Selection of 12 validated case studies

Task 1.3. Selection of 12 case studies for in-depth analyses in WP2 and WP3 in dialogue with involved stakeholders – [M9-M10] Task leader: VTT; contributors: PNO, BiPRO, VITO, LDE, ACR+, ZWE, WF The integration of information on existing waste collection system in a comparative format enables the identification of well-functioning systems. As basis identified collection systems will first be compared among each other and with comparable EU/national statistics (on collection but also recycling/recovery rates of CRM) and with information from key stakeholders (national Ministries, EU associations, and the involved project partners) on key factors for success, e.g. participation of stakeholders, construction of new recycling facilities etc. Hereafter, the well-performing systems are analysed in a participatory approach with local and regional authorities. The objective of this exercise is the selection of twelve case studies for in-depth analyses in WP2 and WP3. The twelve case studies are selected among all the candidate waste collection systems using an MCDM approach. The goal is to select 5 case studies for WEEE and packaging waste; and 2 case studies for construction and demolition waste. The previously per waste stream defined criteria are weighed for each waste stream using a MCDM approach in workshop attended by task leaders from WP1, WP2 and WP3 and the stakeholders from the regional working groups. Taking into account the weights and performances of the candidate waste collection systems in each key parameter, the preference order of the alternatives is elicited. Necessary constraint are then set for the group of 12 chose case studies, for instance: cases must represent sufficient number of member states, etc.
