| Description | The paper is devoted to environmental economic modelling of the strategic development in Municipal Solid Waste Management Systems at the Czech Republic. The model was developed based on given input macroeconomic variables and it enables to simulate the development of variant waste landfill fees and the inclusion or exclusion of certain equipment in preparation for energy recovery or mechanical-biological treatment of waste in selected locations and the prescribed annual capacity. It uses data from annual reports of munici-palities (if available) on the production of municipal solid waste and estimates its quantity (if unavailable) by using a sophisticated model, including demographic and socio-economic impacts. The paper gives a short description of the model and its outputs in relation to change economy of Municipal Solid Waste Management Systems at the Czech Republic in accordance with the implementation of the European Waste Framework Directive into Czech legislation. |
