Indicator definition and description | 5 | Definition / description of indicator | Estimates mass of materials going to anaerobic digestion. |
6 | Rationale | Part of the actions planned by the city of Seville consists in testing the methane production capacity of the biowaste collected through a process of anaerobic codigestion with sewage sludge in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The city's wastewater treatment plants have biogas production systems based on an anaerobic digestion of their sludge. Furthermore, in recent years, EMASESA has opted for the co-digestion, together with its sewage sludge, of other industrial effluents with significant biodegradable organic matter content, to increase the production of renewable biogas. It is consider interesting evaluate how biowaste can contribute in the production of renewable biogas. | |

6 | Rationale | Part of the demonstration actions are based on improve the separately collection of biowaste in the City of Seville. The biowaste collected is composted in a treatment plant. Currently, only the 2% of biowaste collected is sold for agronomic purposes, due to their quality. For that reason is need evaluate the quality and quantity of the material (biowaste) collected in terms of obtaining better compost and improve its commercialization and use. | |

Currently, only the 2% of biowaste collected is sold for agronomic purposes, due to their quality. The compost produced in 2020, from organic materal (biowate + mixed waste) from the city of Seville was around 15.200 tons. It is consider interesting evaluate how the demoaction also contributes to the quantity of material for composting in terms of city. | |

Indicator definition and description | 5 | Definition / description of indicator | The End-of-Life Processing Rate (EoL PR) measures the efficiency of the end-of-life processing process. |
6 | Rationale | Several actions of the city of Seville in the project promote the recycling of biowaste, through the installation of a separate collection system and pilot alternatives of treatment further than composting. Also, others actions such as communication campaings will be carried out in order to promote the system, his correct use and awareness about the types of material which are allowed in the "container for biowaste". This last item results in the purity of the material obtanied and therefore, in the efficiency of the recycling process. | |

Indicator definition and description | 5 | Definition / description of indicator | The End-of-Life Processing Rate (EoL PR) measures the efficiency of the end-of-life processing process. |
6 | Rationale | oject activities aim to increase recycling and upcycling of materials instead of landfilling. r instance, several actions of the city of Seville in the project promote the recycling of biowaste, through the installation of a separate collection system and pilot alternatives of treatment further than composting. Also, on the other hand it is expected that the implementation of separate biowaste collection will improve the quantities and quality of the rest of the fractions that are selectively collected (Glass, paper and board, and lightpackaging mainly), and therefore the efficiency of the recycling process, because of the hypothetical improvement of purity-quality of these fractions. | |
