231 Analysis of the present system of municipal waste treatment including the containers and packaging recycling and the effect assessment in the case of introducing a melting technique (1) : Assessment of Japan-wide system

Abstract

About the present Japan-wide municipal waste treatment system including the containers and packaging recycling, the flow of the waste, the construction and maintaining cost and the CO_2 emissions were evaluated by combining the official announcement data of the public organization in the Ministry of the Environment and so on. Furthermore, as for the waste plastic thermal recovery system as well, in which the incineration residue was melted using waste plastic as fuel, similar evaluation was made, and the comparison with the present system was done about the cost, the CO_2 emissions and the amount of final disposal.
