Stockholm is very prominent in regulations and policies in waste
management systems. One of the most important waste management
policies is the ban on putting combustible waste and organic
waste in landfill (Avfall Sverige, 2008). A total of 4,06,596 tonnes of
waste was generated in Stockholm in 2008e2009, which was
around 480 kg per person per year (Stypka, 2007; Avfall Sverige,
2011). Fig. 5(a) shows the composition of MSW in Stockholm and
