COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE RECYCLING
Abstract
The economic profitability analysis of recycling process should take into account either the minimization of costs connected with the realization of investment or maximization of the production having the costs of the production established. Nevertheless, we need to take into consideration that these costs depend on many factors. In this paper, the economic profitability of municipal waste recycling by the maximization of the production having the costs of the production established or the minimization of the costs of the production having the volume of the production established was presented. In his paper the economic cost -effectiveness of recycling we will defined by the production function of the plant responsible for processing waste into secondary material. The input data for the Model includes factors relevant to waste processed into secondary material, as well as factors for output generated products.
