Percentage of waste generated by the Port Authority that is segregated and recovered (A_22)
The Huelva Port Authority controls the volume of waste generated in its facilities, calculating the amount that goes to a recovery process.
The percentage of waste produced by the Port Authority that underwent a separate collection process and was subsequently recovered in 2023 was:
| Type of waste | Separate Collection (mt waste separated/mt total waste generated) *100 | Revaluation (mt waste recovered/mt total waste generated)*100 |
|---|---|---|
| USW | 100% | 20.35% |
| Hazardous Waste | 0% | 0% |
| Oils | 0% | 0% |
The volume of waste related to the cleaning service during the year 2023 is classified as follows:
| Type of waste | Total quantity collected during the year in mt | Percentage of total collected | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inert | 26,094.44 | 96.10 | ||
| Non-hazardous | 27,153.97 | 100 | ||
| Hazardous | 0 | 0 |
Activities or sources of waste generation within the port (A_23)
Within the Service Area there are different sources of generation of waste assimilable to urban, inert or hazardous waste, and depending on the volume of waste generated, the following sources should be noted, in order of relevance:
| Type of source or activity | Order of importance |
|---|---|
| MARPOL waste delivery | 1 |
| Concession activities generated by concessions | 2 |
| Cargo and stowage waste (discarded cargo, packaging, etc.) | 3 |
| Cleaning of docks, roads and common areas | 4 |
| Remains of sweepings from the movement of solid bulk solids. | 5 |
| Fisheries (packaging, nets, fish waste, etc.) | 6 |
| Works | 7 |
| Machinery maintenance | 8 |
| Cleaning of septic tanks | 9 |
| Cleaning of the water surface (floating solids) | 10 |
| Clean-up of accidental spills | 11 |
| Bars, leisure and retail activity in service area | 12 |
| Other activities |
Measures for the improvement of waste management (A_24)
The measures promoted by the Port Authority to improve waste management in the Port Community include the following notable features:
- Existence of clean points with separate waste collection. These clean points are intended for the collection of the following waste:
- The Port Authority’s own waste, generated in offices and buildings of the HPA.
- Waste from ships (MARPOL), managed by an authorised manager contracted by the Huelva Port Authority.
- Waste transfer centre contracted out to an authorised manager contracted by the stevedoring companies.
- Compliance with internal rules.
- Penalties in case of abandonment of waste in unauthorised places.
- Periodic monitoring of concessions and port service providers to verify compliance with the administrative requirements established by the law on waste through the audits of bonuses in environmental matters in which the Port Authority is present, as well as in the daily environmental surveillance carried out by the Environmental Police and all the facilities in the service area.
- Good practice agreements.
Management of dredged material (A_25)
The dredging carried out so far corresponds to the maintenance dredging of the drafts of the Huelva Port, the environmental monitoring of which is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Impact Statement of February 2018. Among the areas of control both during the execution of the dredging and the dumping in the enclosure or in the marine dump are: the quality of the water, sediment, control of marine biota, control of protected areas, control of noise and emissions from the dredger, etc. This dredging campaign ended in 2022, so no maintenance dredging was carried out in 2023.
The volumes and characteristics are listed below:
m3| % of total |
| |
|---|---|---|
| Total volume of dredged material | 0 | 0 |
| Volume of Category A material | 0 | 0 |
| Volume of Category B material | 0 | 0 |
| Volume of Category C material | 0 | 0 |
| Volume of material classified as waste | 0 | 0 |
