W A RNR WASTE AND RECYCLING NATIONAL REPORTING

Current NZ Position No national database Lack of consistency, methodology and frequency - OAG report Historically - SWAP completed across test sites and extrapolated OWLS – online waste levy system Waste space is data rich

Internationally Strategic issue of data collection and reporting well recognised Regulatory frameworks Economic instruments Data collection models

Concerns Risk EaseCost Sweet spot

Key considerations Risk Commercial exposure and sensitivity Governance: systems and information sharing Ease (of use) Easy web-based access Consistent reporting outputs Ability to upload historic data Cost Low cost – demonstrate a cost benefit Resource commitment

What is WaRNR? Web-based tool Robust system and user governance levels Collect total waste data Links industry data to SWAP Aligns with industry practices and international reporting standards Recognises waste as ‘products’ – similar to supermarket SKUs Provides aggregated reporting Display formats: pie chart, bar chart and data tables Outputs: printed, export to excel, HTML onscreen Modular in design

Data collection Total waste - not just waste to landfill  Volume  Composition (Primary or secondary classification levels) Infrastructure database Recognises user governance framework and business rules

Evolution of the data model Waste is a series of products Data becomes richer as it moves through the model Richer data is linked to ‘Operator Type’ Operator Type or Roles provide the framework

Richer data collection

Reports Waste by Composition and Volume Potentially Divertible Materials from Landfill Recyclables by Composition and Volume Waste Data Gaps Closed loop waste reporting Performance to Targets and Benchmarks by Composition and Volume

Drilling into the detail Waste by Composition and Volume Receiver type: Landfill, Cleanfill, Market, All Regional level: National, Regional, Specific landfill Receiver: Filtered by Regional selection, single or multi-select Waste classification: SWAP P/S or SIMPLE P/S Start/end dates: User selected range of dates Report output: % Pie and table, bar chart and data table Census Data: includes the per person data from the census

Outputs

Strategic Benefits National database: volume, composition and infrastructure Evidence-based platform for improved:  Analysis  Decision making  Strategic review and deployment  OECD reporting  Industry surveys  Regulatory impact statements  Environmental report cards

Future potential MODULAR DEVELOPMENT Construction & demolition waste Liquid & Hazardous waste Contaminated sites DATABASE DEVELOPMENT Record consent conditions and status or waste disposal facilities Recording of councils progress against their waste minimisation and management plans and other waste-related activities

Current status Completed phase one Working to obtain necessary funding Then commence phase two and three concurrently

Moving forward WasteMINZ: ‘Guardian of the data’ Secure funding partner Broaden stakeholder engagement Commence system development Form technical advisory group Manage data collection Commence pilot Rollout
