Original Abstract

The large and increasing amount of solid waste generated each year in both industrialized and developing countries, is making solid waste management one of modern society’s most relevant issues. In this context, an integrated Solid Waste Management (SWM) represents a real request and a big challenge at the same time promoting a shift from the current linear to a circular economy model. Studying an SWM system from an Operations Research point of view implies modelling it through a multi-echelon supply chain in which the following processes take place: waste generation; collection in transfer stations; separation in separation plants; treatment through incinerator and waste-to-energy plants, reclamations plants for re-use and recycling of separated raw materials; disposal by land filling or land spreading.
