Description
The project aims to implement, in compliance with the corresponding legislation, an innovative technology for in situ closure of the temporary waste landfill and solve a major environmental problem of Fălticeni Municipality,. The innovative solution involves a considerable decrease of the hazardous potential due to the significant reduction of emissions that is achieved by aerobic stabilization of the waste deposits, method developed in the laboratory of the Department of Waste Management of the Technical University of Hamburg. By implementing this innovative solution, cost saving opportunities will be achieved, namely: (i) a surface coating in line with the body of the low-emission landfill; (ii) Lower operating costs generated for leachate purification or groundwater remedial; (iii) Lower costs will for the maintenance of the surface cover system; (iv) the subsequent maintenance phase become shortened by several decades and can be re-cultivated earlier.
Specific objectives of the project are: 1. Introduction of waste treated using the proposed technology into the circular economy; 2. Improving local institutional governance in the field of municipal waste management by creating a think-tank on environmental issues in Falticeni municipality; 3. Conduct a comprehensive public information and education campaign on municipal waste management.
The direct results are: 1 temporary landfill closed in Falticeni Municipality, 2 information campaigns carried out, 1 website launched, 1 Good Practice Guide, 1 information board placed, 1 permanent sign placed. The indirect results refer to the awareness of the direct beneficiaries (population of Falticeni Municipality) and indirect beneficiaries (members of the peripheral communities of Falticeni Municipality) on the need to reduce the quantities of waste dumped, to reduce pollutant emissions (soil pollution and olfactory pollution in the area).
