It must be stated that economic factors, which were not discussed in this paper, are also equally or even more important in the selection of appropriate waste management options. By utilizing results presented in this article, each of the scenarios and alternatives must be assessed from the economics perspective in order to establish a monetary mechanism of waste management. Moreover, the scenarios of entire waste management systems should be analyzed from the lifecycle standpoint, accounting for benefits and burdens from all steps of the waste management process.
The calculations also revealed that the requirement of incineration of only MBT processed waste, set in the Lithuanian National Strategic Waste Management Plan, poorly satisfies the needs of the city heating network. This suggests that the national strategy should be reviewed with the aim of loosening requirements for mass burning of waste.
