Abstract
In developing country in Asia, since the amount of waste generation has been increasing, adequate countermeasures of waste management are required. However, actual quantity of the waste generation and recycling which should be basic data for making the countermeasure has not been measured in many countries. In this study, we propose a method to estimate unknown quantity of waste generation and recycling using a limited number of reported waste data, various industrial statistic, and the input and output balance of the specified material of recyclable. This method was applied to estimate the waste generation and recycling of Asian country, and the results were analyzed and discussed.
