Modelling national solid waste management

摘要

The MWS model(MMES/Waste for Sweden)is a systems engineering model for strategic planning of national solid waste management systems. It was developed for Sweden, but the general approach can be applied to other counties as well. The MWS model integrates cost minimization and emissions accounting and is intended for evaluating, from economic and environmental points of view, waste treatment technologies and waste management policies. The potential users of the model are, e.g. government Agencies, companies, trade associations and funding Authorities.
