Landfill Management definitions and scope Management: As there is no universally accepted definition for management, it is difficult to define it. (Wikibooks) “Management is to forecast, to plan, to organize, to command, to coordinate and control activities of others.”
§ Henri Fayol (father of modern management) “The transformation of resources into utility.”
§ Fredmund Malik
“Management is a process of working with and through others to achieve organizational objectives in a changing environment, central to this purpose is the effective and efficient use of limited resources.”
§ Rovert Kreitner

Landfill Management definitions and scope
Basics of Management:
According to Fayol, management operates through five basic functions: planning, organizing, coordinating, commanding, and controlling. • Planning: Deciding what needs to happen in the
future and generating plans for action (deciding in advance).
• Organizing (or staffing): Making sure the human and nonhuman resources are put into place.
• Coordinating: Creating a structure through which an organization's goals can be accomplished.
• Commanding (or leading): Determining what must be done in a situation and getting people to do it.
• Controlling: Checking progress against plans.

Landfill Management definitions and scope
Scope (Who and what’s involved ?): § It’s the economy, stupid (Bill Clinton, 1992)
Economics is the study of how a society produces and distributes its desired goods and services. It deals with how society uses its resources to produce goods and services. These economic resources to produce are called Factors of productions.

Landfill Management definitions and scope
Scope (How do we manage all landfills (and not 1) ?): § Plan – Do – Act – Control § Collecting data (COCOON):
• Description of Environment ; • Policy frameworks; • Statistics and Trends; • Best practices.
§ Making decisions (Rawfill) : • Inventory framework ; • Decision Support Tools .
§ Innovation: • Technology (Rawfill, New-Mine,…) • Policy (COCOON)

Frameworks & trends Global context
Global megatrends are large-scale, high impact and often interdependent social, economic, political, environmental or technological changes. Europe is bound to the rest of the world through multiple systems. Global Megatrend 11 :
Diversifying approaches to governance. Introducing an integrated approach Increasing coordination of governance Avoiding competition between actors/policies Decoupling growth and impact Enhancing resource efficiency Promoting Biodiversity and Green cities Improving Mobility (walkable cities) Increasing Transparency and Environmental justice
Ø Sustainable Development Goals

Frameworks & trends European context
“In 2050, we live well, within the planet’s ecological limits. Our prosperity and healthy environment stem from an innovative, circular economy where nothing is wasted and where natural resources are managed sustainably, and biodiversity is protected, valued and restored in ways that enhance our society’s resilience. Our low-carbon growth has long been decoupled from resource use, setting the pace for a safe and sustainable global society."

Frameworks & trends Spatial component
2010 2050 Increase of urban areas in Flanders: in total 7 ha/day; 5 ha/day transformed in residential landuse. Simulation made by Vito for the period 2010 – 2050 shows the impact of urbanisation in Flanders. According to the Planning Agency: population will rise significantly and assessments indicate the need of over 630.000 new dwellings by 2050. ‘Ageing cities’ is not limited to its inhabitants; infrastructure also requires retrofitting to become more sustainable and ready for the future.

Objectives : • Integrated management of Landfills with respect to natural, economic, cultural and social environment; • Providing information on geogenic and anthropogenic resources and reserves at EU-level to enhance the shift to a circular economy; • Delivering guidelines and best practices handbook; • Stimulating innovation; • Introducing proposals / amendments of regulations (1) to facilitate LFM; • …
(1) Understanding environmental regulations and their “alphabet soup” of acronyms can be daunting. (Kathleen Sellers,1999, Fundamentals of hazardous waste site remediation)

LFM Collection of data - information Mapping is more than the number of landfills in EU. Identification of environment, stakeholders and ideas matters. Importance of the governance structure (4 principles): § the use of better evidence for decision making; § greater engagement and empowerment of citizens; § thoughtful investments in expertise and skill building; § closer collaboration with the private and social sectors.
Implementation: § Multi-actor governance § Networks:
• COCOON • EURELCO (European Enhanced Landfill Mining
Consortium : www.eurelco.org) • ISWA, Nicole, …
§ Partnerships: Reclaim, New-Mine, Rawfill,…

Case Flanders: stakeholders engagement on enhanced landfill mining Development of an innovative policy such as ELFM is a complex and time-consuming process (time is also money). Several steps are needed to complete this transition process successfully. Attention should be paid to the following (non-technical) aspects :
• Defining barriers as well as opportunities; • Bringing relevant stakeholders together; • Building confidence and getting broad support; • Pioneers with an open mind; • …

LFM
A phased approach: • Data collection
§ Preliminary investigation § Detailed § Extended
• Decision making § M, E, L, W
• Prioritization § Short, Middle, Long § Interim use
• Actions § Decision Support Tools § Remedial - Removal § Redevelopment § Monitoring – After care
