Waste compositions, i.e. the relative distribution of material fractions in the waste, from Tønder [4] and
Rendsburg-Eckernförde [5] were available from previously waste sampling campaigns. The household
waste from the three municipalities of Aabenraa, Sønderborg and Haderslev were sampled to determine
(amongst other parameters) the content of organic waste [3]. The remaining waste compositions from
Sleswig-Flensburg and Flensburg were assumed to be similar to the waste composition in RendsburgEckernförde.
The chemical composition of the waste fractions was taken from Riber & Christensen [6].
