The Evaluation of Municipal Waste in Counties in Poland with the Use of the Theory of Phenomena Spatial Concentration
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- The highest share of a fraction in total selective waste mass [9]. For the analysis, the authors chose only the fractions that have a large weight share of selective waste and rejected those fractions that are rarely collected or do not even appear in given counties. Due to the lack of data, the fractions were not included in the research, and the authors selected those with 99% completeness of data.
Methods for Evaluating Municipal Waste Management
2. Materials and Methods
- The level of selectively collected municipal waste in comparison with the total municipal waste.
- The level of the six fractions of selectively collected municipal waste in comparison with the total selectively collected waste.
- CC—concentration coefficient;
- xi—the percentage share of the i unit in the global value of the research phenomenon;
- yi—the percentage share of the i unit in the global value of the basic phenomenon;
- n—the number of individual units.
- Paper and cardboard (PC).
- Glass (G).
- Plastic (P).
- Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
- Bulky waste (BW).
- Biodegradable waste (B).
- Selected waste, “paper and cardboard”—PC:SWPC—the mass of selected waste PC.
- Selected waste, “glass”—G:SWG—the mass of selected waste G.
- Selected waste, “plastic”—P:SWP—the mass of selected waste P.
- Selected waste, “waste electrical and electronic equipment”—WEEE:SWWEEE—the mass of selected waste WEEE.
- Selected waste, “bulky waste”—BW:SWBW—the mass of selected waste BW.
- Selected waste, “biodegradable waste”—B:SWB—the mass of selected waste B.
