BIO-MECHANICAL TREATMENT PLANTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FROM INDUCED TRAFFIC

In the frame of municipal solid waste management, one of the aspects to be taken into account for comparative analyses is the role of traffic for waste transportation. To this concern the waste pre-treatment could change the environmental and cost balances compared with the conventional scenario based on burning on …

MECHANICAL BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT AND SELECTIVE COLLECTION OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE: WHICH INTERACTIONS?

Bio-mechanical treatments are extensively used for municipal solid waste management. One of the problems that can be found in this sector can be related to the change of the MSW characteristics during the lifetime of the plant. This problem is only partially related to the dynamics of composition of the …
