To support the (a) reconstruction/rehabilitation in Banda Aceh through developing
partnerships for the application of environmentally sound technologies (ESTs)
to the treatment/reuse/recycle of debris waste generated by the Indian Ocean
Tsunami, and (b) subsequently the construction/ demolition waste generated
on a day-to-day basis. EU-Asia Pro Eco II B - Post-Tsunami Programme 2005
- To develop a waste management mechanism for handling, treatment, reuse
and recycling of tsunami generated debris, which can subsequently be applied
to day-to-day construction/demolition wastes.
-
To identify and demonstrate ESTs for debris management, particularly reuse/recycle technologies -
including the installation of vital equipment for converting debris waste into useable aggregate
for construction of buildings and infrastructure.
-
To build capacity of local government officials in debris handling and processing,
technology assessment methodologies, reuse/recycling and related issues using experiences
and technologies from Europe, so as to ensure sustained application of ESTs
in waste management not only in the post tsunami programmes,
but for everyday municipal wastes and future disasters as well.
-
To develop a package of economic instruments to ensure long-term viability of ESTs,
including the development of appropriate tax structures and subsidies
to promote the use of aggregates generated from the waste processing,
in consultation with national and local governments.
-
To disseminate knowledge and experiences gained to other affected countries in Asia.
