“…We also advise national coordination between the local and central levels of government to determine the waste treatment capacity of unsorted waste in the various areas of individual countries [35]. This is a particularly important issue because the construction of WTE plants is often subject to the NIMBY syndrome [36,37]. To ensure that this tendency is overcome, coordination is needed between the various levels of government to reach an agreement on the WTE plants necessary to ensure that the objectives of the circular economy can be achieved.…”

Market Structure of Urban Waste Treatment and Disposal: Empirical Evidence from the Italian Industry

In light of the organizational dynamics of services of economic interest, the regulation of municipal solid waste management is a critical issue to deal with so as to achieve sustainability goals in the coming decades. The European circular economy targets limit the share of municipal waste in landfills to a maximum of 10% by 2035. Consequently, waste-to-energy plants may temporarily become the primary option for residual unsorted waste. The municipal waste management chain comprises two consequential stages: collection and transport, and the treatment and disposal stage, which characterizes as an oligopolistic market structure. After defining the relevant market and calculating market concentration measures, we analyze market power in the treatment and disposal of non-recyclable mixed waste, also known as residual waste. Our analyses are based on empirical data using well-known market concentration indices such as the Herfindahl–Hirschman index and concentration ratios. We report the results of three different market concentration scenarios based on alternative geographic and product market definitions. Considering only waste-to-energy as a product market, we present a situation of moderate concentration, typically involving the attention of competition authorities. On the contrary, considering both options as a single product market, no relevant evidence emerges due to the significant share of waste sent to landfills in 2019, i.e., 20.1% of the total municipal solid waste generated in Italy. Implications for future studies consist of new detailed information on the municipal waste treatment market structure in one of the leading European countries that may prompt comparative studies. Policy implications are derived from the possibility of taking cues from this paper to envisage appropriate regulatory models for an evolving sector in which market spaces are increasing.

“…Initial protests at Shies strongly resembled nimby activism. Antiwaste protests against landfills, incinerators, and so on, are usually examples of nimby-type activism -actions of locals opposing unwanted projects in their neighborhoods (Johnson and Scicchitano 2012). However, within a few months of the first messages about the planned landfill at Shies, protests spread across the region as well as the neighboring Komi Republic.…”

“Pomor’e ne Pomoika”: Framing the Protest Campaign against the Landfill Project at Shies Station in Russia’s Arkhangelsk Region

This chapter explores the protest movement Pomor'e ne pomoika, which took on the construction of the Shies landfill in Arkhangelsk region. 1 The movement began in 2018 and lasted about two years, becoming one of the most visible Russian environmental protests of the last decade ("Kak protestuiut rossiiane" 2020). This reaction to the use of unoccupied land -specifically, the creation of a giant "ecotechnopark," which was more a dump for waste from Moscow than a modern and sustainable waste utilization project -started at the local level, but quickly attracted regional and even national attention. Rallies and pickets in support of the Shies protesters were organized from Kaliningrad to Novosibirsk, and even abroad, in Oslo and Cologne (Iadroshnikov 2018). Despite the authoritarian system of government in Russia, protests of various scope are in fact common. Between 2007 and 2016, around 9.5 percent of all protests had an environmental agenda (Lankina and Tertytchnaya 2020). Usually, these protests remained localized (Wu and Martus 2021). What is peculiar about the Shies protest is that a seemingly local issue attracted massive, countrywide support. In this chapter, I analyze how protest coordinators and activists framed their opposition in order to better understand what allowed the Shies campaign to resonate on the national level, attract thousands of supporters, 1 "Pomor'e is not a dump." (All translations are my own, unless stated otherwise.)Pomor'e is a territory along the White Sea in Russia's European North.

“…For a critical position, and following the concept "Not in my back yard", see [50][51][52][53][54]. The proposed regulatory models (BC, HKC and SRR), lack the necessary balance and in-depth approach to the ownership of the global fleet and its level of transparency in relation to the SSRI.…”
