Sustainability Assessment Models

Type: R+OTHER Short description: Technical documentation written in English defining the Sustainability Assessment Model for the project as weel as calculating the baseline of every pilot using this model. Objectives ● Fix the sustainability model and the KPIs to be used in the evaluation of the project objectives. Among the KPIs defined it will be included the main KPIs of the project: urban waste generation, urban waste sorted, waste diverted to landfield and urban waste management costs. ● Set the baseline of the pilot sites. In particular of the main KPIs of the project. Content and methodology Every component of this document will follow a different methodology: ● Sustainability model: Formal specification of the sustainability model. From this model a set of KPIs and the reference methodology for its calculation will be defined. The preliminary version of this report will be produced by Milestone 1. The final version will be obtained at Month 12. ● Indicators and monitoring system. Definition of the indicators to be calculated and monitoring actions to be deployed during the implementation of the awareness actions. This section should be made in Month 12. ● Define the models to calculate the parameters of the PAYT schemes including a set of innovative parameters aimed at certifying the effectiveness of the measurements of PAYT (Task 5.2) Each indicator will be identified to be potentially applied at EU level. Specific assessments will be carried out by SOFTLINE on Seveso or in other municipalities to take into account conditions affecting the correct identification (specific weight, distance, type of receptacle). This section should be made in Month 12. ● Baseline: the pilot sites will be reviewed in terms of the KPIs and the project baseline will be assessed (Milestones 6-9). In this sense, an integral waste management evaluation will be carried out. The report with the results of the baseline assessment of the pilots will be published in Month 12. Targets Citizen, stakeholders and project partners. Tasks involved T1.3. Relation with other deliverables The assessment model will be used in the interims reports (D1.4 – D1.7) to assess the progress towards the main objective of the project.
