Abstract
Circular economy, from sustainability point of view, seeks to design replicable models for the recycling and reuse of waste, to avoid loss of resources. In agricultural sector, a model for crop waste collection could lead to reaching a superior level of efficiency of natural resources management. Rapid economic growth has led to an increase in agricultural waste quantities in Albanian regions (Tirana, Durrës, Elbasan, Berat, Shkodra and Vlorë), necessitating an integrated approach to crop wastes (corn stalks, sugarcane bagasse, drops and culls from fruits and vegetables, prunings), rather than establishing a separate management system for each type of waste. The present study aims to evaluate the management of crop waste policy and to design a model for estimation of the recycling and collection rate evolution as crop waste management indicators. To perform this analysis, a mathematical algorithm was used to estimate a confidence interval for the recycling rate, which, if exceeded, will negatively affect crop waste production growth. This model will be further developed for creating estimation on Romanian reality, to evaluate a possible future scenario for waste management from agricultural production.
