To conduct an economic evaluation, that considers both private and social welfare
costs and benefits, of existing options for managing the biodegradable fraction of
municipal solid waste.
Although all management options (anaerobic digestion, composting, landfilling, incineration, etc.) are considered in the study, the main emphasis is on the separate collection and recycling of the biodegradable fraction of MSW. The study focuses on the Member States of the European Union and on the first wave of Accession countries, i.e. the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Estonia, Slovenia and Cyprus
