INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT MODEL AS A TOOL OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The author applied the first version of the Integrated Municipal Waste (IMW-1) model developed by White P.R., Franke M., and Hindle P., to analyze the present and the planned waste management systems in the two towns: Krakow, Poland and Stockholm, Sweden. To help in the decision process the integration of the model results is proposed. The aggregation is based on the modified Polish emission fees. As a result of this integration the environmental impacts on water and on air are presented in monetary units and are comparable with the economic cost. Such integration allows the simple comparison of the Krakow and Stockholm systems, which is presented.
