In the case of MBT treatment, the MSW (after source separation in households) is treated mechanically, with the aim of additionally separating recyclables and biodegradable matter. For the purpose of this analysis, described methodology is based on results of a study on the performance of MBT plant technology in Germany [2]. The following sequence of the MBT process has been selected: MSW is first sorted by a manual system (glass and other inert fractions are separated manually, the ferromagnetic metallic fraction is separated by a magnetic separator). This type of waste management system is capable of separating
