| Description | The paper discusses the mathematical and economical model of municipal integrated waste management system (IWMS) that has been developed for the real needs of the decision support of the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic and regional governments. The mathematical model of IWMS is designed as an universal for different sizes of catchment areas of waste treatment plants. The model allows due to own setting of input values to make an evaluation of the various solutions of economic efficiency of the system. The main component of the paper is economic model of the IWMS functions. The model shows that in the real economic conditions of the Czech Republic, in the event of a successful application for grant support of the waste treatment plant pro-ject, can be achieved the payback period in the length of several years, depending mainly on the waste market prices, purchase of the energy from renewable sources and use of the output of waste treatment plants. |
