Territorial limit of MSWM

• Best solution the co-operation between
  Municipalities (OTAs) of one or more Prefectures
  jointly working in order to solve the problem of
  their waste management using and applying methods
  of sanitary land-filling or other appropriate
  techniques. In this way, the cost will be reduced
  in lower levels.
• Based on A) The principles of the National Waste
  Management Plans
• B) The in progress investments in relation
  with the MSWM

Temporal time limit of MSWM optimization action

• Short to mid term actions. This because it will
  be more useful for us to learn about
• ? the existing technology,
• ? the successful applied methods of municipal
  solid waste management and finally,
• ? obtain the know-how and experience in relation

MSW Supply chain

• MSW Supply chain is based on the
  classical/restricted Supply chain (primary
  level).
• We want to include and study the methods use of
  the life cycle of waste as well as the
