The aim of the project is to complete the existing infrastructure and investment equipment that will ensure an integrated waste management in the county, ensuring the minimum standards necessary for compliance with EU legislation regarding the environmental sector, as well as the achievement of the commitments Romania has made under the Accession Treaty. We can thus define the general objectives of the project as the following: Recycling/recovery capacity: the project provides for the operationalisation of a sorting station in Ovidiu’s locality of a total capacity of 23000 tonnes/year in order to ensure the selective collection of waste in the project area; and mechano-biological treatment of biodegradable waste in the mechano-biological treatment plants at Tortoman and Ovidiu with a total capacity of 155000 tonnes/year; (Ovidium – 120000 tons/year and Tortoman – 35000 tons/year). Developed capacities ensure the recycling of 35,752 tonnes of packaging waste, of which at least: Recycling and recovery of packaging waste – Target: Total recovery: 60 %, Total recycling: 55 % with: 60 % glass 60 % paper/cardboard 50 % metal 22,5 % plastic 15 % wood – Increase the capacity of waste recovery as a result of mechanical-biological treatment of biodegradable waste in the mechano-biological treatment plants at Tortoman and Ovidiu; in this respect, the mechanical-biological treatment of the two facilities will obtain a total quantity of 77,452 tonnes/year of biostabilised material similar to compost (CLO) which, in the case of Constanta county, can be reused for the coating of compliant landfills. This ensures that the amount of biodegradable waste is reduced by 35 % compared to 1995. — To raise citizens’ awareness of the benefits of implementing the project, as well as to change their waste collection and management habits.
