The industrial waste is transferred from the discharge site to its final disposal site after being recovered, reduced in volume and rendered harmless by intermediate treatment. It is useful to understand the actual situation of this distribution, analyze the factors that cause it, and show the structure of the industrial waste market to predict the demand of the waste disposer, to select an economical disposal site for the generator, and to monitor the inappropriate disposal for the government. We have been developing the flow data linking the logistics of industrial waste generated from each discharge site to the intermediate treatment, final disposal or recycle site by using the information in the administrative reports submitted by the dischargers and the disposers to the authorities. In this article, we report on the results of the analysis of the factors that cause logistics by adding treatment fee data to the database developed in a municipality, drawing the geographical flow of materials, that is, the logistics of industrial waste.
