Abstract

Presented paper Model of cost and price relationships for municipal waste management of the Czech Republic introduces an integrated waste management model of the Czech Republic which was developed as a balanced network model for a set of sources (mostly municipalities) of municipal solid waste (MSW) connected with a set of chosen waste treatment facilities processing their waste. Model is implemented as a combination of four models including environmental and economic point of view. It enables to formulate the optimisation problem in a concise way and the resulting model is easily scalable. It can be used for waste management planning as a decision support tool. In this case, aggregated emissions of greenhouse gases expressed as CO2 equivalent have been minimised. Model involves composting energy utilization, material recycling, and landfilling. Its size (number of sources and facilities) depends only upon available data. Its application was used as a decision support tool in the case study of optimizing the planning allocation of potential facilities of waste management of the Czech Republic.
