COS RE(3) GARDA E CHE OBIETTIVI SI PROPONE

Re(3) Garda un progetto di cooperazione ambientale dei 9 comuni del Parco Alto GardaBresciano:

Sal Gardone Riviera Toscolano Maderno Gargnano Magasa Valvestino Tignale Tremosine Limone

CAPITOLO 1


4/86

Il progetto consiste nella creazione di un gruppo di lavoro tra tutti gli Assessori allAmbiente e/oEcologia oltrech per conoscenza ai Sindaci dei suddetti comuni.

Lobiettivo del gruppo di lavoro quello di riuscire a rendere partecipi i singoli comuni di unprogetto partecipativo sui temi ambientali.

Attualmente il gruppo di lavoro si incontra con una frequenza mensile nella sala consiliare dellacomunit montana Parco Alto Garda a Gargnano.

Il progetto RE(3)Garda si propone di attuare il concetto di Waste hierarchy previst a dalladirettiva 2008/98/EC del Parlamento Europeo .

Il concetto legato alle 3RE ossia Reduce, Reuse, Recycle nellottica della European Wastehierarchy come un punto cardine della strategia che le amministrazioni locali devono compiereper realizzare una riduzione netta del rifuto secco indifferenziato da mandare nelle fase diRecovery (ossia lincenerimento per ricavare energia) e la fase Dispo sal (ossia la discarica

controllata).La novit del progetto RE(3)Garda sta nel fatto che non un gestore a proporre le iniziativeambientali per il miglioramento del ciclo integrato, ma le singole amministrazioni comunali, che,in maniera coordinata, cercano di attuare soluzioni innovative per la risoluzione del problemanellottica della direttiva comunitaria. Lobiettivo dichiarato di una riduzione netta del rifiuto secco di minimo il 30% sarebbe unrisultato storico per una zona altamente turistica come il Garda Bresciano.Lutilizzo inoltre di unarea cos differente come periodicit (ossia il picco turistico estivo concirca 2 milioni di presenze turistiche stagionali su 30.000 abitanti) potrebbe essere un bacino distudio sperimentale esportabile in altri comuni e citt italiane.

The 3Rs are categories at the top of our disposal options. They include a variety of initiatives for disposing of discards. Generally,options lowest on the list are least desirable.

Reduce - to buy less and use less. Incorporates common senseideas like turning off the lights, rain barrels, and taking shorter

showers, but also plays a part in Composting/Grasscycling(transportation energy is reduced), low-flow toilets, and

programmable thermostats. Includes the terms Re-think, Precycle,Carpool, Efficient, and Environmental Footprint.

Reuse - elements of the discarded item are used again. Initiativesinclude Hand-Me-Downs, Garage Sales, Quilting, Travel Mugs, and Composting (nutrients). Includes the terms Laundry, Repair,Regift, and Upcycle.

Recycle - discards are separated into materials that may beincorporated into new products. This is different from Reuse inthat energy is used to change the physical properties of thematerial. Initiatives include Composting, Beverage Container Deposits and buying products with a high content of post-consumer material.

Generate - capturing useful material for waste to energy programs. Includes Methane Collection, Gasification and Digestion,and the term Recover.

Incinerate - high temperature destruction of material. Differs fromGasification in that oxygen is used; differs from burning in that high temperatures consume material efficiently and emissions arecontrolled.

Devastate - to discard into the natural environment, or to "trash"

the planet. Includes Litter, Burn Barrels, Unnecessary Vehicle Idling, and Dumping discards onto land or into water.

GLI OBIETTIVI DEL PROGETTO RE(3)GARDA

I Progetti operativi che il gruppo di lavoro ha proposto nellannualit 2010 sono i seguenti.

Compostaggio Locale

Analisi Proposta realizzazione progetto con Bigbelly Solar

Educazione Ambientale Comune Eco-Scools

Analisi bacino PAG per verificare fattibilit Raccolta Differenziata Spinta

Tutti i quattro progetti sono stati condivisi a livello comunitario e sarebbero, soprattutto i primidue, delle sperimentazioni uniche a livello nazionale.


7/86

COMPOSTAGGIO COLLETTIVO

COMPOSTAGGIO LOCALE: COS? Nella pattumiera degli europei e degli italiani la frazione umida organica (scarti di cucina e digiardino) rappresenta tra il 40 e il 50 per cento del totale: una particolare attenzione va quindiposta nei confronti di questa frazione merceologica.

In diversi Paesi Europei, soprattutto in quelli scandinavi, al compostaggio domestico tipicamenteindividuale andato per affiancandosi il compostaggio fatto da pi famiglie o da grandi utenze:si parla cos di compostaggio locale collettivo (di comunit, di quartiere o decentralizzato).I rifiuti domestici organici e gli scarti di giardino devono essere introdotti nella compostieraJK5100 tramite un apposito sportello, per venire poi automaticamente triturati insieme a pellet.Sono quindi trasferiti nella cosiddetta camera di sviluppo, dotata di un impianto di aerazione,dove il rifiuto fresco viene mescolato con il materiale gi presente. Dopo circa due settimaneviene trasferito nella camera di maturazione, dove viene completato il processo dicompostaggio.La presenza di due sezioni separate allinterno del macchinario, ci ascuna controllata in modoautonomo, permette di assicurare i migliori risultati possibili, in condizioni di assoluta igiene.

QUESTE LE PRINCIPALI CARATTERISTICHE DELLA COMPOSTIERAAUTOMATICA JK5100:

Possiede una potente trinciatrice-macinatrice integrata, che sminuzza il materiale organico;

E dotato di una funzione miscelatrice, che garantisce la produzione di compost ben bilanciato;

Pu essere equipaggiato con un dosatore automatico, che permette di inserire ogni volta la giusta quantit dipellet;

Permette agli utenti di utilizzare sacchetti di carta per raccogliere i propri rifiuti umidi domestici.

E' dotato di un impianto di sicurezza che lo rende utilizzabile da chiunque senza correre alcun rischio

Il macchinario di facile manutenzione ed stato studiato per essere accessibile a tutti, anche a persone incarrozzella.

La struttura della JK5100 realizzata in acciaio inossidabile. Tutte le parti mobili, invece, sonosostituibili, per garantire unoperativit prolungata nel tempo. Le operazioni di triturazione,mescolamento e aerazione sono regolabili da un apposito pannello di controllo, al fine dipermettere alla macchina di adattarsi con facilit a differenti flussi di rifiuti organici e garantireun compostaggio ottimale.


8/86

E CONVENIENTEADOTTARE LE COMPOSTIERE JORAFORM? IN QUANTOTEMPO SI RIPAGA LIN VESTIMENTO?Lutilizzo dei macchinari Joraform per il compostaggio locale collettivo consente di ridurre ilcosto di raccolta, trasporto, trattamento e smaltimento dei rifiuti organici dal 30 al 70 per cento,oltre ad abbattere linquinamento e le emissioni da traffico. Comuni tra i cinquecento e i mille abitanti che hanno promosso il compostaggio domesticoindividuale, raggiungendo percentuali di adesione a tale pratica del 50 70%, possono in questomodo eliminare il circuito di raccolta della frazione umida con linstallazione di una solamacchina compostatrice.In proporzione, lo stesso risultato pu essere ottenuto da Comuni tra i duemila e i cinquemilaabitanti, ma anche Comuni pi grandi possono installare, o far installare, la macchina pressocondomini, mense aziendali, scuole, case di riposo, ristoranti e hotel, ovvero i grandiproduttori di rifiuti umidi organici. Considerando unobsolescenza tecnica di 15 anni, una compostiera JK5100 si ripaga in un lassodi tempo compreso tra i due e i quattro anni. Tali benefici economici aumentano ulteriormentein situazioni geografiche particolari (come territori montani distanti dai centri abitati o isole),dove una singola macchina consente risparmi fino a 4.000 euro/anno.

SONO PREVISTE FORME DI GARANZIA?

I prodotti Joraform beneficiano di una garanzia da parte della casa madre svedese di due annisu tutti i componenti; la manodopera non inclusa.

QUALI SONO I CONSUMI ENERGETICI DI UNA COMPOSTIERAAUTOMATICA JK5100?I macchinari Joraform sono stati studiati e progettati per ridurre al minimo le proprie necessitenergetiche. Questo un riassunto generale dei consumi medi in un anno.Considerando un costo medio italiano di 0,21 /kW, il co sto complessivo per il funzionamento diuna compostiera automatica JK5100 inferiore ai 250 euro annuali.Si ottiene compost di qualit? Il prodotto finale, che dipende ovviamente dalla qualit del materiale organico immesso, risultaessere mediamente di ottima qualit.Questi alcuni risultati di uno studio realizzato nel 2006 sul compost prodottodal Familjebostder di Goteborg (Svezia), area in cui sono state installate sette compostiere


9/86

PROPOSTA DI PROGETTO

La proposta quella di inserire un sistema sperimentale che inserisca nelle isole ecologiche:

1 Joraform JK5100 per i comuni sotto i 2500 abitanti

2 Joraform JK5100 per i comuni tra i 2500 e i 5000 abitanti

3 Joraform JK5100 per i comuni oltre i 5000 abitanti

Linserimento di o gni Joraform JK5100 ha potenzialmente un risultato operativo di 20 ton/anno.La riduzione quindi di FORSU genererebbe un risparmio potenziale di 3000/macchina per anno. Stimando una spesa della macchina sui 15.000 e una vita della suddetta pari a 15 -20 annipossiamo affermare che:Senza alcun contributo (UE-Statale-Regionale) la macchina ha una resa netta di 10-15 anni conun risparmio effettivo sulla spesa di RSU pari a 30.000- 45.000 Riuscendo a sfruttare invece un contributo in merito al progetto (dato che sarebbe il primoprogetto sperimentale in italia) la resa del sistema sarebbe molto pi elevata, riducendo di nettoil costo delle macchine.

Lultimo passaggio del progetto sarebbe legato ad incentivi economici per lacquisto da parte digrandi utenze alberghiere di Joraform JK5100.

Esempio: Grand Hotel GardoneLhotel paga una TARSU oltre i 50.000/anno e ovviamente la gran parte di rifiuto prodotto sarFORSU (ossia Frazione Umida). Proponendo allutenza alberghiera lacquisto della compostieracom unitaria si avrebbe innanzitutto leliminazione del ritiro dellumido presso lutenza, oltrechlabbassamento della RSU complessiva. Come controparte il comune potrebbe proporre un incentivo economico allacquisto con unariduzione in tarsu pari al massimo della FORSU gestibile dalla JK5100. Ossia: 20ton/anno =3000. Avviando un progetto sperimentale simile potremmo quindi verificare la fattibilit di unampliamento al modello nordico, ossia una compostiera per ogni frazione (quindi permettendo ilconfer imento di prossimit da parte dellutenza finale).

Il costo iniziale del progetto (15 Macchine 225.000) sarebbe da affrontare cercando finanziamenti nel settore.

FASE2

Utilizzando il profilo medio di 3246 abitanti e una R.I. pari a 2318,755 ton/anno possiamoaffermare che:

Applicando un modello con 10 macchine posizionate nel territorio avremmo una riduzione potenziale di 200 ton/anno;

Il costo di un modello simile sarebbe di circa 150.000

Il ROI avrebbe una tempistica media (come gi affrontato nei calcoli precedenti) a 4-5 anni.

Dopo il 4-5 anno tutto il mancato conferimento della FORSU nella RSU genererebbe un guadagno netto di circa 30.000annui.

Sulla base del ciclo di vita della macchina (20 anni), possiamo quindi affermare che il guadagno netto potenziale di unprogetto simile pari a 450.000.

BIGBELLY SOLAR:SPERIMENTAZIONE CESTINI

COS BIGBELLY SOLAR ?E alimentato con energia solare .Facciamo per un veloce preambolo.Sapete quanto consumano i camion della spazzatura per prelevare e rimuovere la spazzaturadai cestini pubblici delle citt americane? Secondo alcune stime si parla di 2,5 Miles per Gallon (2 miglia e mezzo per gallone, chetrasformato in valori a noi comprensibili, si parla di 2,17 Km al litro). Se non ci credete, fatevivoi i conti.Trovate tutti i tools sulla barra di ICTblog . Dunque sono sorte due domande.Come possibile risparmiare e rendere ecologica la raccolta della spazzatura? E mai possibile che per tenere le strade pulite si debba spendere cosi' tanto e sia cosi' antiecologico? La soluzione potrebbe essere trovata proprio in BigBelly Solar . Il suo costo di acquisto iniziale elevato, ma verrebbe ammortizzato in poco pi di un anno.Vediamo come funziona.
http://www.ictblog.it/index.php?/archives/3765-La-Toolbar-di-ICTblog.htmlhttp://www.ictblog.it/index.php?/archives/3765-La-Toolbar-di-ICTblog.htmlhttp://www.ictblog.it/index.php?/archives/3765-La-Toolbar-di-ICTblog.htmlhttp://www.ictblog.it/index.php?/archives/3765-La-Toolbar-di-ICTblog.htmlhttp://www.ictblog.it/index.php?/archives/3765-La-Toolbar-di-ICTblog.htmlhttp://www.ictblog.it/index.php?/archives/3765-La-Toolbar-di-ICTblog.html


12/86

L'idea sviluppata con BigBelly Solar quello di ridurre la frequenza di prelievo dei rifiutidepositati nei contenitori pubblici di raccolta.Ma l'unico modo di farlo quello di aumentare lo spazio disponibile. Ma non aumentando ilvolume del raccoglitore, bens riducendo quello della spazzatura.

Realizzato come un normale contenitore di tipo chiuso che si trova nelle strade americane (cheha anche il vantaggio di non far entrare gli animali o di consentire alle persone di infilarci lamano), BigBelly Solar funziona come un compattatore riducendo il volume complessivo deirifiuti. La sua capacit di ridurre il volume pari a 5 volte .E' come se il contenitore fosse 5 volte pi grande.Il motore interno alimentato dal pannello solare situato al di sopra e protetto da un vetrolenticolare che gli consente di catturare il pi a lungo possibile l'energia del sole, producendofino a 50 watt di energia pi che sufficienti per alimentare il motore interno.Il primo modello presentato consente la raccolta non differenziata dei rifiuti, ma ora sono ancheusciti i modelli per la raccolta del vetro (fratuma e sbriciola) e della carta (sminuzza ecompatta).

Risultato? La spazzatura stata ridotta di volume, le volte necessarie per il ritiro diminuiscono,si risparmiano soldi e si inquina di meno.Il costo? si parla di 4- 5000 per contenitore.

I materiali utilizzati per realizzare O pappne americano sono: plastica riciclata e verniciatossiche ed ecologiche.Forse non la soluzione definitiva, ma sono le piccole cose che trasformano gli obiettiviambiziosi in realt.

CASE STUDYThe City of Boston The solar trash receptacles have to go citywide. It will give us a moreproductive work force because you dont have to pick them up everyday. Mayor ThomasMeninoThe Town of Banff, AB, Canada It is not only an operational savings, but its also anenvironmental savings from less fuel. Chad Townsend, Banff environmental services

coordinatorThe City of Philadelphia This technology will save taxpayers money, introduce sidewalkrecycling and keep our streets clean. This is one more important step towards achieving oursustainability goals. Mayor Michael Nutter, City of PhiladelphiaGeorgetown University The results have been nothing short of incredible, with waste collectionbeing reduced from seven times per week to two. Bill del Vecchio, Recycling Director,Georgetown UniversityArizona State University The machines are working great for the university. We only have toempty them intermittently, and theres no maintenance Im a believer now. Ted Woods,Arizona State UniversityOregon Zoo Ive been doing waste services at the Oregon Zoo for 12 years, and the BigBelly

machines have changed my life for the better, says Mark Newberg, Zoo Custodian. I have tomake less frequent trips, its easier on my back, and it even makes me take more pride inkeeping the area clean. Theyve been great. Bergen County Zoo Keeping up with the trash is a real challenge for time we had to empty sixcans daily in the food court, and twice a day on nice weekends, said Timothy Gunther, ZooDirector. We replaced the six cans with two BigBellys and now only have to empty them everyother day. Its been a tremendous time savings. Patriot Place In addition to promoting recycling and reducing our waste volume and energyconsumption, we have realized significant operational efficiencies and cost savings for wasteremoval. Brian Earley, General Manager, Patriot PlaceThe Boston Red Sox We have become big fans of BigBelly and are supportive of the continued

deployment of BigBelly compactors into the neighborhoods surrounding Fenway Park. Jonathan Gilula, Senior Vice President of Business Affairs for the Red Sox

TESTIMONIALSLarry Prospect, White Plains Road BID, Bronx, NY: The BigBellys are tremendous asset forour Shopping streets. They require less attention from our sanitation people so they can placemore attention to other areas. There is no visible garbage and people do not bring theirhousehold refuse to drop in the BigBellys. Margaret McAustin, Councilwoman, City of Pasadena: Theres a savings to be had because

they require less frequent pick-ups. They were very successful and they were very wellreceived, and because they can accommodate more trash they result in less garbage around thetrash cans. Scott McGrath, R ecycling Coordinator, City of Philadelphia Streets Dept: The wirelessmonitoring system has made it very easy to manage our inventory all across Center City. Theability to sort through historical data by collection route and discover collection patterns gives usvaluable and actionable information. Eric Baker, Special Projects Director for the Kitsap County Commissioners With all 80installed, we should save about $48,000 a year in truck expenses, such as fuel and maintenancecosts. On top of that, by not having to pick up the garbage as often, we will save $61,000 inlabor that can be diverted to the maintenance and operation of the parks.

Chad Townsend, Town of Banff Environmental Services Coordinator It is not only anoperational savings, but its also an environmental savings from less fuel. Amie Zander, Exec. Dir. of West Ridge Chamber of Commerce, Chicago, IL We arethrilled with our BigBelly units. We have been able to go from 2 trash pick-ups per day to onceevery 3 days indicating that they hold 6 times as much as our regular trash receptacles. We areordering more BigBelly units for next year with a goal of replacing all our trash receptacles withthe BigBelly in the next few years. Michael Lambert, Aide to Mayor Curtatone, City of Somerville, MA Somerville is a denselypopulated city with a tight budget so we are always seeking ways to do more with less. Wehad a number of constantly-overflowing trash cans in our squares that City staff were visitingfour times a day or more for collection. We did a several-month test trial with five BigBellys, and

they made a big difference. Weve now dropped to one collection per day at our busiest spots,saving valuable staff time. The BigBellys eliminated unsightly and unhealthy trashcan overflowat each s ite they were placed, even at our Dunkin Donuts/Bus Stop location, and our residentshave noticed with approval. We decided without reservation to purchase the trial units, and weplan to budget for more in the spring. David Cohen, Mayor of Newton, MA Utilizing these compactors, we have saved money byreducing collections while at the same time eliminated unsightly overflowing trash cans, andreducing pests and odorThe BigBelly trash compactors exemplify our willingness to findinnovative, environmentall y friendly projects to enhance our community. Mark Stodola, Mayor of Little Rock, AR The BigBelly is an innovative, sustainable, cost -effective product that appears perfectly suited for our River Market District and other downtown

areas. During hard economic times when the City is considering a budget with dwindlingrevenues, it is encouraging to learn about a product that has already produced significanttangible results in reducing costs in other cities. Tim McCarthy, Principal Assistant to Commissioner of Public Works, City of Boston Ithas a ton of benefits it will save the city time and money, keep litter from overflowing, anddiscourage illegal dumping of trash. This will save us a lot of time for guys to fill potholes, fixsidewalks, and do other things. Marie Torniali, Exec. Dir., Steinway Street Improvement, NYC The BigBelly has beenterrific for our beautification efforts: you can see all the trash with the other cans, which is quiteunsightly; but the BigBelly creates a much nicer look. Thomas Menino, Mayor of Boston, MA The solar trash receptacles have to go citywide. It will

give us a more productive work force because you dont have to pick them up every day.

Michael Nutter, Mayor of Philadelphia, PA This technology will save taxpayers mon ey,introduce sidewalk recycling and keep our streets clean. This is one more important steptowards achieving our sustainability goals. Rob Gogan, Recycling & Waste Manager, Harvard University: We like the BigBelly[compactors] because they can hold four times more litter than a non-compacting barrel. Thatmeans no unsightly, pest-friendly litter spilling out of the barrels. It also means that Harvard

produces 1/4th the greenhouse gas from vehicle trips to service the barrels, less vehicle noiseand air pollution, and fewer times that a truck has to disrupt pedestrian traffic. Mostgratifyingly, the new set-up will give Yard visitors the chance to recycle their cans, cups, bottlesand papers all across the Yard. Michael Lyons, Senior Buyer, Boston University During the 2009 fall semester theUniversity installed 33 BigBelly solar trash compactors and recycling receptacles. Beyondreducing the frequency of trash pick-ups and expanding our recycling program, they provided ameaningful step toward increasing visibility for the Universitys new sustainability program. Ted Woods, Refuse Coordinator, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ I was skeptical atfirst, but to my amazement, the machines are working great for the university. Theyre veryattractive and people really use them. We only have to empty them intermittently, and theres

no maintenance we dont have to worry about them at all. Im a believer now. Bill del Vecchio, Recycling Director, Georgetown University The results have been nothingshort o f incredible, with waste collection being reduced from seven times per week to two.

Introdurre Last Minute Market http://www.lastminutemarket.it/ nella nostra zona

Last Minute Market una societ spin-off dell'Universit di Bologna che nasce nel1998 come attivit di ricerca. Dal 2003 diventa realt imprenditoriale ed opera su tuttoil territorio nazionale sviluppando progetti territoriali volti al recupero dei beni invenduti(o non commercializzabili) a favore di enti caritativi. LMM si avvale di un team operativogiovane e dinamico affiancato da docenti e ricercatori dell'Universit di Bologna. Conoltre 40 progetti attivati in comuni, provincie e regioni Italiane, LMM ha consolidato unmetodo di lavoro efficace ed efficiente che permette di attivare in maniera progressiva ilsistema donazioni/ritiri tenendo sotto controllo gli aspetti nutrizionali, igienico-sanitari,logistici e fiscali.Nella fase di sviluppo dei progetti, oltre al coinvolgimento dei soggetti donatori ebeneficiari, lavoriamo a stretto contatto con gli assessorati alle attivit produttive, allepolitiche sociali e culturali degli enti locali, con prefetture e ASL in modo tale dagarantire la perfetta conformit con le normative vigenti, la trasparenza delleprocedure, il monitoraggio e la quantificazione dei risultati ottenuti.Progetti con alto contenuto innovativo, studiati su misura degli interlocutori, sirealizzano cos grazie allo stretto contatto tra il mondo universitario della FacoltdAgraria dellAlma Mater Stu diorum Universit di Bologna e attori imprenditoriali eistituzionali.Attraverso LMM le Istituzioni vedono diminuire il flusso di rifiuti da gestire e ottengonomaggiori risorse per l'assistenza alle fasce pi deboli della popolazione.Un'Istituzione (pubblica o privata) pu realizzare grazie a LMM una rete locale in grado

di avvicinare le imprese del territorio alle realt del terzo settore.

In questo modo si prevengono e si riducono i rifiuti e si recuperano i beni non utilizzatia scopo sociale. Il coinvolgimento attivo delle Istituzioni permette di strutturare ilprogetto in maniera pi efficiente ed efficace. La collaborazione con le Istituzioni dmaggiore garanzia ai progetti LMM, permette di includere anche le piccole e medie

aziende e di offrire alle aziende partecipanti benefici in termini di comunicazione socialee/o sconti sulla tassa/tariffa dei rifiuti.Nello specifico LMM opera a stretto contatto con le istituzioni al fine di individuare lamigliore soluzione progettuale in funzione delle caratteristiche del territorio. Inparticolare LMM offre assistenza per costituire e coordinare la rete donatori/beneficiari,incrociare al meglio domanda e offerta, monitorare il sistema di recupero, attivareprocedure in conformit con le normative vigenti, realizzare percorsi comunicativi einformativi e valutare gli impatti positivi sul territorio.

Developed the worlds first solar-poweredtrash compactor

Increased sales 300 percent followingproduct redesign

Cut material costs by using 30 percentfewer steel parts

Improved design quality and control

BigBelly Solar designs and manu actures innovative solar-powered trashcompaction systems that lower uel costs and carbon emissions by reducinggarbage truck trips. Used in busy places such as shopping districts, oodcourts, and entertainment venues and in remote locations including parksand beaches the BigBelly trash compaction system uses the suns energy to

compact and store ive times the amount o garbage as trash receptacles o thesame size. By decreasing the number o garbage pickups required, the BigBellygenerates cost savings and reduces exhaust emissions at the same time.

According to Je Satwicz, BigBelly Solar product manager, the decision tostandardize on SolidWorks CAD so tware during the early conceptual designphase was an important actor in ensuring that ongoing development would satis ygrowing customer demand. We made the decision to use SolidWorks so twareas our standard plat orm rom the very beginning, Satwicz recalls. Initially, weoutsourced much o the early design work to consultants who had a variety odesign packages to choose rom. We instructed them to use SolidWorks so twaresince we intended to use it when we brought the design work in-house. We hadone design partner use a competitors product on a major project. We endedup trans erring the design back to SolidWorks because we were happier withSolidWorks as a CAD design tool.

BigBelly Solar chose SolidWorks so tware because o its ease o use andwidespread popularity among partners. The company also valued the so twaresvisualization, sheet-metal design, and integrated analysis capabilities. I had usedSolidWorks in college and had become profcient with it. Our vendors all usedSolidWorks so tware, and the initial design was done on that plat orm. SolidWorkswas simply the most logical choice or us to take this product orward, Satwicz say

Innovating the first solar-powered trash compactor

BigBelly Solar used SolidWorks so tware to take the BigBelly solar-powered trashcompactor rom a single proo -o -concept prototype that debuted at ColoradosVail Ski Resort in 2004 through several additional demonstration prototypesto a ull commercial product run in the spring o 2005. A product redesign wascompleted in 2007. During BigBellys irst year on the market, the companyrealized a our- old increase in unit orders, and then tripled sales ollowing the

product redesign in 2007. The innovative compactor which stores energy via aprotected solar panel to drive an electric motor that compacts trash can operate

or a ull day with the energy equivalent used to toast a slice o bread.

Because we decided to use SolidWorks, we had the tools to optimize the design andaccelerate development, enabling us to cultivate and grab a signifcant share o thismarket, explains Satwicz. We not only delivered the worlds frst and only on-sitesolar-powered trash compactor, but also quickly refned and improved upon our initialdesign. We plan to continue that e ort by leveraging the integrated analysis toolsavailable with SolidWorks so tware.

Sheet-metal design cuts costs, improves quality

During the BigBelly redesign, the company used SolidWorks sheet-metal design,

SolidWorks SimulationXpress, and inter erence detection tools to cut materialcosts, reducing the number o steel parts in the compactor by 30 percent. Becausethe SolidWorks model contains all sheet-metal design in ormation includingbends, lat patterns, holes, and eatures the company ensured quality control othe design during abrication and produced a lighter, lower-cost product.

By using SolidWorks or mechanical design, we can make use o the pre-packaged sheet-metal eatures, which integrate seamlessly with our sheet-metalmanu acturers system, Satwicz notes. Because we are working with the same seo data, we eliminate a lot o guesswork rom the sheet-metal abrication processwhich results in ewer surprises and consistently high quality.

Keeping design partners on the same page

Working with a team o strategic partners that use SolidWorks so tware providesBigBelly Solar with e ective control o the product development process, whilestreamlining communications. Satwicz says using a standardized plat orm cuts dayand weeks rom the development process, minimizes the potential or errors anddelays, and gives BigBelly Solar greater control o product quality and innovation

Because all o the work completed by our design and manu acturing vendorslows through us, we have total control o what we are doing in terms o product

releases, Satwicz stresses. SolidWorks enables us to keep everyone on the samepage so we can control revisions, eliminate rework, and minimize the chances ormistakes all o which serves to improve quality.

Executive Summary

On April 30, 2009, Mayor Michael Nutter unveiled the first of 500 solar powered trash compactors and 210 companion single stream recycling units to be installed throughout Center City Philadelphia. The City had been making 17 trips each week to empty 700 wire baskets throughout Center City, at an

annual cost of about $2.3 million. After replacing those 700 receptacles with 500 solar powered compactors and 210 recycling units, the City collects only 5 times a week, at an annual operating cost of about $720,000 representing a 70% savings. Performing those 17 collections each week required 33 workers on 3 shifts, while performing the 5 collections per week under the new program requires only 9 workers on a single shift. The other workers have been re assigned to other, more productive tasks. The deployment plan was a comprehensive package including a 3year financing program, a 4year extended warranty and service plan, and a wireless monitoring system on all 500 units.

Highlights of the program include: Immediate savings: By entering into a 3year financing arrangement, the City has no up front

capital cost and will realize collection cost savings in the first year of approximately $850,000. Ongoing savings: The City will save nearly $13 million in cumulative collection cost savings over

the next 10 years, net of the equipment cost. Annual operating cost reduction of 70 percent: compaction reduces collection demand, which

directly reduces operating costs and associated vehicle fuel use and emissions.

Before After Savings Collection frequency 17/week 5/week 12/week (70%)Annual operating cost $2,300,000 $720,000 $1,580,000 (70%)Cumulative 10 year cost $23 million $10 million $13 million (70%) In conjunction with the installation of the solar powered trash compactors, the City introduced public space recycling for the very first time in Philadelphia. Mayor Nutter has launched a major public relations and neighborhood education campaign called "Philly Throws Green" with a (www.phillythrowsgreen.org ). This program is part of the Mayors broader initiative called "Greenworks Philadelphia" (www.greenworksphila.org ), the new comprehensive sustainability framework designed to help the City meet its proclaimed goal of becoming "America's number one green city."

In the current economy, many cities and towns are actively seeking ways to reduce operating costs and balance their budgets. The City of Philadelphia is demonstrating that solar compactors can significantly

reduce annual operating costs in the first year, and for years thereafter, by reducing collection frequency requirements. Providing the Citys first public space recycling program and having the ability to track operations are additional features of the program, which offers clear economic, environmental and educational benefits.


47/86


Case Study

With a population of about 1.5 million people, Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the

sixth most populous city in the United States. Philadelphia contains many national historic sites that relate to the founding of the United States, and attracts millions of visitors each year for business and

tourism. Philadelphias economy is heavily based upon manufacturing, refining, food and financial services. The City is also a national center of law study.

The Center City district, located between the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers and between Spring Garden and South Streets, represents the heart of downtown Philadelphia and is home to a majority of the shopping, nightlife, businesses, and historical attractions for which Philadelphia is famous.

Significant waste challenge

The volume of pedestrian traffic in the downtown area creates a significant challenge to the Citys

Department of Streets, the agency tasked with keeping the streets clean and staying current with a

massive public waste challenge. The volume of trash in the district has traditionally required the use of 700 trash receptacles, each collected 17 times per week via four distinct collection routes. The headcount to staff these routes totaled 33, working three full time shifts at a cost to the City of $2.3

million per year.

A Novel Solution

City officials and specialists from the Massachusetts based company BigBelly Solar (the Company) jointly

completed a comprehensive analysis of the number and placement of all trash receptacles, the timing of

the collection routes, and the costs associated with the entire operation. Then, in an effort to maximize

efficiencies for the City, the parties carefully completed capacity planning and determined the optimal deployment of the Companys solar compactors, companion recycling units, and related wireless

notification technology. The resulting solution, consisting of 500 BigBelly solar compactors and 210

matching single stream recycling containers, proved to be a cost efficient alternative to current expensive and time consuming collection efforts. The recycling containers represent the first public space recycling offering ever in the City of Philadelphia, which Mayor Michael Nutter introduced following the success of the Citys single stream residential recycling program.

Substantial Savings

The solar compactors increase capacity by approximately 5 times compared to the Citys wire mesh litter

baskets, enabling Philadelphia to reduce its collection frequency from 17 times per week to 5 times per week, and to reduce budgeted staffing from 33 to 9, operating on a single shift rather than three. Reduced collection trips will also substantially cut related fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions. The annual cost of collection with the new system is estimated to be approximately $720,000 representing a 70 percent reduction from the old system.


48/86


The comparison of collection frequency and associated costs under the old system and under the new system are summarized in the chart below:

Before After Savings Collection frequency 17/week 5/week 12/week (71%)Number of workers 33 9 24 (73%)Number of shifts 3 1 2 (67%)Annual operating cost $2,300,000 $720,000 $1,580,000 (67%)Cumulative 10 year cost $23 million $10 million* $13 million (70%) *Including the cost of the solar compactor and recycling equipment

Financing the Equipment Costs

The City purchased the equipment through a lease to own finance program offered by the Company

and therefore was not required to make an upfront capital expenditure to realize an immediate cash flow improvement. This allowed the City to use the deployment to help close a budget shortfall they

faced for fiscal year 2010. The financing arrangement is for three years, during which the equipment lease costs will be less than half the amount of the operating cost savings, resulting in a net cash flow

savings for the City even during the lease period. Over the ten year useful life of the compactors, the

cumulative projected savings that the City expects to realize is about $13 million.

The net operating cost reductions are illustrated in the following graph.


49/86


Highlights of the program include:

Immediate savings : By entering into a 3year financing arrangement, the City has no up front capital cost and will realize cash flow savings in the first year of approximately $850,000.

Ongoing savings : The City will save nearly $13 million in cumulative operating cost savings over the next 10 years, net of the equipment cost.

Annual operating cost reduction of 70 percent: compaction reduces collection demand, which directly reduces operating costs and associated vehicle fuel use and emissions.

The net annual operating cost savings accrue starting in the first year of the program, and over time add

up to a substantial savings for the City, as illustrated in the following graph.

Description of the Solar Powered Compactors

The compactors are self powered, requiring no wiring or external electrical connection, and automatically compact the waste when the trash inside reaches a certain level. The solar photovoltaic

panel turns daylight into electricity, which is stored in a small battery inside the unit, allowing the

machine to run at night and during prolonged periods of inclement weather on only battery reserve power. As users deposit trash, it falls into a 32gallon bin inside the machine. When the level of trash eventually rises above the top of the inner bin, the trash interrupts an electric eye beam, triggering the motor to compact the trash down into the bin, making room for more trash. Users can safely continue

to deposit additional trash during compaction cycles: the machines have an insertion hopper that

prevents hands from reaching into the compaction area, and do not lock users out during compaction to prevent litter.

This process repeats automatically as needed until the machine is ready for collection, typically holding

about 160 gallons of uncompacted trash. At that point, the LED light indicator on the front panel goes

from green to yellow, and the machine sends a wireless message to a central computer server, notifying staff that the unit is ready for collection. (See next section for more information on the wireless

monitoring and notification system.) The machines will continue to receive more trash and run automatic compaction cycles even after signaling they are ready for collection. The units can be

adjusted to provide earlier or later notice that collection is required. Eventually the machines will be

unable to compact any more trash in the inner bin, and the LED indicator will be red, notifying staff that immediate collection is required. The units will still continue to accept trash after they are full, since

there is room inside the machine above the inner bins, preventing litter until crews come to empty the machines.

Collection crews empty the compactor units much like other ornamental street receptacles: they open the front door with a key, slide out the inner plastic bin and pull the liner bag full of trash. After replacing with a new liner bag, crews slide the bin inside the machine, close the self locking door and

the unit resets to green status.

The recycling units are attached to the solar

powered compactors to facilitate separation of trash from recycling. Both units have the same overall

design and appearance for aesthetic purposes and

to help guide members of the public as they look to dispose of trash and recycling in the appropriate

receptacles. The recycling units are non compacting, and have a 50gallon inner bin. As with

the trash compactors, crews unlock the front door

to remove the inner bin.


51/86


For a more detailed description of the equipment see Appendix C: Product Specifications .

Wireless Monitoring Technology

The solar powered compactors are all equipped with the Companys wireless monitoring and notification system. The system uses text message technology to signal a web based database that

allows the viewing of machine status and fullness levels from any computer with internet access. This in turn allows managers to ensure that the trash is collected when needed but no more often than needed,

to optimize collection efficiency. Having intelligence from each trash receptacle on a collection route

enables route optimization on a real time basis. The City plans to use the historical data collected by the system to further refine their collection routes over time and realize incremental efficiencies.

Extended Warranty and Service Plan

The solar compactor project includes a four year on site service and extended warranty program

bundled in to the equipment lease, whereby the Company contracted with local minority owned service

provider Advanced Enviro Systems. This program gives the City a local service company to ensure the machines are operating properly through the financing period and for a full year afterward.

Other Benefits Associated with Compactor Deployment

The City identified a number of other tangible benefits of the solar powered compactor deployment

beyond the cost savings described above:

Reduced truck traffic avoiding 12 collection trips per week, and avoiding the second or third collection trip each day, keeps collection vehicles off the streets and thereby reduces

congestion, traffic and road wear

Reduced litter the compactors are enclosed, which decreases litter and improves the cleanliness and appearance of public spaces

Pest resistant the compactors enclosed design prevents rodents, birds and other pests from accessing the trash

Reduced C02 emissions reduced collection trips leads to reduced fuel consumption and

associated greenhouse gas emissions

Conclusion

The solar powered compactors and recycling units provide the City of Philadelphia with significant operating cost savings in the first year of the program, and substantial cumulative savings over time:

Immediate savings: By entering into a 3year financing arrangement, the City has no up front

capital cost and will realize collection cost savings in the first year of approximately $850,000;

Ongoing savings: The City will save nearly $13 million in cumulative collection cost savings over the next 10 years, net of the equipment cost;

Annual operating cost reduction of 70 percent: compaction reduces collection demand, which directly reduces operating costs and associated vehicle fuel use and emissions.

The program also supports the Citys commitment to advancing recycling and sustainability by introducing public space recycling to the City for the very first time, and by reducing waste collection

vehicle trips

by

70

percent.

With

the

system,

the

City

is

demonstrating leadership by using cutting edge technology to streamline operations and maximize efficiency. As Mayor Nutter announced at the press conference on April 30, 2009 for the solar

compactor program: Today we are proud to announce the largest deployment of solar powered trash compactors anywhere in America. This technology will save taxpayers money, introduce sidewalk

recycling and keep our streets clean. This is one more important step towards achieving our

sustainability goals.

Appendix A: City of Philadelphia Public Relations and Education Programs

1. Philly Throws Green: The City of Philadelphia has incorporated the solar compactor and recycling program into a number of

neighborhood education and public relations programs. One of

these has a dedicated website with information about the solar compactors and public space recycling efforts, called Philly Throws Green. The website is:

http://www.phillythrowsgreen.org/

One goal, many hands is the tagline for the site, which includes descriptions of how the solar compactors work, a map of locations,

and information on how the machines help:

Philadelphia will have more of these new bins than any other

American city.
