The project – ATHENS BIOWASTE Project Duration: Sep 2011 – August 2014 Participants: NTUA, ESDKNA, City of Athens, Municipality of Kifissia, EPTA S.A. Main Targets - Actions: Establishment of a separate collection system for biowaste in the City of Athens and the Municipality of Kifissia (pilot area of 3000 inhabitants in each Municipality) Composting of the biowaste in the MBT facility of ESDKA Evaluating compost quality Development of a bio-waste management software tool

Case Study Areas Athens Area: 3.795ha Population: 789.166 Density: 207 inh/ha Zone Price: 1000-8500€/m 2 Kifissia Area: 3.403ha Population: 64.558 Density: 19 inh/ha Zone Price: 1250 – 4550 €/m 2

City of Athens Case Study Areas 1 st area KYPRIADOU 2 nd area GAZI Population: 2.707 Density: 188 inh/ha Zone Price: 1.500€/m 2 Population: 1.367 Density: 50 inh/ha Zone Price: 1.100€/m 2 Local Touristic Zone
5
Municipality of Kifissia Case study - areas Commercial Centre of Kifissia and N. Eryrthaia Low density areas: Kefalari & Kastri (15-20 inh/ha), Medium density areas: Kato Kifissia & N. Kifissia (40 inh/ha)
6
Methods of Separate Collection Kerbside Collection with 2-wheel bins 120-360 lt. ▫ for the whole City of Athens ▫ Commercial areas in Kifissia ▫ Medium density areas in Kifissia Door-to-door Collection with home Containers ≈30 lt ▫ for low density areas in Kifissia Door-to-door Collection with 2-wheel bins ≈120 lt ▫ For restaurants and hotels or other major producers
7
Methods of Separate Collection Kitchen caddies/bins 7lt Bags from compostable organic material (like corn or potato starch) or paper Collection with small vehicle 5m 3 with low compaction Online fleet monitoring system
8
Methods of Awareness Campaign Wide dissemination through local press & radio Focused on citizens: ▫ 1 st Phase: Letter of the Mayor to the participating citizens together with an informational leaflet ▫ 2 nd Phase: Distribution of home caddies/bins & bags & one page brochure ▫ 3 rd Phase: Feedback & supply of compost initiation of separate collection
9
How the project can contribute to the waste management policy in Greece? By demonstrating to other Municipalities how a separate collection system for biowaste can be planned and implemented By initiating composting of biowaste in the greater Athens area, taking into account that 3 composting plants are to be constructed within the next years By evaluating the compost quality in accordance with standards such as Eco-Label correlating it with different collection systems By producing an innovative software tool which will evaluate the carbon footprint as well as the costs of alternative biowaste collection and treatment solutions.
