The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel approach which supports facility planning in the field of waste management. Only 23 % of municipal solid waste (MSW) was thermally treated in the EU 27 in 2011. Increased exploitation of its potential for energy recovery must be accompanied by massive investments into highly-efficient and reliable incineration technologies. Therefore, the challenge is to be efficient and optimal at the same time. Even feasibility studies of every intended plant providing its service for a region creates a complex task. The gate fee (charge for waste processing in the facility) represents one of the most crucial input parameters for the assessment. The gate fee is driven by technology solution, competition, market development, environmental taxation and costs of waste transport to fill the plant capacity. Valid prediction of the gate fee thus presents a demanding task. In this paper, first, an advanced tool called NERUDA which addresses logistic optimization is introduced. The key idea is to focus on the problem of competition modelling among waste-to-energy plants, landfill sites, and mechanical-biological treatment plants producing refuse-derived fuel. Then, the main theoretical concepts are discussed and followed by the development of a suitable mathematical model. The goal is to obtain a minimized cost of MSW treatment for the waste producers (municipalities). The application of the developed tool is demonstrated through a case study, where uncertain parameters entering the calculation are handled by repetitive Monte Carlo simulation based on real-world data.
