Waste management in the Netherlands
Vibrant India Day
Round Table meeting
22th October 2012
Nijenrode University
European waste and resource policy is pushing us forward
MS are challenged to reduce environmental impact from wastemanagement and to improve resource efficiency of industry
EU policy strategies: • Thematic Strategy on the prevention and recycling of waste• Integrated Product Policy (IPP)• European Sustainable Consumption and Production Policies• Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources
EU Leading documents:
Waste framework directive plus many resulting more specified waste directivesRoadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe
NL : modern waste policy and management
NL waste and resource policy focused on:• establishing a circular economy with zero waste• reducing the need and input of (imported) primary resources • reducing the overall enviromental impact in the product life cycle
Leading waste document: national waste management plan setting (1) policy targets and (2) providing a management framework for 83 waste streams to guide licencing and setting minimal treatment levels:
Notice: NL waste targets often exceed the European targets and our scores are leading in Europe
Strong private involvement and public cooperation with modern equipement for waste collection and treatment
Government is promoting green public procurement and encouraging the developing of new business models using less resources
>> Focus on environment4
With high recycling rates: for all waste 80% and target for 83% in 2015. For municipal waste increase from 52% to 65%

Screening of waste management performance of EU Member States by the European Commission
Exporting knowledge, technology and experiences
Co-operation in EU-funded projects with foreign agencies, ministries and companies
Support export of waste treatment technology (NWMP)
Accomodate foreign delegations to investigate NL practices
Share best practices in waste and resource management networks
Introduced in NL in 1978, and since then we’re climbing the stairs:
From 1990 focused on reduction of landfilling and on emission control with incineration (landfill taxing was very successful)
From 1995 focus on increasing recycling
From 2000 a strong new impuls for re-use (e-bay)
From 2010 we’re working on a national waste prevention programme (although waste prevention activities are widely spread already)
Hierarchy in Waste Management
Prevention: RE product design
>> Focus on environment9 9
Active development as a sector (BKN):58 organizations, 183 re-use shops, 8000 employees
Internet boost of re-use: NL “marktplaats.nl” (part of E-bay)
Municipalities support re-use shops:
Financial support for re-integration of employees to the labor market (Corporate Social Responsibility)
Financial support for service of waste collection and discarding waste for free at municipal amenity centers
Current situation Re-use

More examples of re-use: spare parts ELV and cloths
