Waste management is a developing sector – Poland is on the way. The public´s educationand subsequent acceptance are essential elements of success of any waste management program. Further developments in these activities are necessary. This is an absolute necessity, especially with regard to the separate collection of glass and bio-waste. Inert material should be reduced at the sources by suitable measures as much as possible.
On 1 July 2011, the Polish Parliament adopted a Law on Maintaining Cleanliness and Order in Municipalities (Act). The new law came into force on 1 January 2012 and superseded previous regulations from September 1996. The new Act provides for fundamental amendments to the country’s waste management system and should change plans for the construction of waste to energy plants in Poland significantly. Solutions provided in the Act have been based on the experience of other European countries.
Waste management had previously been in the hands of private companies operating in each area. There was no planning security and no incentive to invest in state-of-the art infrastructure. The waste was mainly sent to landfill sites as it is the cheapest method of waste Management.
Now municipality should be responsible for the collection and proper management of waste.

Development of local municipal solid waste management in the Western Transdanubia region of Hungary
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
Hungarian municipal solid wastes (MSW) management has developed tremendously over the past 15 years. More than 3,000 landfills and dumps had been closed, just to mention one improvement. However, still, lots of work is necessary to accomplish the EU’s ambitious aim of decreasing landfilling and increasing recycling and composting.

Destinations for the High Calorific Fractions from Mechanical and Mechanical-Biological Treatment
© Arbeitsgemeinschaft Stoffspezifische Abfallbehandlung ASA e.V. (9/2012)
High calorific fractions have the biggest share of the solid output of modern MBT plants. Finding an application for these fractions should be already done before starting to construct an MBT plant. This can be a challenge, especially in countries or regions, where thermal treatment options are unwanted. The paper describes properties of these materials, requirements on material quality and possible destinations. In Germany, SRF is mostly used in power plants, cement works and mono incineration plants. The most critical parameters are chlorine content and calorific value.
Innovative Concepts for Highly Efficient Energy-from-Waste Plants in the Netherlands

In 2008 AE&E Lentjes GmbH received the order for the turnkey supply of the incineration unit REC Harlingen (REC=ReststoffenEnergieCentrale). In this plant the high calorific portion of pre-treated municipal solid waste is thermally treated.
Modifying MBT for Fuel Production

Compared to other treatment options for mixed municipal solid waste, the pure aerobic MBT cannot exploit the energy of the organic fraction, since it is simply biologically oxidized with the aim of inertization.
