INDICATORS FOR VALORISATION OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE AND SPECIAL WASTE
Indicators and indices (aggregate indicators) are important tools that assist decision-makers in formulating and implementing plans for management of waste at local, national and international levels. An indicator is an elementary datum or a simple combination of data capable of measuring an observed phenomenon. Indicators are there to enhance the communication about the environment and to serve as a tool for policy-making. Indicators can be used to track progress over time, or compare characteristics between one or more communities, companies, agencies, departments, products or process. By examining these indicators over time or between different regions, communities, etc., identification of improvements or setbacks in resource use and waste generation can be tracked. Also, they can be used to illustrate the shift in industrial strategy away from end-of-pipe processes towards waste recycling, cleaner production and integrated lifecycle analysis. In this work two sets of different indicators needed to support the environmental information about waste valorisation at a regional level has been developed. Indicators of reusing and recycling and energetic valorisation related to the different kind of management of waste are presented. The first set of indicators evaluates the valorisation of different components of Municipal Solid Waste: Recycling of Glass Packaging; Recycling of Paper and Cardboard; Valorisation of Light Packaging and: Energy Produced from Municipal Solid Waste. The second one evaluates the valorisation of different kind of Special Waste with other kind of treatments applied to this Special Waste: Treatment of Construction and Demolition Waste, C&DW; Used Tyres Management; Production and destination of Municipal Wastewater Sewage Sludge, MWSS; and Collection and management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, WEEE.
