Section 22, Paragraph two, Clause 1 of
of the Waste Management Law
1. This Regulation prescribes the waste recovery types (Annex
1) and the waste disposal types (Annex 2).
2. Incineration of municipal solid waste in dedicated
incinerators shall be classified as code R1 corresponding waste
recovery type if the energy efficiency of such facilities are
equal to or greater than:
2.1. 0.60 - for facilities operating in accordance with the
laws and regulations regarding the requirements for waste
incineration and operation of waste incinerators and for the
operation of which a permit for Category A or B polluting
activity has been issued before 1 January 2009;
2.2. 0.65 - for facilities for the operation of which a permit
for Category A or B polluting activity has been issued after 31
December 2008.
3. Energy efficiency of the incinerators referred to in
Paragraph 2 of this Regulation shall be calculated in accordance
with Annex 3 to this Regulation.
4. Waste gasification and pyrolysis, using waste components as
chemical substances, shall be classified as code R3 corresponding
waste recovery type.
5. Soil treatment, which results in recovery of soil, and
recycling of inorganic construction materials shall be classified
as code R5 corresponding waste recovery type.
6. If a more corresponding waste recovery code cannot be
identified to classify the corresponding waste recovery
operation, code R12 and sub-codes R12A, R12B and R12C shall be
used to classify operations, which are performed prior to waste
recovery, including waste pre-treatment (including dismantling,
sorting, crushing, compressing, granulation, drying, cutting,
conditioning, repackaging, separating or mixing), before using
any of the waste recovery types corresponding to R1, R2, R3, R3A,
R3B, R3C, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, R10A or R11 codes or
sub-codes.
[2 April 2013]
7. Code D11 corresponding waste disposal type is prohibited in
accordance with the laws and regulations in the field of
ship-generated waste management and the international agreements
in the field of marine environment and marine safety.
8. If a more corresponding waste recovery code cannot be
identified to classify the corresponding waste disposal
operation, code D13 shall be used to classify operations, which
are performed prior to waste disposal, including waste
pre-treatment (covering sorting, crushing, compressing,
granulation, drying, cutting, conditioning or separating), before
using any of the waste recovery types corresponding to codes D1,
D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11 or D12.

Annex 3
Cabinet Regulation No. 319
26 April 2011
Calculation of Energy Efficiency
of Waste Incinerators
Energy efficiency of the waste incinerators referred to in
Paragraph 2 of this Regulation shall be calculated in accordance
with the best available technical methods for waste incineration,
using the following formula:
Energy efficiency = (Ep - (Ef +
Ei))/(0,97 × (Ew + Ef)),where:
Ep - thermal energy or electricity generated within a year,
which is calculated by multiplying the amount of energy, which is
expressed as electricity, by the coefficient 2.6 and by
multiplying the amount of thermal energy generated for commercial
purposes by the coefficient 1.1 (GJ/year);
Ef - amount of fuel energy fed into the facility within a year
for generation of steam (GJ/year);
Ew - the amount of energy provided by waste incineration
within a year, which is calculated using the lowest waste thermal
capacity (GJ/year);
Ei - the amount of energy supplied to facilities within a
year, excluding Ew and Ef (GJ/year);
0.97 - a factor that characterises energy losses from dross
generation and heat emission.

Protection
