Abstract
This study deals with quantitative analyses of environmental loads resulting from utilization or disposal of the incineration ash from MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) . Recycling of waste plastics collected separately from households is also evaluated. The study proves that ash utilization, as a raw material of cement production after chlorine removal with the“ash-rinsing technology”, is a highly effective for preventing means to global warming and prolonging the lifetime of landfill sites. The latest cement production process also enables effective utilization of waste plastics as an alternative fuel, thereby effectively preventing global warming and also preserving natural energy sources.
