In order to compare MSW laboratory analysis data with respective data from other regions of Greece, the Municipalities of Chania, Kos and Pylaia (Fig. 1) are used. The first two municipalities perform in similar way with the region studied, regarding the activities of MSW production, as they are mainly tourist attractive regions. The comparison with the Municipality of Pylaia is useful to test whether different activities and consumption patterns and habits are the cause of differences in MSW composition.
