A healthy environment is essential if we are to safeguard our prosperity and quality of life in the long term. As a result, we need strict environmental laws that are at the same time a spur to innovation and which present companies with opportunities. We all need to strive to find models of production and consumption that are more sustainable, that pay greater heed to the environment and people’s health and that do more to protect the present and the future.

The Catalan Waste Agency will contribute &28,466.36. PLASTIC WASTE FROM GREENHOUSES In 2003, the Catalan Recycling Centre co-ordinated the agreement signed by the Catalan Waste Agency, Vilassar de Mar Town Council, the Alt Maresme Federation and the Santboianà Agricultural Co-operative with a view to recovering plastic from greenhouses generated by intensive farming activities. A grant of &50,000 was given to purchase two presses, one for the tip in the municipality of Vilassar de Mar and the other for the Santboianà Agricultural Co-operative. The Catalan Waste Agency has also issued 500 information leaflets. In accordance with this agreement, the Catalan Waste Agency will provide 20% of the material investment up to a maximum of &1,202,024.21, and will guarantee the price for managing this type of waste collected in municipal rubbish. The plant opened in El Pont de Vilomara i Rocafort in October 2003 and was ready to receive and recover small domestic appliances, computer, telecommunication and other technological equipment, electrical consumer items, toys, regulating and monitoring instruments, etc. THE MANAGEMENT OF WASTE AS BY-PRODUCTS Fifty-four by-product applications were resolved favourably and 73 new ones were received. The technical aspects of all the new applications for managing waste as by-products were evaluated and all the companies interested in this kind of management were given advice. STUDIES INVOLVING THE CATALAN RECYCLING CENTRE The Catalan Recycling Centre monitored the following studies in 2003: — The recovery and use by the Technical University of Catalonia of incineration slag and slag produced during steelmaking in an electric arc furnace. — The inerting and recovery by the University of Barcelona of asbestos waste. — The inerting and recovery by the Manresa Technology Centre of mine waste and galvanic sludge. — Industrial ecology applied to the tanning and paper industries by the Igualada University School of Technical Industrial Engineering.

TECHNIQUES TO DEAL WITH CONTAMINATED SOIL The purpose of drawing up methodological guides and technical studies is to promote the implementation of CONTAMINATED SOIL standard operating procedures and the use of innovative technologies to research and recover contaminated soils. The PROGRIC takes into account the changes in soil management in recent years in Catalonia, as well as new approaches taken at a European level, and defines the targets that will make it possible to arrive at a system that will improve the prevention of soil contamination and the management of contaminated soils. The most noteworthy action taken in this sphere was: THE MANAGEMENT OF CONTAMINATED SOILS: EVALUATION OF RESEARCH STUDIES AND PROJECTS TO RECOVER CONTAMINATED SOIL Studies and projects to research and recover contaminated soil need to be evaluated in order to confirm that the action taken by those responsible for contaminating the soil is in all cases the appropriate action to remedy the problem that has been identified. This work is done through accredited bodies that produce the corresponding evaluation, assessment and validation reports on studies and projects. In 2003, a total of 97 reports were produced. Initiatives that came to an end in 2003: — Laboratory tests to identify chemical incompatibilities between sampling materials and organic contaminants present in the soil. — The possibilities and limitations of phytoremediation to treat soil contaminated with lead in Catalonia. — Methodology to simply evaluate the risks presented by industrial activities (ASRI). — The comparison of programs that analyse risk to human health. — The study to identify former industrial areas in Catalonia. — A guide on environmental criteria to characterise and reclaim former industrial areas in Catalonia now affected by urban developments. — A review of the methodologies employed by various countries to establish baseline and benchmark values. — A study of fixed plants to treat contaminated soils in Europe. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA FOR MANAGING COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PACKAGING 30/31 A campaign was initiated in 2003 to encourage the setting up of a System of Deposits on Packaging and Refunds on Return in companies that were reusing their packaging.

CO-OPERATION, FLEXIBILITY, INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION This is the first of the two cross-core areas that includes initiatives that affect more than one of the core areas on minimisation, recovery, disposal, protection of the soil and the criteria for managing commercial and industrial packaging waste. The 2001-2006 Catalan Industrial Waste Management Programme states that there is a need to move on from the system of obligations and monitoring employed so far by establishing a tendency to achieve goals that go beyond strict compliance with rules and regulations, by facilitating companies’ access to information and technical advice, and by raising people’s awareness. The most noteworthy action taken in this sphere was: This prize publicly recognises all the agents, industrial companies, research centres, individuals in work, students and institutions who have made their mark by embracing both the use of recycled materials in their products or projects and recycling at the end of the product’s useful life This second round of prizes was supported by leading bodies from the world of design and environment, including ADI-FAD (the Industrial Design and Decorative Arts Association), the Barcelona Design Centre and the ECOMED POLLUTEC exhibition. The presentation of 41 nominations for the prizes in 2003 contributed towards the consolidation of the "Design for Recycling: The Recycled/Recyclable Product" awards. A publication was also issued, giving details of the nominees and the winners in each of the five categories.

THE PURPOSE OF THE PRIZE IS TO HONOUR PRODUCTS, PROJECTS AND STRATEGIES THAT TAKE RECYCLING AND RECYCLABILITY INTO ACCOUNT IN THEIR DESIGN. INDUSTRIAL WASTE DECLARATION The number of industrial waste declarations made in Catalonia in 2003 was 22,363, an increase of 1.94% over the previous year. The total waste declared amounted to 5,865,126 metric tonnes, a fall of 1.26% in comparison with 2002. It should be noted that 66.89% of this waste was managed using recovery methods. Telematic presentation of the declaration via the Waste Document System (SDR) was introduced in 2003. Of all the declarations made, 33% were presented via the Internet using the SDR. HAZARDOUS WASTE STORAGE Article 15.3 of Royal Decree 833/88 regulates the time hazardous waste may be stored, limiting it to a period of six months. Fifteen technical reports were drawn up in 2003 in response to enquiries from companies concerning hazardous waste storing. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY EPER-CAT 2002 The Catalan Waste Agency was involved in drawing up the list of emissions and sources of pollution in Catalonia in accordance with article 15 of Directive 96/61/EC concerning integrated pollution prevention and control issued on 24 September 1996 by the European Council. In 2003, the Catalan Waste Agency provided information on the production of waste and the output capacity of 22 companies. A list of 126 waste managers, 86 of whom are affected by the EC directive, was drawn up. 32/33 The Catalan Waste Agency is the competent authority that controls the import/export of waste between Catalonia and other countries in the European Union. Authorisation was granted in 2003 for: 70 crossborder exported shipments of waste to various countries in the EU (Belgium, Germany, France, Italy and Holland) and 25 cross-border imported shipments of waste from Portugal and the Principality of Andorra. Furthermore, 2,282 shipments of waste between autonomous communities were also checked. RESPONSE TO COMPLAINTS AND INSPECTION VISITS A total of 1,147 inspection dossiers were opened. These TECHNICAL EVALUATION OF PROJECTS resulted in 4,084 visits and 765 summonses. The — Waste manager permits (General Register of Waste Managers). inspection visits came about in response to 351 complaints, 366 checks on waste producers, 386 checks on managers and a further 121 visits arising from various issues to do with waste declarations. A number of specific courses of action were taken, with ongoing monitoring to guard against improper management of certain types of waste such as incinerable hazardous waste, used containers and packing and liquid waste. With regard to the waste managers, 3,323 visits were made, 386 of which were inspections by inspectors from the Catalan Waste Agency themselves. and 2,937 of which were checks made with the support of external In 2003: — Two projects were assessed for authorisation as waste managers.

AWARENESS-RAISING CAMPAIGNS (ECOPIL) The Catalan Waste Agency continued to promote campaigns to increase the number of used batteries collected through the special battery-shaped receptacles placed in shops and elsewhere. These containers also serve as a support for advertising, spreading the messages that encourage people to deposit this kind of waste in the appropriate place. PARTICIPATION IN EXHIBITIONS AND FAIRS The Catalan Waste Agency participated in the fourth ECOMED POLLUTEC (11 to 17 March 2003), an event attended by authorities, companies and experts in environmental matters. PUBLICATIONS Empresa i Medi Ambient magazine: a publication aimed at more than 22,000 waste producers and 600 waste managers. The purpose of this magazine is to provide news and views on numerous themes related to companies and the environment. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE NEW SYSTEM OF DOCUMENTS FOR MANAGING WASTE (SDR) IS TO SIMPLIFY PAPERWORK PROCESSING, ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR PAPERS OR VISITS IN PERSON AND MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO DEAL WITH DOCUMENTATION AT ANY TIME. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY The new Waste Document System came into operation in October 2003. This project required an investment of &1,116,988 and was financed in full by the Catalan Waste Agency. COMPUTERISED SYSTEM FOR MAKING THE ANNUAL INDUSTRIAL WASTE DECLARATION The seventh version of the Help Programme for making the Annual Industrial Waste Declaration (PADRI’03) was designed. Important features in this version are: — The option to send the declaration via the CAT365 Portal. — The option to send the declaration via the Waste Document System. — The automatic generation of an entry record for declarations presented via the Internet. — The option to download declarations made in 2002 using the Waste Document System. 34/35 The exercised involved participating in two analytical circuits and analysing three different samples, one consisting of sludge from a water treatment plant and the other two of mineral oils in soil. The analysis of the sludge from the treatment plant consisted of determining the loss of lipophilic substances, the unsaponifiable fraction, metals and a lixiviation test at 105ºC/500ºC. Analysis of the leachate checked its pH, conductivity, TOC, AOX, anions, metals and chromium IV. The analysis of the two mineral oils consisted of determining the: PCBs in three solid samples (soils), chlorine, total sulphur and superior calorific power. — AQUACHECK INTERCOMPARISON: analysis of three samples of water in which ammonia, phosphate and total phosphor were identified; and the analysis of PCBs in three solid samples (soils). — UNIVERSITY OF THE BALEARIC ISLANDS INTERCOMPARISON: the determination of AOX in two samples of well water. LABORATORY AND ANALYTICAL ACTIVITY The laboratory continued to give support in 2003 to the various departments in the Catalan Waste Agency, this being its main objective. All the results in the various exercises were very good. The laboratory’s analytical activity in 2003 included making final adjustments to the new lixiviation method that is in keeping with EN 12457-2. This new The laboratory’s analytical activity in 2003 consisted of: — Samples received: 354. — Estimated analytical determinations: 11,900. test is one of the lixiviation methods proposed by the decision of the council on 19 December 2002, which establishes the criteria and procedures for disposing of waste in landfill sites.

A brief description is given below of these exercises: — CALITAX INTERCOMPARISON: an analysis of three solid samples (sludge from a water treatment plant) in which metal, pH, organic matter, conductivity, cyanides and phosphor were found. — MAT CONTROL INTERCOMPARISON: as in previous years and in accordance with article 2 of the Order dated 1 June 1995, and as an analytical check on laboratories, an intercomparative exercise was organised by the laboratory of the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Barcelona, with the technical advice of the laboratory of the Catalan Waste Agency. A total of 21 laboratories took part: the nine accredited by the Catalan Waste Agency, the laboratory of the Catalan Waste Agency itself and eleven laboratories in waste treatment companies and/or waste managers in Spain. The results obtained using the two leachates (DIN 38414-S4 and EN 12457-2) were very similar. LABORATORY QUALITY SYSTEM The objectives in 2003 as regards quality were: — To continue the ongoing improvements to the Quality System in the laboratory in Montmeló, while keeping the necessary documentation: Quality Manual, management procedures and analytical and instrument procedures. — To meet the quantifiable quality objectives set by the laboratory itself for measurable processes such as: customer satisfaction, analytical testing (meeting analysis deadlines and the list of "non-conformities"), the issuing of reports and the analytical control programme (satisfactory results in the intercomparative exercises). — To satisfactorily pass the third and final follow-up audit by the National Accreditation Board (ENAC) for ISO 17025 certification accrediting the technical competence of testing laboratories in the physicochemical analysis of waste. LABORATORY ACCREDITATIONS New accreditations There were no new accreditations issued in 2003 for the physicochemical analysis of the properties of waste in accordance with the orders of 1 June 1995 and 26 All these objectives were satisfactorily reached. On 14 September 2000. May 2003, the ENAC audit took place.

The overall objectives of the Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme establish that the purpose of initiatives is to ensure adequate waste management and a good collection service, greater emphasis on training on waste management for those responsible and increased awareness among citizens. Law 6/1993, which regulates waste, stipulates that local councils are the competent bodies responsible for managing municipal waste. The role of the Catalan Waste Agency is to see to it that this management is as effective as possible and that the objectives laid down in the Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme are complied with. The Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme establishes a number of general and quantitative targets for the period 2001-2006 and identifies a series of initiatives that can be grouped into four core areas of action: — Prevention. — Recovery. — Disposal. — Awareness-raising and communication. Four projects that are part of the Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme in 2002 were monitored during the course of 2003 and ten new projects were given approval: — Sabadell City Council: "Environmental Education Workshop to Promote Consumption Habits that Prevent the Generation of Waste in Sabadell". — Borges Blanques Town Council: "Programme to Prevent the Generation of Municipal Waste in Borges Blanques. We save waste in Borges Blanques". — Palafrugell Town Council: "Campaign to Reduce Waste in Palafrugell. Action to Reduce Waste in a Tourist Town". — El Corte Inglés – Hipercor: "Project to Prevent Municipal Waste at El Corte Inglés and Hipercor Centres in Catalonia". — Torrelles de Llobregat Town Council: "A Tax on Generation. A Fiscal Means to Encourage a Reduction in Municipal Waste". — Cassà de la Selva Town Council: "Project to Prevent Municipal Waste in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres". — Reus City Council: "The Less Waste, The Better". — Bon Preu supermarkets: "Project to Prevent Municipal Waste at Bon Preu Group Centres in Catalonia". — Hotel Alimara: "Project to Prevent Municipal Waste at the Hotel Alimara". With these projects, a total of 14 bodies had signed the Accord to Prevent Municipal Waste by the end of 2003. FIRST SEMINAR ON PREVENTING MUNICIPAL WASTE PREVENTION Prevention is a priority goal as regards waste that is difficult to use, that is superfluous or which has a harmful impact on the environment or human health. The most noteworthy action in this core area in 2003 was: ACCORD TO PREVENT MUNICIPAL WASTE This accord, promoted by the Catalan Recycling Centre, was signed on 4 July 2002 by the Catalan Waste Agency, the Catalan Association of Municipalities and Districts, the Catalan Federation of Municipalities, the Catalan Council of Food Distributors (CEDAC), the National Association of Major Distribution Companies (ANGED), the Catalan Trade Confederation (CCC), ECOEMBES and ECOVIDRIO. Its purpose is to channel the action in the Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme to prevent municipal waste through specific initiatives set in motion by public and private bodies in Catalonia. To mark the first anniversary of the signing of the Accord to Prevent Municipal Waste in Catalonia and the publication by the European Commission of a draft of its strategy to prevent and recycle waste, the First Seminar on Preventing Municipal Waste was held on 8 July 2003 in the Auditorium of the Palau de Mar in Barcelona. The seminar was organised by the Catalan Recycling Centre and was aimed at public and private bodies in Catalonia. Its purpose was to provide participants with the opportunity to share information about pioneering experiments at home and abroad that addressed the issue of preventing municipal waste. The seminar was a great success and was attended by 120 participants. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY PREVENTION IS THE BEST STRATEGY FOR ENSURING THAT WASTE THAT IS DIFFICULT TO USE OR IS UNNECESSARY IS NOT GENERATED. The seminar was divided into two clearly distinctive sessions, one focussing on issues to do with theory and the other more practical in approach. The aspects covered in the seminar were: — The prospects for prevention in the European Union and Catalonia. — The technical, financial, communication and participation tools to prevent municipal waste. — A presentation of the experiences of the organisations that have signed the Accord to Prevent Municipal Waste in Catalonia. — A round table on the views of people working to prevent municipal waste. — A presentation of the case of Vienna as a European city that has successfully organised initiatives to encourage the prevention of municipal waste. The seminar’s conclusions demonstrate that achieving a significant reduction in waste can only be achieved through the combined use of technical, financial and communication tools and the commitment of everyone who plays a part in waste generation (manufacturers, distributors, retailers, the authorities and consumers). 66/67 RECOVERY Among the main courses of action in the model for managing municipal waste in Catalonia detailed in the Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme are the separate collection of municipal waste and its treatment. New infrastructure to treat municipal waste was built during the course of 2003 and the infrastructure already in existence has been adapted to meet modern requirements. This work was done within the framework of agreements to conduct refurbishment work and to build new infrastructure. Some of the works were commissioned and financed by the Catalan Waste Agency, whereas others were contracted by the various local services, with partial or full financing from the Catalan Waste Agency. THE TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF WASTE FROM ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES A total of 2,650 metric tonnes of scrapped electrical and electronic appliances were collected during 2003 as a result of a pilot project to collect and treat this waste from collection centres throughout Catalonia. This project was commissioned by the Catalan Waste Agency through the Catalan Recycling Centre. At the same time, manufacturers and distributors of electrical and electronic appliances were advised of their future obligations in current legislation and legislation now being drafted. The Catalan Waste Agency also supported initiatives set up by civic society to reuse computer equipment, a case in point being its co-operation with the SISOSCAT Foundation to promote access to the new technologies for disadvantaged groups through the reuse of such equipment. On 5 November 2003, the Catalan Recycling Centre, in collaboration with APROMA, organised a seminar on "The New Management of Waste from Scrapped Electrical and Electronic Appliances", which was attended by over 70 participants. SCRAPPED VEHICLES In 2003, the Catalan Recycling Centre notified breakers, dealers and local councils of the obligation to use destruction certificates and the new procedure for removing vehicles from the Vehicles Register. The Catalan Recycling Centre also co-operated with the Catalan Recovery Guild as a means to work towards achieving the scrapped vehicle recycling targets, and took part in the workgroups organised by the Spanish Ministry of the Environment on implementing Royal Decree 1383/2002. RECOVERING GLASS, PAPER, LIGHT PACKAGING AND OTHER TYPES OF WASTE The main objective of this area of action is to improve the separate collection of these types of waste by providing a better service through the participation of all parties involved and through better planning and organisation. The most noteworthy action in this sphere in 2003 was: Collaboration accords As part of the action taken in the core area of recovering municipal waste, the following agreements were signed: — A collaboration accord signed on 24 February 2004 by the Catalan Waste Agency and the Federation of Andalusian Cultural Bodies in Catalonia (FECAC) to establish collaboration and to expand the integrated projects that encourage proper management of municipal waste at all the cultural and recreational events that the FECAC planned to organise during 2003. The Catalan Waste Agency provided a grant of &83,000 as a subsidy. — A collaboration accord signed on 30 October by the Department of the Environment and the Catalan Cross-Sector Association of Recoverers and Social Companies to collect separated municipal waste and to foster the incorporation of the service sector into society and the world of work. Light packaging sorting facilities A new plant to sort light packaging began operating in Llagostera in 2003. The facilities at the plants in Gavà-Viladecans and Berga were also extended. The new plant at Llagostera brings the number of municipal waste sorting facilities in service in Catalonia to 15 (five sorting plants and ten light packaging sorting plants). The ten light packaging sorting plants handled more than 44,900 metric tonnes, of which 30,300 tonnes (68% of the total) were recovered. Improvements to the network of collection centres in Catalonia Twenty-six new collection centres came into operation in 2003: St. Andreu de la Barca (Metropolitan Board of Hydraulic and Waste Treatment Services), Cadaqués (Alt Empordà), Sallent, Navàs, St. Vicenç de Castellet, Artés, Santpedor, Balsareny, Castellbell i el Vilar and Avinyó (Bages), Olesa de Montserrat (Baix Llobregat), Celrà (Gironès), Mora d’Ebre (Ribera d’Ebre), Tossa de Mar (La Selva), Tàrrega, Bellpuig i Agramunt (Urgell), Sabadell II (Vallès Occidental), Aiguafreda (Vallès Oriental) and seven small collection centres in Barcelona (EMSHTR). The Grant Order for 2003 on subsidies for opening collection centres around Catalonia continued to have an impact on the concepts and guidelines established in the 2001-2006 Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme. The concepts for which grants were payable included the opening of neighbourhood collection centres in large urban centres, the opening of collection centres in municipalities with between 2,000 and 5,000 inhabitants, improvements, extensions and complementary equipment such as weighing machinery at collection centres in operation, as well as mobile collection units. Financial co-operation on implementing the collection centre programme in 2003 resulted in a total of &2,450,000 being given in grants to 31 local bodies, resulting in the following: THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY 68/69 BRINGING COLLECTION CENTRES CLOSER TO CITIZENS IS ESSENTIAL AS A MEANS TO INCREASE THE SEPARATE COLLECTION OF MUNICIPAL WASTE AND SO ENSURE THE RECOVERY OF USEFUL MATERIALS, AS WELL AS SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TYPES OF WASTE THAT REQUIRE IT. — 27 new-build collection centres: EMSHTR (10), Santa Cristina d’Aro Town Council (1), Begur Town Council (1), Tarragonès District Council (1), Montroig del Camp Town Council (1), Pla de Santa Maria Town Council (1), Vidreres Town Council (1), La Selva District Council (4), Vilafant Town Council (1), Gironès District Council (1), Ripollès District Council (2), Solsonès District Council (1) and La Segarra Urban Waste Management Consortium (1). — 38 initiatives to improve and upgrade works and equipment: Sant Pol de Mar Town Council (1), Vilaseca Town Council (1), Martorell Town Council (1), Calonge Town Council (1), Palau-solità i Plegamans Town Council (1), Reus City Council (1), Tàrrega Town Council (1), Valls Town Council (1), Priorat District Council (1), Gironès District Council (1), Bages District Council (1), Conca de Barberà District Council (1), Pallars Jussà District Council (1), Ribera d’Ebre District Council (1) and the EMSHTR (24). — 3 mobile collection units; Baix Ebre District Council (1), La Segarra Urban Waste Management Consortium (1) and Priorat District Council (1). The distribution of collection centres around the country at the end of 2003 was as follows: State and number of collection centres Operating 224 Under construction 16 Being processed 47 Total 287 In addition, nine mobile collection units were handed over to local bodies, making a total of 31 such units already in operation or about to go into service in Catalonia at the end of 2003. Separate glass waste collection The amount of glass waste collected in Catalonia in 2003 rose to 178,312.97 metric tonnes, including glass left in bottle banks or collected by the door-todoor service, commercial municipal collection, collection centres and commercial collection not associated with any particular municipality or district. This represents an increase in separate glass waste collection of 49.71% over the previous year and was 4.47% of the total municipal waste generated. Citizens played an important part in separate glass waste collection, with an average of 26.60 kg collected per head of population over the year. Separate paper and cardboard waste collection The amount of paper and cardboard waste collected in Catalonia in 2003 rose to 271,047.94 metric tonnes, including paper and cardboard left in recycling banks or collected by the door-to-door service, commercial municipal collection, collection centres and commercial collection not associated with any particular municipality or district. This represents an increase in separate paper and cardboard waste collection of 8% over the previous year and was 6.79% of the total municipal waste generated. Citizens played an important part in separate paper and cardboard waste collection, with an average of 40.43 kg collected per head of population over the year. Work continued in 2003 within the framework of the collaboration accord between the Government of Catalonia and the FEMAREC, SCCL association, which collects paper from the offices of the Government of Catalonia. This agreement has been extended for a further two years. A total of 4,264 collections of separate paper waste were made in 2003, picking up 1,125 metric tonnes that were sent for recovery. Separate light packaging waste collection The amount of light packaging waste collected in Catalonia in 2003 rose to 58,063.32 metric tonnes, including light packaging left in recycling banks or collected by the door-to-door service, commercial municipal collection, collection centres and commercial collection not associated with any particular municipality or district. This represents an increase in separate light packaging waste collection of 52.65% over the previous year and was 1.46% of the total municipal waste generated (SC/MW). Citizens played an important part in separate light packaging waste collection, with an average of 8.66 kg collected per head of population over the year. Separate used battery collection A total of 502.19 metric tonnes of used large batteries and button cells were collected in 2003 from 20,264 collection points in municipalities. The number of town councils collaborating in this initiative rose from 855 to 926. Separate waste medicines collection The collection of unwanted household medicines continued through the Pharmaceutical Industry Integrated Packaging and Packaging Waste Management System (SIGRE), which was set up in 2001.A fines de 2003, había 2.914 farmacias adheridas al SIGRE, de las que 2.073 corresponden a Barcelona, 296 a Girona, 191 a Lleida y 354 a Tarragona. At the end of 2003, there were 2,914 chemists’ participating in the SIGRE, 2,037 of them in Barcelona, 296 in Girona, 191 in Lleida and 354 in Tarragona. In total, 333.92 metric tonnes of medicines and medicine packaging were collected, of which 23.3% came from primary health clinics and the remaining 76.7% from chemists’. The rise in collection over 2002 was not significant as the collection of unwanted medicines is already well established in chemists’. Approximately 40% of this waste, specifically paper and cardboard, glass, plastic and metal, was recycled. Integrated Management Systems ECOEMBES and ECOVIDRIO had to renew their authorisations as integrated packaging management systems in Catalonia in 2003. Following the renewal of their authorisations, negotiations began on renewing collaboration accords. The separate waste collection conducted within the framework of the collaboration accords with the Integrated Management Systems in Catalonia (ECOEMBES and ECOVIDRIO) rose considerably in 2003, as in previous years. The weight of glass collected as a result of the accords rose to 86,900 metric tonnes in 2003, representing an increase of 11% over 2002. There was also a rise in the amount of separated paper and cardboard waste, with 133,300 metric tonnes collected, 10.5% more than in 2002. Lastly, the collection of light packaging rose proportionally more than any other type of waste by 23.9%, reaching 44,350 metric tonnes in 2003. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY Promoting specific separate collection initiatives Work continued to promote the separate collection of paper and cardboard in company premises and offices, in schools and in other bodies, with 12,538 cardboard collection bins given out. The collaboration established in the agreement between the Catalan Waste Agency and the Catalan Cross-Sector Association of Recoverers and Social Enterprises (AIRES) continued in 2003. The Catalan Waste Agency worked with the Barcelona Port Authority and the TRINIJOVE Foundation to set up the separate collection of glass, cans and packaging waste at Barcelona Port. This service covers passenger waiting areas, as well as the bars and restaurants used by passengers and personnel throughout the entire port area. ECOVIDRIO also collaborated on the project. The Catalan Waste Agency made an investment of &19,193.71 in this initiative. Talks began towards the close of the year with the Department of Justice with a view to establishing a collaboration accord that would make it possible in the future to implement environmentally friendly changes in prisons in Catalonia. It is expected that a pilot project will initially be set up to establish a separate waste collection service in Girona Penitentiary Centre. For the third year running, the Catalan Waste Agency worked with the Federation of Andalusian Cultural Bodies in Catalonia (FECAC) in 2003 on environmental aspects of the federation’s main events. This collaboration was formalised in an accord and covered Andalusia Day, the April Fair and the El Rocio festival. The main goal of this initiative was to promote separate waste collection adapted to suit the circumstances of each particular event. The promotion of separate waste collection was reinforced by communication campaigns to raise awareness of environmental issues. As part of this initiative, the separate collection of glass, packaging, organic matter, paper and cardboard and cooking oil was encouraged at the various stands in the fair enclosure. This led to a notable increase in collection, with separate collection of 46% of the waste generated compared with 29% in 2002. 70/71 RECOVERY OF ORGANIC WASTE The main goals of this area of action are firstly to achieve a rate of separate organic municipal waste collection that will reduce the volume of organic matter disposed of in landfill sites, and secondly to complete the network of facilities in place to recover this kind of waste. The most noteworthy action in this sphere was: Separate organic waste collection On 7 March 2003, the Official Gazette of Catalonia published the call for applications for grants to foster the separate collection of organic municipal waste. Grants were made available for buckets and biodegradable bags, containers, information campaigns and other concepts strictly linked to encouraging separate organic waste collection, such as the creation of organic waste transfer points or separate collection vehicles. The call for applications resulted in grants totalling &2,800,000 being given to 47 municipal and supramunicipal bodies. The announcements of the successful applications were made on 27 June and 23 October 2003. Over the course of 2003, a total of 13 municipalities joined the 131 that were already running a separate collection service for organic municipal waste. There are, as a result, now 144 municipalities around Catalonia collecting organic waste separately. The municipalities that began this service during 2003 are: Castellar del Vallès (Vallès Occidental), Sta. Perpètua de Moguda (Vallès Occidental), Sant Fost de Campsentelles (Vallès Oriental), Bigues and Riells (Vallès Oriental) Constantí (Tarragonès), Cabrils (Maresme), Ulldecona (Montsià), Navàs (Bages), St. Andreu de Llavaneres (Maresme), Vilassar de Mar (Maresme), Amposta (Montsià) and Vilobí d’Onyar (La Selva). In addition, a number of municipalities that had begun earlier to collect organic municipal waste separately extended the service to cover a larger area. It is estimated that by the end of 2003 2,200,000 residents were served by the separate organic waste collection service. Even though a large bin on the street (occupying the pavement and limiting the volume that can be collected) is the most common method for collecting organic municipal waste separately, the door-to-door method of collection is becoming increasingly widespread. Of the 144 municipalities that collect organic waste separately, 17 have turned over to door-todoor collection. The experience of these 17 municipalities indicates that door-to-door collection gives better quantitative and qualitative results for separate organic waste collection but also makes it possible to collect other types of municipal waste that can be recovered. In municipalities in Catalonia where this kind of collection has been introduced, 150,335.38 metric tonnes of organic waste were collected in 2003, representing an increase of 42.66% over 2002. Methanisation plants for treating organic waste In 2003, 157,236.26 metric tonnes of organic matter were treated by methanisation at Ecoparc 1 (Barcelona). Biological treatment plants (Composting and anaerobic digestion) Composting WORKS COMMISSIONED BY THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY Work began on the construction of the composting plant in Olot (Garrotxa). The Catalan Waste Agency also monitored progress on the works begun in 2002 on composting plants in Tàrrega (Urgell), Santa Coloma de Farners (La Selva), L’Espluga de Francolí (Conca de Barberà), Jorba (Anoia) and Tremp (Pallars Jussà). Construction work was completed on the Tàrrega Composting Plant (Urgell) in 2003 and improvements to the Santa Coloma de Farners Composting Plant (La Selva) were also finished. WORKS COMMISSIONED BY LOCAL BODIES The expansion of the composting plant and transfer plant in the municipality of Botarell, arising from the collaboration accord between the Catalan Waste Agency and the Baix Camp District Council, was monitored. Anaerobic digestion and composting ECOPARC 1 (BARCELONA) AND ECOPARC 2 (MONTCADA I REIXAC) Works arising from the collaboration protocol between the Spanish Ministry of the Environment, the Catalan Waste Agency of the Department of the Environment of the Government of Catalonia and the Metropolitan Board of Hydraulic and Waste Treatment Services (EMSHTR) were monitored. ECOPARC 1 (Barcelona) was completed and is now in operation. ECOPARC 2 (Montcada i Reixac) was completed at the end of the year. Anaerobic digestion and sorting ANAEROBIC DIGESTION AND COMPOSTING (TERRASSA) Construction work was in progress at the end of 2003 to expand the composting plant to add an anaerobic digestion line. ECOPARC 3 (SANT ADRIÀ DEL BESÒS) A collaboration accord was signed by the Catalan Waste Agency and the EMSHTR on 11 December 2002 to agree the financing, as established in the Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme, for the pre-treatment, methanisation and optimisation facility for recovering energy at the Sant Adrià del Besòs plant developed by the EMSHTR, and for adapting the gas treatment facility at the Sant Adrià del Besòs recovery plant to bring it into line with Community rules. The construction project was drawn up and building began in 2003. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY The state of infrastructure to recover organic matter At the end of 2003, the state of the infrastructure to recover organic matter was as follows: State of plants Operating Under construction Composting Anaerobic digestion 15 1 5 2 ECOPARCS ARE FACILITIES FOR TREATING ORGANIC AND OTHER WASTE TO OBTAIN COMPOST, BIOGAS FOR PRODUCING ELECTRICITY AND MATERIALS SUITABLE FOR RECOVERY. 72/73 ENERGY RECOVERY The main goal in this area of action is to adapt existing facilities so that they meet the new European directive on incinerating waste, as well as Law 11/2000 and the corresponding regulations. Progress on the accords signed in 2002 that are now being drawn up or which are at the public tender stage were monitored. These accords are: — The collaboration accord signed by the Catalan Waste Agency and the EMSHTR on 11 December 2002 to agree the financing, as established in the Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme, for the pre-treatment, methanisation and optimisation facility for recovering energy at the Sant Adrià del Besòs plant developed by the EMSHTR, and for adapting the gas treatment facility at the Sant Adrià del Besòs recovery plant to bring it in line with Community rules. — The collaboration accord signed by the Catalan Waste Agency and the Maresme Waste Treatment Consortium on 11 December 2002 on financing the adaptation of the municipal waste incineration facility in Mataró to bring it in line with Directive 2000/76/EC. — The collaboration accord signed by the Catalan Waste Agency and Girona City Council on 11 December 2002 on financing the adaptation of the municipal waste incineration facility in Girona to bring it in line with Directive 2000/76/EC. — The collaboration accord signed by the Catalan Waste Agency and the Tarragona Federation of Urban Waste Incineration Services on 11 December 2002 on financing the adaptation of the municipal waste incineration facility in Tarragona to bring it in line with Directive 2000/76/EC. — The collaboration accord signed by the Catalan Waste Agency and Aran General Council on 11 December 2002 on financing the adaptation of the municipal waste incineration facility in Vielha to bring it in line with Directive 2000/76/EC. DISPOSAL The main goal of this core area of action is to ensure that there is sufficient landfill capacity to dispose of those types of waste that cannot be recovered and to improve environmental protection at facilities by treating gases and managing leachates. The most noteworthy action in this core area was: COLLABORATION ACCORDS As part of the action taken in the area of disposing of municipal waste, a collaboration accord was signed on 25 September 2003 by the Catalan Waste Agency and L’Aldea Town Council to close and make improvements to the controlled landfill site for municipal waste in L’Aldea and to construct facilities to manage municipal waste. The Catalan Waste Agency will provide &1,027,255.00 in financing. IMPROVEMENTS TO FACILITIES (WORKS COMMISSIONED BY THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY) Work began in 2003 to improve controlled landfill sites around Catalonia. At Montoliu de Lleida (Segrià), a treatment plant was set up to deal with leachates and gases. The works begun in 2002 at the landfill sites in L’Espluga de Francolí (Conca de Barberà), Pedret i Marzà (Alt Empordà) and Tremp (Pallars Jussà) were monitored. Work began on treating leachates and gases at the landfill sites in Orís (Osona), Mas de Barberans (Montsià) and Manresa (Bages). Work also began to improve the controlled landfill site and gas treatment at Borges Blanques (Garrigues), Bellver de Cerdanya (Cerdanya), Cervera (Segarra) and Balaguer (Noguera). The work to landscape and close the landfill site at Vila-seca (Tarragonès) was monitored and work began on the access routes and treatment of gases at Castellnou de Seana (Pla d’Urgell). The works to improve the controlled landfill site in Tàrrega (Urgell) and to treat gases from the Tàrrega landfill sites were completed in 2003. Also completed in 2003 were improvement works to the controlled landfill sites with leachate and gas treatment plant in Montoliu de Lleida (Segrià), and works to treat leachates and gases at the landfill sites in Orís (Osona) in Manresa (Bages). A reduction of 26% in the annual contribution to the greenhouse effect of all the controlled landfill sites (taking as a reference the total gas that the Cerdà Institute estimated was produced at all the controlled landfill sites in Catalonia in 2001) was achieved in 2003 by setting up combustion units and/or units to make the most of biogas. CLOSING CONTROLLED LANDFILL SITES MUNICIPAL WASTE With regard to grants of a financial nature, approval was given to payment of the works to close the Garraf landfill site (EMSHTR) and the landfill site at Santa Coloma de Farners (La Selva). CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS IN 2003 FOR LANDFILL SITE CLOSURES In 2003, a resolution was passed allocating a grant of &1,724,904.74 for carrying out works to partially close the controlled landfill site at Mas de Barberans (Montsià Municipal Waste Management Consortium) and the landfill site in Garraf (EMSHTR). A second resolution was later passed awarding the Consortium for Improving and Managing the Solius Waste Treatment Plant a grant of &566,990.32 to close the Solius landfill site. The action detailed in these resolutions is to be carried out in 2003, 2004 and 2005. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY 74/75 MOBILE PLANT FOR TREATING LEACHATES BY REVERSE OSMOSIS A total of 10,604 m3 of leachates were treated in 2003 in facilities at the controlled landfill sites, as shown in the following table: Period mobile unit on site Volume of leachates treated Bellver (Cerdanya) 1/1/03 – 28/2/03 1.670 m3 Pedret (Alt Empordà) 28/2/03 – 6/6/03 3.391 m3 Santa Coloma (Selva) 6/6/03 – 16/7/03 1.202 m3 Castellnou de Seana (Pla d’Urgell) 16/7/03 – 18/8/03 744 m3 Bellver (Cerdanya) 18/8/03 – 10/10/03 1.120 m3 Tivissa (Ribera d’Ebre) 10/10/03 – 4/12/03 1.706 m3 Mas de Barberans (Montsià) 4/12/03 – 31/12/03 771 m3 Controlled landfill site AWARENESS-RAISINGAND COMMUNICATION The main goal of this core area of action is to set in motion a communication strategy designed to reach the widest target audience possible by dividing it into segments, thereby enabling the Catalan Waste Agency to convey specific, appropriate messages. The aim is to reach the entire population through all these various messages. The most noteworthy action in this core area was: COLLABORATION ACCORDS — A collaboration accord signed on 16 April 203 by the Catalan Waste Agency, the Catalan Federation of Municipalities and the Catalan Association of Municipalities and Districts to raise awareness of legislation on waste by holding a series of seminars on waste management regulations and processes. The Catalan Waste Agency undertook to provide a grant of &12,020.24 for this purpose. PROMOTING THE RECYCLED PRODUCTS MARKET Environmentally friendly public purchasing: "Buy Recycled" In order to provide information on and tools for setting up Environmentally friendly Purchasing programmes, the Catalan Recycling Centre organised three "BUY RECYCLED" seminars in the second half of 2003. The intention of these seminars was to increase the level of use of environmentally friendly products and services (those which, during their useful life, have a smaller overall environmental impact than equivalent products or services), in particular those products containing recycled materials. The seminars organised were: — "BUY RECYCLED" seminar aimed at the Government of Catalonia (17.9.2003). — "BUY RECYCLED" seminar aimed at service sector companies in Catalonia (29.10.2003). — "BUY RECYCLED" seminar aimed at distribution companies (hypermarkets and supermarkets) (3.12.2003). Collaboration with the Central Supply Committee The Catalan Waste Agency worked with the Central Supply Committee of the Department of the Economy and Finance to include recycled products and environmental criteria in the Catalogue of Approved, Centrally Purchased Goods and Services. Council, Vall d’Aran Council, the Municipal Waste Management Consortium of the districts of Ribera d’Ebre, Priorat and Terra Alta, the Vallès Oriental Waste Management Consortium, the EMSHTR, the Penedès and Garraf Intermunicipal Federation, La Plana Voluntary Intermunicipal Federation and the ’Urgellet Waste Collection Federation. Work continued in 2003 to encourage the separate collection of packaging (glass, paper and light packaging) through advertising campaigns throughout Catalonia using the slogan "Your small gesture can change the world". This campaign, which appeared on television and radio and in the written press, maintained the efforts to raise citizens’ awareness of the importance of their role in separate waste collection. INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE PILOT PROJECT ON ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Participation as members of the Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling (ACRR). The Catalan Recycling Centre has played an active part in two of the ACRR’s workgroups: plastics in the construction industry and preventing municipal waste. The Girona Penitentiary Centre, with the support of the Catalan Waste Agency, implemented a pioneering plan on environmental management in order to establish separate waste collection, to optimise energy use and to make staff and inmates aware of the problems facing the environment. These three seminars were very similar in structure: — Sessions on theory: The methodology for implementing an environmentally friendly purchasing policy; ways to buy recycled products; and legal issues and inclusion in the Environmental Management Systems (SGMA). — Practical sessions: Presentation of recycled/recyclable products (practical cases). PROMOTING SEPARATE PACKAGING COLLECTION Campaigns sponsored by ECOEMBES and ECOVIDRIO were run to encourage the separate collection of glass, paper, light packaging and other types of waste for recycling purposes. The Catalan Waste Agency supervised 90 local campaigns to raise awareness of separate light packaging collection among signatories to the ECOEMBES and ECOVIDRIO accords: Calaf Town Council, Esparreguera Town Council, Girona City Council, Lleida City Council, Reus City Council, Martorell Town Council, Mataró Town Council, Rubí Town Council, Sabadell City Council, Tarragona City Council, Terrassa City Council, Vic City Council, Vila-seca Town Council, Alt Camp District Council, Alt Empordà District Council, Alta Ribagorça District Council, Anoia District Council, Bages District Council, Baix Camp District Council, Baix Ebre District Council, Baix Empordà District Council, Baix Llobregat District Council, Baix Penedès District Council, Berguedà District Council, Cerdanya District Council, Conca de Barberà District Council, Garrotxa District Council, Gironès District Council, La Selva District Council, Les Garrigues District Council, La Noguera District Council, Maresme District Council, Montsià District Council, Osona District Council, Pallars Jussà District Council, Pla Estany District Council, Pla Urgell District Council, Ripollès District Council Segarra District Council, Segrià District Council, Solsonès District Council, Tarragonès District Council, Urgell District CAMPAIGNS TO PROMOTE THE COLLECTION OF ORGANIC MATTER The Catalan Waste Agency continued to support the establishment, expansion and increase in the separate collection of organic waste at a local level by providing finance and advice to local bodies through Grant Order MAB/479/2003. Grants totalling &1,891,437.33 were awarded in 2003 to 44 local bodies to encourage separate organic waste collection. The bodies that received grants were: Alella Town Council, Arenys de Munt Town Council, Cabrils Town Council, Calafell Town Council, Canet de Mar Town Council, Castellar del Vallès Town Council, Conca de Barberà District Council, Berguedà District Council, Gironès District Council, Osona District Council, Pallars Jussà District Council, Ripollès District Council, La Selva District Council, the Vallès Oriental Waste Management Consortium, the Segarra Urban Waste Management Consortium, Constantí Town Council, the EMSHTR, Llagostera Town Council, the Urgellet Waste Collection Federation, the Penedès and Garraf Intermunicipal Federation, La Plana Voluntary Intermunicipal Federation, Martorell Town Council, Molins de Rei Town Council, Navàs Town Council, Pallejà Town Council, Premià de Mar Town Council, Reus City Council, Rubí Town Council, Sant Joan de Vilatorrada Town Council, Santpedor Town Council, La Selva del Camp Town Council, Sant Andreu de Llavaneres THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY Town Council, Súria Town Council, Tarragona City Council, Tiana Town Council, Tordera Town Council, Torrelles de Llobregat Town Council, Vacarisses Town Council, Valls Town Council, Vila-seca Town Council and Vilassar de Dalt Town Council. CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE SEPARATE WASTE MEDICINE COLLECTION: "LET’S COLLECT WASTE MEDICINES FOR THE GOOD OF THE ENVIRONMENT" Following on from the implementation of the integrated waste medicines system (SIGRE), a new campaign was run to raise awareness of waste collection in order to encourage people to return unwanted drug packaging as well as the drugs themselves. This campaign highlighted the need to manage this kind of waste properly. GENERAL CAMPAIGNS TO ENCOURAGE SEPARATION OF MUNICIPAL WASTE FOR RECYCLING PURPOSES The children’s jumping inflatable intended to encourage separation of waste for recycling purposes remained available for loan to local bodies. This prorecycling inflatable is a proven educational and fun way to convey messages on separate waste collection to residents through their children. The inflatable was loaned out over the course of 2003 to the following municipalities in Catalonia: Alcover, Altafulla, Anglesola, Arbúcies, Arnes, Badalona, Barcelona, Batea, Botarell, Cabacés, Cabrils, Castell Platja d’Aro, Castellcir, Castelló d’Empúries, Castellví de Rosanes, Celrà, Cervera, Colera, Deltebre, El Masroig, Els Pallaresos, Figuerola del Camp, Gallifa, Gelida, Gironella, La Bisbal d’Empordà, La Coma i la Pedra, La Fatarella, La Garriga, La Seu d’Urgell, L’Ampolla, L’Escala, L’Espluga Calba, Maçanet de Cabrenys, Manresa, Martorell, Montcada i Reixac, Montgat, Montornès del Vallès, Mora d’Ebre, Muntanyola, Nalec, Navarcles, Navàs, Palamós, Empordà, Palau-solita i Plegamans, Parets del Vallès, Pira, Premià de Dalt, Puigcerdà, Puigverd d’Agramunt, Rialp, Riba Roja d’Ebre, Riera de Gaià, Ripollet, Rubió, Sant Boi, Sant Carles de la Ràpita, Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Sant Llorenç Savall, Sant Martí de Riucorb, Sant Pere Pescador, Sant Quirze de Besora, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, Tàrrega, Tordera, Vall de Cardós, Valls, Vilaseca, Vilafant, Vilalba dels Arcs, Vilanova de la Barca, Vilanova i la Geltrú and Vilaverd. 76/77 The exhibition consists of eight gigantic letters that make up the word "orgánica" ("organic" in Catalan) and was designed to inform citizens of the issues and solicit their support. The display was exhibited for the first time in October 2003 and has appeared since then at gatherings and events organised in Tàrrega, Manresa, Botarell, Olot Sant Pere de Riudebitlles, Valls and Barcelona as part of these municipalities’ campaigns to establish the separate collection of organic waste. RECOGNITION The 2002 Separate Collection and Waste Reduction Prizes were given, as in previous years, in recognition of efforts made by local bodies, retail outlets and companies in the service sector, as well as to public service bodies and civic organisations, that have excelled in the field of good waste management and in particular in their initiatives to recover and minimise waste. Two very different categories of awards are given: prizes for which nominations are sought and automatic prizes for local bodies in Catalonia. The nomination prizes explicitly presented nominees and a report on their initiatives, which were evaluated on the basis of criteria established in the prize conditions. The automatic prizes for local bodies are awarded on the basis of the separate waste collection figures they present each year to the Catalan Waste Agency. Prizes were awarded in 2003 for results in waste recovery and for initiatives that contributed to and promoted waste reduction and the use of more environmentally friendly consumer products. SUPPORT FOR FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS As in previous years, the Catalan Waste Agency continued to loan exhibitions and other information materials. In 2003, the three available displays of products made using recycled materials entitled "And You Thought the Things You Throw Out Can’t Be Used. See for Yourself!" were loaned to 60 local bodies and other organisations. The Catalan Waste Agency continued to maintain a presence at fairs, including: the Mediterranean Fair in Tarragona, the Multi-Sector Fair in Constantí, the Ecolife Fair in Manresa, the Olot Fair, the TV· Súpers Festival in the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona and the Children and Youth Festival in Fira de Barcelona. The Catalan Waste Agency had a stand providing a range of information on the environment during the summer months at Barcelona Airport. Visitors to the stand were able to view the presentation "Discover Barcelona and the Environment" in Catalan, Spanish and English. This initiative was supported by TRINIJOVE Federation and AENA. Other notable action related to fairs and exhibitions in 2003 included work organised through collaboration accords. Initiatives were set up with the Catalan Cross-Sector Association of Recoverers and Social Enterprises (AIRES) to foster the social integration of groups at risk through undertakings in the sphere of waste management. The Catalan Waste Agency collaborated with the Federation of Andalusian Cultural Bodies in Catalonia (FECAC) to make the April Fair and other major events organised by the FECAC more environmentally friendly. The accord with Rovira i Virgili University was extended through the establishment of the APQUA teacher training programme on learning about chemical products organised through educational resource centres. The Catalan Waste Agency also worked with the Catalan Association of Municipalities and the Catalan Federation of Municipalities to raise awareness of regulations on waste through a number of seminars. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION ON MUNICIPAL WASTE In 2003, a total of 12,109 telephone enquiries were dealt with, as were 1,069 written enquiries (e-mails and letters) and 212 visits to do with administrative procedures and municipal waste management and treatment. Diagrammatic representation of an Ecoparc. These facilities recover materials and produce compost and biogas from waste.

The overall goals of the programme are to achieve a high standard of environmental management of construction waste in order to comply with the European Commission targets on recycling and the environmental safety of facilities by internalising in each project the costs of construction, demolition and improvements. Investments are secured essentially through the private sector. Public sector investment is made above all in those parts of Catalonia where it would be difficult for the private sector to achieve financial viability while at the same time reaching targets and providing a service to the entire country. Total budgeted investment in the 2001-2006 Programme is &25.42 million. "CLEAN RUBBLE" In 2003, the Catalan Recycling Centre, with the support of the Spanish Association of Plastic Pipe and Accessory Manufacturers (ASETUB), CICLOPLAST and the Association of Cities and Regions for Recycling (ACRR), monitored the CICLOTUB project to recycle pipes and strips made of PVC and other plastics in the construction industry. RECOVERY Demolition waste constitutes more than half of all building waste and at the same time contains the types of materials that are most easily recycled. Best practices in separating waste at source during demolition are now being introduced in order to encourage selective demolition and to reduce dumping. The most noteworthy action in this area was: CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES The objectives set are to be achieved by means of a series of undertakings that can be grouped together into six core areas of action: — Prevention. — Recovery. — Disposal in controlled landfill sites. — Implementation of the management model. — Criteria for developing infrastructure. — Awareness-raising and information activities. PREVENTION Construction waste can be prevented by a combination of various economic, environmental and quality management-related factors throughout the entire production process in the construction industry. The main goals of this core area of action are to minimise types of waste that are ultimately disposed of in a landfill site, to prevent the use of materials that have a harmful impact on the environment and human health, and to achieve separate collection at source. The Catalan Waste Agency implemented a number of initiatives in 2003 to promote the use of recycled materials recovered from construction waste. In all these projects, which are detailed below, recycled rubber was used in the bituminous mix and material from building waste recycling plants was employed as a layer of graded aggregate. — Conditioning and asphalting of two stretches of road in the municipality of Viladecavalls (Vallès Occidental). — Conditioning and surfacing of streets in the municipality of Castellolí (Anoia). — Resurfacing of streets in the municipality of El Pont de Vilomara (Bages). In addition, a plan and the works to condition a stretch of road to the Juneda slurry plant in the municipality of Puiggròs using recycled materials were commissioned. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY DISPOSAL IN CONTROLLED LANDFILL SITES The main goal of this core area of action is to ensure that facilities are in place for correctly managing waste which is not of a type that can be returned to the production cycle. The objectives and initiatives in this core area are to reduce still further the amount of waste disposed of in controlled landfill sites, and to modify the current framework of legislation in Catalonia that facilitates the implementation of corrective measures throughout the process. The most noteworthy action in this core area was: CONTROLLED LANDFILL SITES FOR EARTH AND BUILDING RUBBLE Over the course of 2003, the Catalan Waste Agency approved a number of landfill sites, thereby completing the network of sites. These sites are: Sant Quintí de Mediona (Alt Penedès), Riudoms (Baix Camp), Ullà (Baix Empordà), Prullans (Cerdanya), expansion of the Papiol site (Baix Llobregat), Avià (Berguedà), Cercs (Berguedà), Dosrius (Maresme), expansion of the Ponts site (Noguera), Seva (Osona), Vinebre (Ribera d’Ebre), Montoliu de Lleida (Segrià), Lloret de Mar (La Selva), Sant Cugat – El Papiol (Vallès Occidental – Baix Llobregat), Rubí (Vallès Occidental) and Vilanova del Vallès (Vallès Oriental). Authorisation was also given to rubble recycling plants at Arenys de Munt (Maresme) and Ripollet (Vallès Occidental). In addition, a number of controlled landfill sites intended for rubble were added to the Catalan General Register of Waste Managers. These sites are: Badalona (Barcelonès), Rubí (Vallès Occidental), Balaguer (Noguera) and Amposta (Montsià), as well as the recycling plant at Sant Carles de la Ràpita (Montsià) and the transfer plant at Cassà de la Selva (La Selva). The controlled landfill sites for earth and building rubble at Cabrera de Mar (Maresme), Sant Joan de Vilatorrada (Bages), Roses (Alt Empordà) and Reus (Baix Camp) reached their maximum authorised capacity and so work began on covering and capping the surface and replanting. In addition, the construction waste recycling plant at Granollers came to the end of its life. In total, 6,315,283 metric tonnes of construction waste were managed during the course of 2003 at controlled landfill sites for this purpose. In addition, 212,149 tonnes were recycled in 2003 at recycling plants for construction waste. 116/117 CLOSURE OF OLD CONSTRUCTION WASTE LANDFILL SITES THAT REACHED THE END OF THEIR LIFE Work was done in 2003 to close and clean up 203 unauthorised dumps in 49 municipalities. A grant of &2,094,765.16 was provided entirely by the Catalan Waste Agency to fund this work. The closed dumps were in: Alt Camp (Valls), Alt Empordà (Espolla, La Vajol, Vilafant and Portbou), Alt Penedès (Olesa de Bonesvalls), Alta Ribagorça (Vilaller), Anoia (Masquefa), Bages (Avinyó, Calders, Castellbell and El Vilar), Baix Camp (Vandellòs and L’Hospitalet de l’Infant), Baix Llobregat (Begues), Baix Penedès (Cunit and Vendrell), Garrigues (Cervià de les Garrigues and Les Borges Blanques), Gironès (Llagostera and Quart), Montsià (Ulldecona), Noguera (Balaguer, Ponts, Foradada and La Sentiu de Sió), Pla d’Urgell (Bell-lloc d’Urgell and Torregrossa), Segarra (Sanaüja and Torà), Segrià (Montoliu de Lleida and Alguaire), Tarragonès (Creixell), Urgell (Agramunt and Tornabous), Val Aran (Arres, Bossòst, Es Bòrdes, Naut Aran, Vielha e Mijaran, Canejan, Bausen, Les and Vilamòs), Vallès Occidental (Badia del Vallès) and Vallès Oriental (Castellterçol, Lliçà d’Amunt, Vallromanes, Granollers and Gualba). With regard to grants of a financial nature, approval was given in 2003 to payment of the works to close sites in: Badalona (EMSHTR), Vilanova i la Geltrú (Garraf), Granollers (Vallès Oriental) and Santa Cristina d’Aro (Baix Empordà). DRAFTED PROJECTS AND COMMISSIONED WORKS Projects were drawn up in 2003 on closing municipal landfill sites for demolition and other construction waste that had reached the end of their life. Grants for these projects were approved in 2002. Works to close sites subsidised in 2002 were put out to tender for a total sum of &1,138,745.59. The sites to be closed were: Sabadell (Vallès Occidental), Palamós (Baix Empordà), Llagostera (Gironès), Cruïlles-Monells-Sant Sadurní de l’Heura (Baix Empordà), Cadaqués (Alt Empordà), Masquefa (Anoia), Castellbell and El Vilar (Bages), Calders (Bages), Avinyó (Bages), Muntanyola (Osona), Sanaüja (Segarra), Sant Pere de Ribes (Garraf), Calafell (Baix Penedès), Sant Quintí de Mediona (Alt Penedès), Albinyana (Baix Penedès), Foradada (Noguera), Les Borges Blanques (Garrigues), La Sentiu de Sió (Noguera), Torregrossa (Pla d’Urgell), Alfarràs (Segrià), Bell-lloc d’Urgell (Pla d’Urgell), Tornabous (Urgell), Cornudella de Montsant (Priorat), Pla de Santa Maria (Alt Camp), Vila-rodona (Alt Camp), Falset (Priorat), Móra la Nova (Ribera d’Ebre) and Flix (Ribera d’Ebre). In addition, projects were drawn up to close the municipal landfill sites for demolition and other construction waste subsidised in the first resolution approving grants in 2003. The sites in question were: Avinyó (Bages), Camprodon (Ripollès), Sant Joan de les Abadesses (Ripollès), Masquefa (Anoia), Ivars de Noguera (Noguera), Àger (Noguera), Gerb (Noguera), Manlleu (Osona), Castellar del Vallès (Vallès Occidental) and Vandellòs and L’Hospitalet de l’Infant (Baix Camp). The most noteworthy action in this core area was the implementation of municipal bylaws throughout Catalonia in order to regulate the management of this waste within municipalities. These bylaws are intended to establish regulations additional to the granting of municipal building permits. 2003 CALL FOR GRANTS FOR SITE CLOSURES This core area of action includes work to gradually build new facilities and to maintain those already in existence to enable companies in the sector to carry out their minimisation, recovery and disposal tasks at a manageable cost. In 2003, a resolution was passed allocating grants totalling &375,095.26 to close municipal landfill sites that had reached the end of their useful life and municipal landfill sites for demolition and other construction waste that had reached the end of their life in: Avinyó (Bages), Lloret de Mar (La Selva), Camprodon (Ripollès), Masquefa (Anoia), Manlleu (Osona), Castellar del Vallès (Vallès Oriental), Vandellòs and L’Hospitalet de l’Infant (Baix Camp), Sant Joan de les Abadesses (Ripollès) and in the area of Baix Llobregat District Council and Noguera District Council. A second resolution was later passed awarding grants totalling &99,988.49 to the municipalities of: Lliçà d’Amunt (Vallès Oriental), Santa Cristina d’Aro (Baix Empordà), Torrelles de Llobregat (Baix Llobregat), Montoliu de Segarra (Segarra), Avinyonet de Puigventós (Alt Empordà), Sant Pere Sallavinera (Anoia) and Fortià (Alt Empordà) and to the Consortium for Improving and Managing the Solius Waste Treatment Plant. The action detailed in these resolutions is to be carried out in 2003, 2004 and 2005. In addition, a direct financial grant totalling &37,155.18 was given to Santa Eulàlia de Riuprimer Town Council (Osona) to clean up unauthorised dumps around the town. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MANAGEMENT MODEL The basic goal of this core area of action is to assign functions to the public bodies that play a part in managing construction waste. Decree 161/2001 of 12 June 2001, modifying Decree 201/1994 of 26 July 1994, which regulates demolition and other construction waste, establishes a series of controls to ensure that this waste is properly managed. CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPING INFRASTRUCTURE INSPECTIONS OF AUTHORISED RUBBLE LANDFILL SITES The Catalan Waste Agency continued its inspections of authorised rubble landfill sites in 2003. This involved more than 50 inspection visits a month and sampling and analysis once a year of ground wells where liquid was found. AWARENESS –RAISING AND INFORMATION ACTIVITIES The main goal of this core area of action is to provide information on recycled products, thereby raising awareness of the importance of using them in new building works. COLLABORATION ACCORD BETWEEN THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY AND THE CATALAN INSTITUTE OF BUILDING TECHNOLOGY (ITEC) This accord encompassed a range of activities supervised by the Catalan Recycling Centre, including: — Completion of the ITEC Construction Elements Database (BEDEC) through the incorporation of data on the waste generated by each urban development unit. — Analysis of the ability to recycle construction waste in four building projects being developed by the authorities. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY — Circulation of the standard DAU (Document on Adaptation to Use) on recycled granulates to enable each manufacturer to complete the certification cycle and obtain the DAU. — Observatory on the current situation in the construction industry and its sensitivity to environmental issues and in particular waste management. AEN/CTN-146 "AGGREGATES" WORKGROUP "CLEAN RUBBLE" LEAFLET ACTION TO MINIMISE THE RISK In 2003, the Catalan Recycling Agency drew up the "Clean Rubble" information leaflet as a model based on the separate collection at source of the types of waste that make up construction and demolition waste. OF ASBESTOS IN CONSTRUCTION WASTE PARTICIPATION IN INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES The Catalan Recycling Centre participated in the following initiatives in 2003: — The LIFE RECONS project, which aims to study and implement a corporate environmental management system in building works. — The LIFE APPRICOD project, which aims to assess the potential of plastic recycling in construction and demolition activities. Illustration of a specific plant for recycling construction waste that enables materials to be recovered for new building works. 118/119 In 2003, the Catalan Recycling Centre participated in the AEN/CTN-146 "Aggregates" workgroup organised by AENOR, the Spanish industrial standard authority. This workgroup was set up to encourage the use of recycled aggregates in construction work by establishing guides on usage, standards, etc. This initiative included all those tasks performed by the Catalan Waste Agency to provide information on the dangers of asbestos and on the approaches to be taken in dismantling this waste separately and in managing it in controlled facilities. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION ON CONSTRUCTION WASTE In 2003, a total of 3,027 telephone enquiries were dealt with, as were 267 written enquiries (e-mails and letters) and 53 visits to do with administrative procedures and construction waste management and treatment.

SUPPORT PLAN ON MANAGING PIG SLURRY The Department of Agriculture, Livestock Farming and Fisheries and the Department of the Environment drew up a plan to support the management of pig slurry that was approved by the Catalan government during its session on 8 January 2003. This plan is intended as a means to co-ordinate action carried out by the various departments involved to aid the pig industry to move over to a viable sustainable development model. The Support Plan on Managing Pig Slurry encompasses three types of action: Technical support The main initiatives in this sphere were: — Analysis of treatment technologies: analysis of the available treatment technologies and identification of the situations in which they can be used. — Description of the treatment processes used in Catalonia: description of the operation in livestock farms of the various technologies available to treat pig slurry in use in Catalonia. — Improvements to pig diets: determination of the most appropriate meal formulae for feeding pigs and their correlation with a reduction in the contaminant load of pig slurry. Noteworthy action in 2003 was: — The commissioning of the Cerdà Institute (March 2003) to conduct the study "Sustainable Development in the Pig Industry in the European Context". This study looks at the various initiatives on managing livestock farm waste conducted in other EU countries. — Assessment of the viability of anaerobic digestion as a means to treat livestock farm waste, financed by the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN). Financial support The Support Plan on Managing Pig Slurry mentions various lines of aid promoted by a number of departments in the Government of Catalonia. Those areas of aid provided by the Department of the Environment include: — Support for drawing up management plans: the estimated financial resources allocated to aid for drawing up management plans totalled &2,400,000. — Aid for investing in livestock farm waste treatment: aid to subsidise 25% of investments in treating livestock farm waste, as established in approved management plans, in accordance with negotiations with the EU. The approved text establishes a period of five years for aid and an overall budget of &22 million. Communication plan The Support Plan makes an overall commitment to awareness-raising and communication by agreeing to devise a communication plan to achieve the following objectives: — To promote the presentation of management plans. — To facilitate the presentation of proposals for treating slurry. — To promote the use of slurry in agriculture. — To raise awareness of the Catalan government’s Support Plan. — To promote co-operation between the local authorities. The following action was taken in this sphere in 2003: — Drafting of the leaflet on "Correct Livestock Farm Waste Treatment and Crop Fertilisation" as part of the work done in various working seminars of the Protocol Monitoring Committee. — Circulation of the contents of the Support Plan on Managing Pig Slurry during various industry seminars and of the above-mentioned leaflet. — Drafting of technical material agreed by the Department of Agriculture, Livestock Farming and Fisheries and the Department of the Environment and Housing for the purposes of specialist seminars to be organised by the two departments. — A number of seminars were held on animal feed aimed at specialists in the animal feed sector (ASFAC). Within the framework of the action included in the Support Plan, in April 2003 the Official Gazette of Catalonia published two orders calling for applications for grants for managing livestock farm waste. Grants were available for: — Financing the infrastructure required to implement and monitor livestock farm waste management plans. — Technical advice on managing and controlling livestock farm waste. THE CATALAN WASTE AGENCY OTHER ACTION 128/129 CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR AID FOR TECHNICAL ADVICE ON THE PROPER MANAGEMENT ACCORDS AND CONTRACTS AND CONTROL OF LIVESTOCK FARM WASTE The following accords and contracts to do with livestock farm waste were signed in 2003: — Collaboration accord signed on 29 September 2003 by the Catalan Waste Agency and the Catalan Federation of Farming Co-operatives to establish the framework of co-operation to raise awareness of the various issues detailed in the regulations on proper livestock farm waste management and crop fertilisation. Action by members was to be co-ordinated to ensure that the necessary improvements to managing livestock farm waste were implemented. The Catalan Waste Agency provided a grant for this purpose amounting to &24,000.00. — Collaboration accord signed on 17 October 2003 by the Catalan Waste Agency and the Department of Agriculture, Livestock Farming and Fisheries of the Government of Catalonia to establish an exceptional collaborative framework that guaranteed financing to cover the costs of transporting animals slaughtered as a result of swine fever to the treatment plant to guarantee their destruction. The Catalan Waste Agency provided &765,766.94 for this purpose. — Framework collaboration accord signed on 30 October 2003 by the Catalan Waste Agency and the Agrària del Torrelló, SCCL co-operative to guarantee the implementation of proper management of livestock farm waste, as promoted by the co-operative. The Catalan Waste Agency provided a grant for this purpose amounting to &497,528. Livestock farms are obliged to have and to implement a livestock farm waste management plan in order to certify that they are managing this waste properly. These plans may be drawn up by individual farms or jointly for a group of farms. Within the framework of the call for applications for aid for drawing up livestock farm waste management plans, grants totalling &1,052,486.84 were awarded in the second half of 2003. A total of 3,727 applications were presented (covering 8,290 farm operations), of which 1,464 were given grants totalling &1,052,486.84. Grants were awarded in response to 324 applications covering 1,338 farm operations in vulnerable areas, and to 1,140 applications covering 2,474 farm operations outside of vulnerable areas. Eight environmental bodies accredited by the Department of the Environment were commissioned in 2003 to pre-validate livestock farm waste management plans. A total of 4,326 pre-validations were conducted. The following accords signed in 2002 were put into practice in 2003: — Collaboration accord signed on 2 December 2002 by the Catalan Waste Agency and Osona District Council which commissioned Osona District Council to carry out inspections of production activities and managers of waste of potential benefit to agriculture when applied to the land. A total of 96 inspections were conducted. — Collaboration accord signed on 18 December 2002 by the Catalan Waste Agency and Osona District Council on the pre-validation of livestock farm waste management plans in the district of Osona. A total of 410 pre-validations were conducted. CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR AID TO SET UP INFRASTRUCTURE DERIVING FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LIVESTOCK FARM WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS One of the core areas of the Support Plan on Livestock Farm Waste, approved and presented by the Government of Catalonia in January 2003, was to provide financial support for setting up infrastructure that would allow surplus livestock farm waste to be managed properly. This financing is available for initiatives to install treatment systems, to purchase machinery, mechanical equipment and monitoring devices and to install or expand livestock farm waste storage tanks. Once the deadline for presenting applications had passed, the first resolution was issued on grants totalling &1,179,142.41, which were to provide various types of infrastructure to serve more than 100 farming operations. The subsidies awarded covered 18 individual and seven group plans. The amount allocated was 25% of the sum requested in accordance with the terms and conditions of the call for applications and would lead to a total investment of &4,675,355 in this infrastructure. STUDIES ON TREATING LIVESTOCK FACILITIES TO MANAGE FARM WASTE LIVESTOCK FARM WASTE The studies into technologies to treat livestock farm waste commissioned from the University of Lleida and the University of Vic were completed in 2003. These studies were: — Guide to Treatments for Livestock Farm Waste (Department of Environmental Engineering of the University of Lleida-Institute of Food and Agriculture Research and Technology). This guide provides a simple and amusing description of the various ways to treat livestock farm waste, the main characteristics of these treatments and the scenarios in which each of them can be used. — Evaluation of the Functions of Systems to Treat Livestock Farm Waste in Catalonia (Advice, Applied Research and Technology Service of the University of Vic). The collective slurry tanks and treatment plants for managing livestock farm waste in operation at the end of 2003 were as follows: A total of 13 facilities were studied with a view to determining their performance in eliminating nitrogen and the distribution of the various products of the treatment.
