| PMI107B - Waste quantities generated, recovered, disposed, by economic activity CANE Rev.2 |
| Definition |
Wastes: any matter or any item of the following kinds: production or consumption residues, expired validity products, discarded substances, industrial manufacturing residues (e.g. slags) that the owner intends or is obliged to dispose of.
Wastes can be generated during the mining and processing of raw materials in order to obtain intermediate or final products throughout the final consumption and any other human activity.
The following are not wastes: residues recycled directly or reused at the place where they are generated; waste not directly discharged into water or released to the environment as emissions.
Industrial waste (production waste): all waste arising from economic activities such as mining; manufacturing; electricity, steam, gas and water supply; water abstraction, treatment and distribution; construction.
Non-hazardous waste: waste that poses no threat to the population's health and environment safety, the related recovery and diposal operations being licenced and controlled by competent authorities with the following purposes:
a) to be risk-free for the population's health and environment elements (water, air, soil, wild life and vegetation);
b) to produce no phonic pollution or unpleasant smells;
c) to have no impact on landscape or protected areas.
Hazardous waste: the definition depends on its impact on environment and human health. The hazardous features of waste are concerned with toxicity, corrosiveness, flammability, explosiveness, infectiousness. The list of hazardous waste was established by the Basel Convention (1989) on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal.
Waste collection: Waste collection, sorting and/or regrouping (temporary storage) for transportation purposes.
Waste recovery: Any operation in the Annex II B to the Emergency Ordinance no. 78/2000 on waste collection regime, changed and completed by the Emergency Ordinance no. 61/Sep 6 2006, for instance: incineration with energy recovery, organic waste recycling or recovery, catalyst recovery and soil spreading for agricultural purposes or ecological rehabilitation including the composting operations and other biological transformation processes.
Waste disposal: Any operation provided in the Annex no. II A to the Emergency Ordinance no. 78/2000 on waste collection regime, modified and completed by the Emergency Ordinance no. 61/Sep 6 2006, of which: ground and underground storage; underground injection; waste discharge into aquatic environment; soil/sea incineration; permanent storage.
