Action taken by the Department of Human Resources
in 2003 included the implementation of new conditions of employment agreed with the staff employed
by the Catalan Waste Agency that will remain valid
until 31 December 2004.
A pilot project for a Corporate Intranet was also
set up in order to improve the internal management
of all human resources issues and to replace current
paper documents with computerised media, thereby
reducing the time spent on transactions and freeing resources for other uses.
With regard to training for staff in the Catalan
Waste Agency, various courses were run to improve
skills and communication. A programme of talks to
promote personal growth and professional development was also put on.
Foreign language classes also continued and
a number of specific courses were run for inspectors and specialist staff at the Catalan Waste
Agency. These various courses were attended by a
total of 90 people.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

three samples of water in which ammonia, phosphate and total phosphor were identified; and the
analysis of PCBs in three solid samples (soils).

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 same samples in accordance with DIN 38414-S4
and the current analyses stipulated in Catalan legislation.
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.

INTRODUCTION
Initiatives on municipal waste come within the
framework of the Catalan Municipal Waste Management Programme (PROGREMIC), which was approved
by the Steering Committee of the Catalan Waste
Agency on 13 November 2001.
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.
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:

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.
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).
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.
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.

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 municipal waste incineration facility in Vielha
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:
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.

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.
— 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

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

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,

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
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.

INTRODUCTION
SEPARATE COLLECTION OF CONSTRUCTION
AND DEMOLITION WASTE AT SOURCE:
On 28 June 2001, the Steering Committee of the Catalan Waste Agency approved the 2001-2006 Construction Waste Management Programme in Catalonia
(PROGROC), which is the regional, economic and environmental planning tool for the infrastructure and initiatives put in place to manage construction 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.
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.
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.

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.
— 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.

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.
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.

INTRODUCTION
In 2003, the Catalan Waste Agency continued the
series of initiatives begun in previous years to
establish a sustainable management model in the
pig industry and hence environmentally-friendly
slurry management.
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.

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.

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.
