.
As a remark should be mentioned that several operators in the waste management
services, potential buyers of equipment, have mentioned that the ”recycling” and
”incineration” are perceived as areas with significant potential of development in the
future. Therefore, despite the fact that actually some of these companies were
active mainly in collecting of waste, they expressed their interest for extending their
range of activities in recycling and incineration and accordingly for acquisition of
specific equipment in those areas such as: sorting stations for recyclable wastes,
transport equipment for dangerous wastes, baling presses for paper and plastics,
magnetic separators, sizing drums etc.
Despite the fact that, so far, the market was highly price sensitive, in the
coming years it is expected to become more quality oriented, this trend
having a positive impact on more openness towards ”Dutch technology”,
which is perceived as being among the most performing and reliable.
The Romanian market for waste management equipment and technology is currently
quite price sensitive; some projects may include lower quality or second hand
equipment, although private companies active in recycling or operating landfills are
more likely to invest in advanced technology.
However, the market is expected to become more quality orientated, with increasing
pressure for efficiency in order to meet more and more demanding targets imposed
Page 27 of 72
by the legislation. Another important factor, likely to raise the demand for higher
quality equipment, is the elaboration of the BAT guides (Best Available Technologies)
by the Ministry of Environment as part of the current update of the relevant
Romanian legislation, which is to be finalised by 2012.
3.1.2 Categories of buyers & their purchasing policy
a) Private companies (waste management operators)
An important category of buyers of equipment are the private operators active in the
waste management area (collection, recycling, processing etc). A list of major
companies representing potential buyers of equipment is presented in Annex 2. The
companies are acquiring the equipment either directly from a specific supplier
through a ”direct acquisition procedure”, when a specific technology is preferred,
or in other cases, private companies are using the ”three request of proposal”
procedure, allowing them to compare and select the best alternative solution
suitable for their specific needs. In this case, the selection of best offer is made
considering several criteria. Most of the private respondents interviewed have
mentioned that the quality, the reliability of technology and the warranty are
important factors in choosing an offer. Price remains also an important factor for
selecting a supplier.
Moreover, the research has revealed that some other important factors influencing
purchasing decision are: the capability of suppliers to offer a “complete solution”
including providing support for identification of financing alternatives, such as
operational leasing and the capability of the supplier to provide technical suppor ”in
time” (therefore a partnership with a local partner and / or existence of an own
branch / subsidiary are very important).
While the procedure for acquisition is run out by the ”department of acquisition” and
the evaluation of offers is made at this level, the final decision regarding the
selection of supplier is, in most cases, made by the administrators (board) of the
company and / or by General Manager, depending on the value of the investment.
In both cases (direct acquisition or selection of offers), the visibility of the supplier
on the local market and the awareness of its products and technology among local
customers remain an important factor to be considered by the suppliers if they want
to be directly approached and / or short listed and invited to make a proposal.
Therefore, Dutch companies interested to enter Romanian market should pay
sufficient attention to the promotion policy and to ensure a good visibility on the
local market, by participating to local fairs / exhibitions, by direct marketing
activities, by organising specific events (seminars / conferences for presenting their
technologies) or by being present in professional publications that are targeting their
specific segment of customers.
b) Administrative entities (local councils, county councils, ADI)
The administrative entities, especially the ”County Councils” (CC), represent an
important category of customers for equipment and consulting services suppliers in
the field of integrated waste management, given the fact that they are the main
beneficiaries of EU funded waste management projects. The CC is responsible for
organising the tenders, it will be the contracting entity and it will be responsible for
the payments. Moreover, the CC will be the owner of the infrastructure developed by
the project and also it will co - finance the project. Given the importance and the
significant size of these EU projects, the CCs represent an important client category
for the Dutch suppliers of equipment and consulting services.
However, the Dutch suppliers should be aware that the process of contracting and of
implementation for this type of projects is complicated, lengthy and involve several
risks. The purchasing procedure should comply with EU funding regulations and the
following steps should be followed: approval of EU application, elaborations of
Page 28 of 72
technical specifications and of ”tender documentation”, organisation of the public
tenders, contracting the equipment or TA supplier. The procedures are thus quite
complicated, involve many phases (each phase normally has a specific duration that
should be respected), contracting authorities should follow the general procurement
legislation and procedures. In practice, in many cases the whole process, until
contracting, is suffering delays (usually, evaluation process is significantly longer
than officially announced in the Applicant Guide) and even after contracting, the
implementation process itself is also not always “smooth”, as the applicants should
pre - finance the projects from their own sources and only after the completion of a
predefined phase the reimbursement of the spent amounts can be claimed from the
financing authorities. In many situations the reimbursement also takes a long time,
therefore financial blockage of the projects could appear. Other limitation that has to
be mentioned is related to the procedures for the Public tenders: these are
organised only after the applicant is signing the contract with financing authorities.
And on top of the above, even if published in SEAP and officially “available” for any
participant, many tenders have a predictable outcome (contractors recommended /
preferred by Local Authorities).
Another challenge to be overcome by Dutch participants is the “language aspect”: all
the tender dossiers, the offers as well as the applications and other documents
requested to be submitted for getting EU Funds should be prepared in Romanian,
therefore a Romanian partner (or local management) is recommended.
The good understanding by the supplier of the legal framework related to the
tendering process is another aspect that recommends the partnership with a local
counterpart for securing success.
Despite these difficulties, given the significant size of these EU funded projects, the
interest for participation in such tenders remains very high for suppliers of
equipment and consulting services. There are several aspects that Dutch supplier
should consider in order to increase their success chances when participating to
tendering process, among which we can point:
- Identifying projects in earlier stage It is recommended to interfere / be involved
informally in pre-feasibility / feasibility studies phase, when the technical
solution is designed. The procurement document cannot make reference to a
specific technology (as equality of chances principle should be respected) but
can refer to best available technology (BAT), encouraging in such a case the
high quality technological solutions to be preferred (this can create a competitive
advantage for Dutch suppliers of equipment / technologies).
- Setting up close contact and high degree of awareness at the level of LPA’s (local
public authorities). During the research, many respondents have mentioned that
Dutch technologies are perceived as being of high quality and reliability but, in
many cases, more expensive than the technologies provided by their main
competitors (local, German, Austrian, Italian, etc). In practice, price remains, in
many cases, an important criterion in selecting an offer. If the supplier and its
technologies are well known / well positioned at the level of LPA’s (as a result of
an efficient and continuos promoting policy), the supplier may persuade the
future buyer to decrease the importance of price as a selection criteria and
increase the importance of other criteria such as the quality of technology / the
technical support / the warranty. Thus, Dutch proposals could increase chance of
success in winning tenders.
- Secure the participation in public tenders by teaming up with local partners or
bigger contractors. The local counterparts may have significant added value
for the project (better understand specificity of the market, overcome the
bureaucracy, open more opportunities for collaborating with LPA’s, better
communicate with them, have the capabilities of providing a quick access to
maintenance and service and / or to solve different technical problems that can
appear during the implementation of the project). Another possibility for Dutch
suppliers is to develop good relations with big contractors, that usually are
successful in wining this kind of projects (they have good references, an
Page 29 of 72
important project portfolio, financial capabilities, good connections at LPA’s
level) and afterwards they are subcontracting part of the project to other
suppliers.
During the research, some of the interviewed companies (importers of
equipment) have mentioned that they have developed over the time good
partnership with some important contractors, thus having access to important
public projects. Among the contractors mentioned as successful in the area of
integrated waste management projects the following companies have been more
frequently mentioned: Iridex, Alpine, Hidroconstructia.
- Local presence. There are different options to secure a local presence: joint
venture / partnership with a local counterpart (importer / distributer, contractor
etc.), subsidiary, daughter company etc.
Besides the EU funded projects, it should be mentioned that the Local Authorities
are acquiring equipment also for smaller projects that are financed from own
sources / budgets. However, given the financial constraints in such cases, the “price
factor” is the most important criteria in choosing an offer and quantities of
equipment acquired are limited.
c) Other companies
A significant category of buyers is represented by the companies which are taking
themselves the responsibility of their own waste management, such as large retail
and production companies, major producers of paper / cardboard waste and which
choose to manage their waste internally: Renault, Lisa Draxlmeier, Monte Banato,
Praktiker, Billa, Kaufland etc.
Despite the current economic crisis this category of companies is expanding and
their demand for equipment is expected to remain significant, particularly for baling
presses and shredders. Although part of these companies may choose to acquire the
equipment from their countries of origin, Germany or France for instance, according
to industry experts’ opinion the total value of the equipment sourced from the
Romanian importers exceeds 1 mln EUR a year.
Another category of potential clients is represented by the companies which choose
to incinerate their own waste, particularly companies in the chemical industry and in
pharmaceuticals. Over the coming period, significant demand is expected from these
companies for waste incinerators.
3.2 Available funding for the three sub-sectors researched
a) EU Funding
The Sectorial Operational Programme Environment (SOP) represents the main
framework for the key environmental projects (including waste integrated
management projects) that Romania will carry on in the next years (until 2013),
having the financial support of the European Union through the European Fund for
Regional Development (FEDR).
The projects related to the integrated waste management area will be financed
under the Priority axis 2 “The development of the integrated waste management
systems and the rehabilitation of the historically polluted sites”. The funds allocated
for this subject until 2013 is approximately EUR 1.2 billion, out of which EUR 1 billion
represents the EU grant. The Priority axis 2 is divided in several areas of
intervention, out of which ”Development of integrated waste management and waste
management infrastructure expansion” has a financing amount totaling EUR 991.5
million, of which approximately EUR 793 million is financed by the FEDR and
approximately EUR 198.5 million co - financing by the Romanian state budget.
Page 30 of 72
The eligible applicants
The applicants for these projects are the Local authorities through the County
Councils (Consilii Judetene). It should be mentioned that the Local Authorities from
the areas covered by the project should associate within an Intercommunitary
Development Association (ADI) for the implementation and achievement of the
project results.
Period for submission of the projects
The financing line for Priority axis 2, which is relevant for this research, is open as of
May 2009 and allows submission of applications for EU funded projects until the
whole budget allocated will be consumed. It is expected that projects’ submission
will be completed by the end of 2011.
Type of financed projects
The EU financing scheme for this domain offers subsidies for projects which usually
cover extended regional areas, either urban or rural. The main purpose of the
financial scheme is to implement or complete the infrastructure for the integrated
waste management system, starting from collection and transport to final disposal
and / or recycling solution. There will be funded major projects, with values
exceeding EUR 25 million. Maximum funding of total eligible costs of a project is
98% (of which 80% are provided by FEDR and 18% are provided by the national
budget). Project beneficiaries which usually are the local authorities through the
District Councils must provide the remaining 2% and have to cover the expenditure
for the non - eligible costs.
According to SOP - Environment, the main objectives of the Priority Axis 2 - Area of
intervention “Development of integrated waste management and waste
management infrastructure expansion”, are as follows:
• Increase coverage of the population receiving municipal waste collection and
management services of appropriate quality and affordable tariffs
• Reduce the amount of waste deposited
• Increase the amount of waste recycled and recovered
• Establishment of efficient waste management structures
The operations to be developed under this key area of intervention will finance the
following indicative activities:
• Acquisition and installation of selective collection systems
• Construction of sorting, recycling and composting facilities
• Acquisition of waste transport vehicles
• Construction of municipal waste disposal facilities and transfer stations
• Recovery of gas from landfills, where appropriate
• Construction of adequate facilities for municipal hazardous waste (medical waste, electric and electronics waste, etc.) and other specific municipal waste streams (construction and demolition waste, etc.)
• Closure of non - compliant landfills
• Technical assistance for project preparation, management and supervision, publicity and awareness campaigns (on selective collection, sorting, recycling, composting), institutional governance improvement, tendering and selection of waste services operators.
Current status regarding submission / approvals of projects
In Romania, initially integrated waste management projects were developed with
financial support of ISPA programme (covering the first stage of the preparation of
the projects). These projects will continue with FEDR funding. So far, financing
contracts have been already signed for 10 projects covering the following counties:
Page 31 of 72
Bistrita-Nasaud, Giurgiu, Vrancea, Arad, Sibiu, Mures, Covasna, Botosani, Neamt
and Salaj with a total approved budget of approximately EUR 300 million. The list of
the projects already approved is presented in Annex 1. The beneficiaries have
already organised or will organize tenders for technical assistance, construction
works and equipment supply.
For the other 28 Romanian counties, the funding applications are in the preparation
phase and / or under evaluation with a total investment over EUR 730 mil. The
following counties are in different stages of evaluation / preparation of a project² of
“Solid waste integrated management system “: Maramures, Harghita, Alba, Calarasi,
Cluj, Olt, Suceava, Vaslui, Caras Severin, Timis, Dolj, Arges, Bacau, Galati, Iasi,
Tulcea, Constanta, Braila, Ialomita, Buzau, Prahova, Bihor, Hunedoara, Mehedinti,
Gorj, Valcea, Brasov, Ilfov.
All these projects represent a good opportunity for Dutch investors
(suppliers of equipment and/or technical assistance or consulting services)
to participate in tenders and to provide their technologies and/or services
on the local market.
b) Other financing sources
National Fund for Environment
Numerous projects (small and medium size) with significant impact on the
environment are financed with grants offered by the Environment Fund
Administration (AFM), which is a public institution with legal personality,
subordinated to the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The National
Environment Fund is a financial - economic instrument for supporting
environmental project implementation in accordance with legal provisions on
environmental protection. The financial sources of the Fund are among others: the
taxes collected from issuing the environmental authorizations, taxes for natural
resources exploitation, taxes collected for usage of fuels / combustible with high
level of toxic elements or taxes for trading of dangerous substances with high
concentration of toxicity, taxes requested for performing activities that generate
acoustic pollution, other pollution taxes and other sources established by
Government.
The waste management projects, including hazardous waste management projects,
are among the categories of projects eligible for funding from the National
Environment Fund.
A significant part of these types of projects have already been approved in 2009 /
2010 and the tender process for equipment acquisition has already been organized.
More financial resources will be allocated in 2011, when new sessions for submission
of projects are expected. Dutch companies interested in the progress of these
projects and in updated information on new sessions for project submission can
access the address site: http://www.afm.ro (see path details below).
c) Source of data - site information
Dutch companies interested in information regarding the opportunities available
regarding different financing sources for environmental projects related to waste
management could use, inter alia, the following source of information (useful
internet addresses):
• For SOP Environment access the main page of the site at the following address:
http://www.fonduri-structurale.ro/, then press ”Programe operationale” from the left
menu, then ”Mediu” and chose Descarca POS Mediu (information available in
Romanian and English)
• For The Romanian Ministry of Environment access the main page at
http://www.mmediu.ro (information available in Romanian and in English)
² Situation as per official data available in January 2011
Page 32 of 72
• For the National Agency for Environmental Protection access the main page at
http://www.anpm.ro (information available in Romanian)
• For the Environment Fund Administration (AFM) access the main page at
http://www.afm.ro, than press ”Proiecte” from the left menu, then in the submenu:
o ”Proiecte in curs de finantare” for the projects which are in the process
to be financed, or
o ”Proiecte aprobate de Comitetul de Avizare al AFM care vor fi finantate
prin Fondul pentru mediu” for projects which will be financed with funds
from the Environment Fund.
• For tenders initiated by public authorities / institutions (public procurement
contracts, public works concession contracts and service concession contracts)
access the main page of the Electronic System for Public Acquisitions (SEAP) at
http://www.e-licitatie.ro, then select English version.
www.e-licitatie.ro has two main sections: one for the procurement announcements,
and one for the registration of suppliers and contracting authorities.
In the first section, prior information notices, contract notices and award notices are
published. The description of the supplies, works or services tendered is based on
the CPV5 classification system.
Classification CPV - establishes a single classification system for public procurement
aimed at standardizing the references used by contracting authorities and entities to
describe the subject of procurement contracts. The CPV codes used in Romania are
consistent to the EU Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV)³.
Depending on the amount of the contract, different competitive procedures apply.
Contracts for:
• supply contracts over 125.000 Euro,
• works contracts over 4.845.000 Euro and
• service contracts over 125.000 Euro
need to be awarded via an open tender. Under these thresholds, contracts can be
awarded by restricted tenders, requests for quotation or direct acquisition based on
eCatalogue.
SEAP automatically publishes contract notices that exceed the EU threshold on
Tenders Electronic Daily (TED: http://ted.europa.eu) - the online version of the
'Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union', dedicated to European
public procurement.
The contracting authorities have the legal obligation to perform 40% of the bids
through the electronic System for Public Acquisitions (SEAP). Thus, in order for a
company to be able to participate at the electronic public acquisitions (and
consequently to sale products and services to public authorities), it must be listed in
the registration section of SEAP as an Economic Operator (Supplier). The registration
is done in several steps and includes on-line and offline information. After the
registration has been done, the Economic Operator receives a Digital Certificate /
Digital Signature.
Registration allows suppliers to be invited by contracting authorities to participate in
acquisition procedures and to present their products in an electronic catalogue
(eCatalogue). Registration is free of charge, a fee will however be raised if
exceeding 20 participations per month or 50 eCatalogue positions within 2 years
after registration. Once registered, the company can opt for receiving notifications
on tenders organized for a selection of CPV codes (basically the ones he indicated as
pertaining to his area of activity).

4 Supplement
4.1 Key success conditions & recommendations for Dutch investors
Improve market knowledge/awareness of the Dutch equipment and
technologies
Local Industry experts perceive the Dutch equipment and technologies in waste
management as being of high quality and reliability and most of them have a
relatively good knowledge of the Dutch expertise in the environmental technologies
in general.
However, the research revealed that there are still many private companies active in
the area of waste management that do not have an opinion on Dutch technology, or
they have insufficient information, or even they do not know anything about it.
Therefore a higher effort should be made in promoting and increasing awareness of
Dutch equipment and technologies on the local market, through adequate marketing
and promotion tools.
Dutch companies interested to enter the Romanian market should pay more
attention to build up and implement a well defined long term promotion policy aimed
at ensuring a good visibility on the local market, particularly by participation to local
fairs and exhibitions, by organising special events (seminars, conferences) and / or
by presence in relevant publications . In order to accomplish the above partnerships
with local counterparts is highly advisable.
The German, Austrian or Italian companies are perceived as being ”more present”
and more active on the local market than the Dutch companies, not only providing
waste management equipment and technology, but also as owners and operators of
waste collection, sorting and processing facilities and of landfills.
Flexibility of Price according to market conditions
Research has shown that the Dutch equipment is perceived as rather expensive not
only compared to the local technology, but also to other Western technologies such
as German or Austrian. Such a perception was mentioned by several industry
experts interviewed and one specific example has been indicated related to an
important project, when a solution for a sorting station based on Dutch technology
was 25% more expensive than the winning solution, implemented by the Romanian
company Adarco using a combination of Romanian and German technology.
In order to cut costs and be more competitive on the East European market, some
companies producing environmental equipment have opened manufacturing
capabilities within the targeted region: in Hungary (for instance Avermann), Poland
(the company MBT), while Tehnix Croatia has part of its production in Bacau,
Romania. Dutch companies may as well consider this option in order to become
more competitive price wise within the region.
The issue of the relatively high price of the Dutch technology, when compared to the
competing German or Austrian technologies, can also be addressed by more
efficiently communicating to the market the technical advantages of Dutch
technologies and by providing stronger support to customers.
Support the clients (consulting / technical assistance / financial solutions)
Opinions have been expressed that the German, Austrian or Italian companies show
more flexibility and are more willing to support their clients in environment products
/ technologies than the Dutch, UK or Finnish companies.
The current research has revealed that some important factors influencing
purchasing decision of customers are: the capability of suppliers to offer a ”complete
Page 35 of 72
solution” including support for identification of financing alternatives (such as
operational leasing) and the capability of the supplier to provide ”in time” technical
support.
The Dutch suppliers may provide a consistent support to the local Clients if they set
up a presence on the local market, either by setting up a local office and / or by
developing a long term cooperation with a local partner and, in such a case, invest in
know - how transfer and partner support.
Develop partnerships (with local partners)
During the research some industry experts mentioned that, in some cases, the
Dutch companies that attempted to enter the Romanian market and tried to
participate, in partnership with local players, in different projects were too small
companies, with not sufficient production capacity and financial capabilities,
therefore there was a reluctance of local companies in starting long term co -
operation with this suppliers. In such cases, it is strongly advisable for Dutch
suppliers intending to participate in bigger projects to develop partnerships with well
known local partners and participate as part of a consortium to tenders. Another
option is to develop long term partnerships with “well known contractors” that are
usually winning the most important projects in the area of waste management and
afterward they sub-contract part of it. Such a policy is successfully practiced by
other foreign companies present on the local market.
A partnership with local companies is also recommended given the necessity to
identify projects in early stages that may allow involvement in the phases of
prefeasibility / feasibility studies and providing inputs to the technical solution while
it is drafted. A local partner in close contact with the local public authorities will
facilitate a higher level of awareness as regarding the Dutch offer.
As mentioned before, the capability of suppliers to offer a “complete solution”
including providing support for identification of financing alternatives and to provide
technical support “in time” are other reasons sustaining the importance of a
partnership with a local partner.
