前言:这是CSA SPE-890的第一版,是对报废材料进行责任管理的指南。CSA SPE-890是作为指南制定的,不包含任何强制性语言。它为报废(EOL)材料的管理提供指导和最佳实践。范围1。1目标本指南旨在帮助初级和二级服务提供商,并建立一套通用定义、性能指标和报告要求,以支持报废(EOL)材料管理的最佳实践。除了提供一个一致的框架,以便就EOL管理选项做出更有效和知情的决策外,本指南还促进了一个严格、透明和负责任的材料管理系统,从收集到最终处置,为这些材料的管理提供了更大的保证。它描述了一种解释和验证这些流(用于提高数据准确性)的方法,并确定了数据验证审计的关键要素。
该指南提供了一种透明的方式,以支持向更循环的经济转变*。与基于“取而代之、消费而处置”增长模式的线性模型不同,循环经济将资源保持在经济中,优化资源再利用潜力并创造更多价值。*见欧盟委员会,走向循环经济。1.2目标受众本指南的主要受众是当前和未来的服务提供商,负责确保EOL材料的适当管理*。本指南旨在促进环境绩效和创新,同时确保服务提供商以平等的地位并按照一致的报告和问责要求运营。*这包括废物转运设施,它可以作为主要或次要服务提供商。本指南的第二受众包括废物产生者[市政和工业、商业和机构(ICI)]、管理人员和制造商,或两者兼而有之,他们希望确保他们正确处理其产品的EOL管理,包括最佳实践指南,以减少其废物管理实践对环境的负面影响。
该指南虽然不直接适用,但也有利于省级和地方政府,它们负责监管、批准和监督回收设施,并确保有效回收项目的实施。其他受益者包括政策制定者和公民活动人士、对回收标准、指南和最佳实践感兴趣的研究人员和学术界人士,以及公众,他们希望确保自己的产品和包装在EOL得到妥善管理,不会对人类健康或环境造成风险。这个问题的答案是“这对我有什么好处?”对于每个利益相关者来说都是不同的。换言之,重要的是要理解,每个利益相关者群体在本指南中的利益和利害关系将因其使用而不同。例如,负责设定收集和回收目标的省级监管机构对本指南的使用将与服务提供商不同,后者使用本指南来提高各自的竞争力。
1.3使用本指南的注意事项本指南适用于主要和次要服务提供商。虽然最初是为安大略省开发的,但本指南中包含的信息也可能适用于其他司法管辖区的服务提供商。本指南适用于一系列EOL产品和材料,包括但不限于以下内容:a)纸张和包装;b) 食物垃圾;c) 树叶和庭院垃圾;d) 纺织品;e) 木材废料;f) 玻璃;g) 金属;h) 塑料;i) 废弃电气和电子设备(WEEE);j) 城市危险或特殊废物(MHSW);k) 建筑及拆卸废物(C&D);l) 旧轮胎;m) 汽车废物,包括维修废物;n) 耐用品;o)工业过程残留物。应注意的是,本指南不取代地方、省或国家法规,不得被解释为任何法规要求的替代或法律解释。
还必须认识到,在更成熟的市场中,某些材料和产品已经存在一些标准。本指南旨在补充现有法律、标准和采购政策,以帮助确保可靠、准确的测量和报告,并促进实现最大效益的EOL流程的开发。虽然本指南基于行业最佳实践,但人们认识到,技术和流程在不断发展。因此,明天的最佳实践将不可避免地超越今天的最佳实践。随着更多信息可用,应修订或制定本指南,以反映与材料EOL管理相关的最新发展。例如,这可能包括国内标准、国际标准或两者的制定。同样,新的竞争和创新也不应被阻止,因为它可能会部署本指南编写时没有想到的想法。
重要的是所报告的绩效结果的透明度。本指南不试图解释有关材料特定移动的决策背后的原因。此类决策可能涉及许多因素,包括但不限于经济可行性和其他环境因素。然而,本指南确实有助于理解这些决定的含义。1.4定义改道和改道率本指南不用于定义改道活动或改道绩效率(即什么构成改道)。定义和绩效方法通常因组织和管辖区以及材料类型而异。尽管如此,本指南中的报告要求提供了指标,使政府或组织能够清楚、透明地报告所有材料使用的具体管理方法。
PrefaceThis is the first edition of CSA SPE-890, A Guideline for accountable management of end-of-life materials. CSA SPE-890 has been developed as a guideline and does not contain any mandatory language. It provides guidance and best practices for management of end-of-life (EOL) materials.Scope1.1 Objectives This Guideline has been developed to aid primary and secondary service providers and to establish a set of common definitions, performance metrics, and reporting requirements in support of best practices in the management of end-of-life (EOL) materials. In addition to providing a consistent framework that will allow for more effective and informed decision making on EOL management options, this Guideline facilitates a rigorous, transparent, and accountable materials management system that provides for greater assurance regarding the management of these materials, from the point of collection through to final disposition. It describes a method to account for and verify these flows (serving to improve data accuracy) and identifies the key elements of a data verification audit. This Guideline provides a transparent means to support the move to a more circular economy*. Unlike the linear model, which is based on a "take-make-consume and dispose" pattern of growth, a circular economy keeps resources within the economy, optimizing resource reuse potential and creating further value. * See European Commission, Towards a Circular Economy. 1.2 Target audience The primary audiences for this Guideline are current and prospective service providers with responsibilities for ensuring the proper management of EOL materials*. This Guideline is designed to promote environmental performance and innovation, while ensuring that service providers operate on equal standing and according to consistent reporting and accountability requirements. * This includes waste transfer facilities, which may act as a primary or secondary service provider. The secondary audience of this Guideline includes waste generators [municipal and industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI)], stewards and manufacturers, or both, who want assurance that they are properly addressing the EOL management of their products, including guidance on best practices to reduce the negative environmental impacts of their waste management practices. While not directly applicable, this Guideline also benefits provincial and local governments, who are responsible for regulating, approving, and overseeing recycling facilities, as well as ensuring the implementation of effective recycling programs. Other beneficiaries include policy makers and citizen activists, researchers and academics interested in recycling standards, guides, and best practices, as well as the general public, who want assurances that their products and packaging are properly managed at EOL, without risk to human health or the environment. The answer to the question "What's in it for me?" is different for each stakeholder. In other words, it is important to understand that each stakeholder group will have different interests and stakes in this Guideline according to the benefits they derive from its use. For example, provincial regulatory agencies responsible for setting collection and recycling targets will have a different use for this Guideline compared to a service provider using it to improve their respective competitiveness. 1.3 Considerations for using this Guideline This Guideline is intended for use by primary and secondary service providers. Although originally developed for Ontario, the information contained within this Guideline may also be applicable to service providers in other jurisdictions. This Guideline is applicable to a range of EOL products and materials including, but not necessarily limited to the following: a) paper and packaging; b) food waste; c) leaf and yard waste; d) textiles; e) wood waste; f) glass; g) metals; h) plastics; i) waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE); j) municipal hazardous or special waste (MHSW); k) construction and demolition waste (C&D); l) used tires; m) automotive wastes including maintenance wastes; n) durable goods; and o) industrial process residues. It should be noted that this Guideline does not supersede local, provincial, or national regulations and must not be construed as a substitute for, or legal interpretation of, any regulatory requirements. It is also important to recognize that some standards already exist for certain materials and products in more mature markets. This Guideline is intended to complement existing laws, standards, and procurement policies to help ensure reliable and accurate measurement and reporting and to promote the development of EOL processes that achieve the greatest benefits. While this Guideline is based on industry best practices, it is recognized that technologies and processes are constantly evolving. As such, tomorrow's best practices will inevitably evolve beyond those of today. As more information becomes available, this Guideline should be revised, or others developed, to reflect the latest developments related to the EOL management of materials. This may include, for example, the development of domestic standards, international standards, or both. Similarly, new competition and innovation should not be inhibited from emerging because it may deploy ideas not conceived of when this Guideline was written. What is important is the transparency of the reported performance outcomes achieved. This Guideline does not attempt to explain the reasoning behind decisions made about the particular movement of materials. Many factors may be involved in such decision making, including, but not limited to, economic viability and other environmental considerations. This Guideline does, however, facilitate an opportunity to understand the implication of these decisions. 1.4 Defining diversion and diversion rates This Guideline is not intended to be used to define diversion activities nor diversion performance rates (i.e., what constitutes diversion). Definitions and performance methodologies often vary between organizations and jurisdictions and by material types. Nevertheless, the reporting requirements in this Guideline provide the metrics to allow governments or organizations to report clearly and transparently on the specific management approach used for all materials.
