Original Abstract

Current trends in European waste management (WM) focus on technologies and methods that comply with preferred procedures of waste treatment hierarchy. Currently, European Commission adopted a new set of measures in Circular Economy Action Plan. Therefore the need for analysis and subsequent evaluation of claims and options of different systems for the collection of municipal waste usable components is motivating. Typical transportation chains are identified for Czech municipal waste management. The separate municipal waste is transported by garbage trucks to a sorting line for secondary raw materials production. This paper describes the potential of separate collection dry recyclables (plastics, paper, glass and potentially metals) into one container. The comparison with standard collection system is mentioned (separate containers for individual fractions). The main objective of this article is to compare the costs of material recoverable municipal waste collection, treatment and transport to final processing in conditions of Czech waste management.
