A new era for waste management in the Peloponnese Region was marked today by the arrival of the first garbage trucks of the Municipality of Tripoli at the Transitional Management Unit in Paleochouni, which will serve Arcadia, Corinth and Argolida. For the first time, waste from the Peloponnese is not disposed of in landfills or in uncontrolled areas, endangering the environment and threatening public health, but is promoted for sound and safe management in the modern new unit that started operating in Arcadia.
The transitional management will last up to 14 months and after the start of the integrated management, it will be the most modern waste management unit in the country and one of the most modern in Europe. Among the multiple advantages of the new unit is the fact that the Landfill (Landfill) is located close to the unit, which allows to minimize the transport of waste and waste.
The start of the Transitional Waste Management today, made possible the recent signing of the amended Public-Private Partnership Agreement (PPP) for the Integrated Waste Management of the Peloponnese Region, between the Peloponnese Region and the Environmental Company.
When the project is fully operational, landfill will be prevented and at least 65% of biodegradable materials will be utilized, 50,000 tons of liquid waste will be diverted from landfill, while green energy will be generated to serve the needs of 6,000 households, while avoiding release of 24,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Under the project, 800 jobs will be created during the construction period and 200 permanent jobs during the operating period (27 years). These do not include the indirect jobs that will be created (transport, marketing of recyclables, accommodation of staff, environmental school trips, etc.).
In total, this is an investment of 152 million euros (62.5 million NSRF subsidy), which provides for the construction and operation:
– three (3) Transitional Management Units (MMDs) and three (3) Waste Treatment Units (WAS) with a total capacity of 200,000 tn / year
– three (3) Landfills (CAST)
– two (2) Waste Transfer Stations (WMS)
The MMD / MEA-HYTY have been located in Arcadia, Messinia and Laconia and the SMA in Corinth and Argolida, so that the waste can be collected less than 50 km from the capitals of the prefectures of the Region, helping to minimize transport from the Municipalities.
The project, using state-of-the-art technology, implements most of the Peloponnese Regional Waste Management Plan (PESDA), operates in parallel and in addition to the Local Recycling Plans at the source of the Municipalities and the best circular economy best practices are applied.
