The MBT (Mechanical Biological Treatment) systems that separate raw kitchen waste from other forms of municipal waste provide smaller local governments in Japan with a viable means of converting waste into energy. In order to promote MBT systems, it is important to quantify the benefits that they can provide. To quantify the benefits of MBT systems, we need to test, measure and analyze a range of operating criteria in the context of a small-scale local government setting. The results will then inform future planning of waste treatment facilities.
