Deponeringskapacitet i Danmark 3 Summary and conclusionsOverall there is sufficient capacity to the waste amounts that are projected for landfilling in Denmark, but this overall picture covers different regional circumstances and differences in capacity for the four classes of waste for landfilling through the two periods examined (2009 - 2012 and 2013 - 2020).
Table 3-1 Capacity at publicly accessible landfill facilities and capacity at special disposal sites for own waste, and projected amounts of waste for landfilling for the entire country, 2009 - 2012. Unit: Tonnes[²]
Table 3-2 Capacity at publicly accessible landfill facilities and capacity at special disposal sites for own waste and projected amounts of waste for landfilling for the entire country, 2013 - 2020. Unit: Tonnes Inert waste On the present basis it has not been possible to calculate and project the amounts of waste for inert waste, since inert waste cannot be separated from the grouping that is used in the FRIDA model. In the present examination it has consequently not been possible to compare the available landfill capacity with the projected amounts of waste, and consequently the landfill capacity is listed as un-utilised in Tabel 2-2, above. Inert waste and mineral waste have many characteristics in common. If it turns out that parts of the mineral waste can live up to the requirements for inert waste it can be landfilled as such. Further, there is the possibility that in the future some facilities can be re-classified from inert waste to mineral waste. Mineral waste Mineral waste is the fraction of which the largest amounts are landfilled. This is due, in large part, to the significant amounts of soil and rock for tax-exempt landfilling. The Capital Region of Denmark, the Region of Southern Denmark and the Central Denmark Region will experience capacity shortages in the period leading up to 2012, while it appears that the Region of Southern Denmark is the only region which will experience capacity shortages in the subsequent period. Another circumstance to be considered regarding the capacity for mineral waste is that a significant proportion of the capacity is laid out for facilities without public access - special disposal sites for own waste. This means that in reality the available capacity is less than what is assumed in Tabel 2-1 and Tabel 2-2, since a part of the capacity is only available for a specific waste producer. Mixed waste On the national level there is plenty capacity for mixed waste. In the Capital Region of Denmark there is, however, a shortage of capacity for mixed waste at the end of the period leading up to 2012, and as no significant further capacity expansion is expected there will also be capacity shortages for the period 2013 – 2020. The capacity of the North Denmark Region will be almost filled in the period leading up to 2012, but there the capacity is expected to be expanded considerably in the subsequent period, 2013 - 2020. Hazardous waste All regions with the exception of the North Denmark Region will experience capacity shortages for the waste class hazardous waste. The Sealand Region is already experiencing shortages, and shredder waste is consequently being transported from that region to the Capital Region of Denmark. [2] It should be noted that the waste tax will be changed on 1 January 2010, and that consequently there will be waste fractions which in the future will change treatment form from tax exempt landfilling to landfilling. In addition, new legislation is being planned which will impact, among other things, the recycling of slightly contaminated soil.
