Abstract

An intensive growth of population, progressing processes of social and economic development and increasing urbanisation of fast-developing countries considerably contribute to the increase in the amount of the waste produced. This necessitates reasonable decisions to be made within waste man-agement in urban areas. Therefore, a clear increase in the interest in matters as-sociated with the selection of relevant strategies for planning the waste man-agement process has been noticeable in recent years. One of the global aims is to develop appropriate waste recycling strategies. Solving problems associated with the selection of an appropriate strategy for waste management, planning collection processes, sorting and recovery, designing infrastructures for waste treatment and monitoring of such processes often requires that a model-based approach should be applied. The main objective of this paper is to present a simulation model that aids the decision-making process as regards the planning of sorting processes for the selectively collected municipal waste at the Recy-cling Centre in WPO ALBA S.A.
