This paper improves the eco-efficiency analysis methodology
for application to MSW management. Firstly, it integrats the environmental
impact and economic costs of each process, from
collection to treatment, into the entire disposal system and then it
analyzes the contribution of each process individually to determine
the eco-effective optimization measure. This approach not only
reveals the best measure for maximum overall environmental
improvement per unit investment cost, but also identifies appropriate
MSW treatment technologies. However, in the research
system scope which we defined, we excluded some factors,
including treatment technologies with variation, price fluctuation
and transportation route optimization, which could lead to some
limitations; these factors will be examined in future studies.
