Abstract

Ocena cyklu życia w gospodarce odpadami komunalnymi Kluczowym elementem wszystkich systemów gospodarki odpadami, który warunkuje dalsze zagospodarowanie odpadów jest etap zbiórki, transportu i segregacji tychże odpadów. Istnieje szerokie spektrum możliwości realizacji tego zadania - począwszy od selektywnej zbiórki u źródła i bardzo ograniczonego dalszego sortowania (uzdatniania) a skończywszy na zbiórce odpadów w formie zmieszanej, które następnie poddawane są kompleksowemu sortowaniu i doczyszczaniu. Mając na uwadze fakt, iż każde z alternatywnych rozwiązań systemu zbiórki - transportu - sortowania odpadów komunalnych wymaga odmiennego podejścia, przy ocenie najbardziej zrównoważonego rozwiązania wiele czynników musi być brane pod uwagę. By pomóc praktykom (na przykład władzom lokalnym) w tym trudnym zadaniu, autorzy niniejszego artykułu określili środowiskowe, ekonomiczne i społeczne kryteria, które powinny być brane pod uwagę podczas projektowania zintegrowanych systemów gospodarki odpadami. Należy wśród nich wymienić efektywność środowiskową (w tym ochronę zasobów naturalnych i zapobieganie zanieczyszczeniom), przystępność ekonomiczną oraz akceptowalność społeczną. Artykuł prezentuje wybrane wyniki badań autorów poświęcone „Zastosowaniu oceny cyklu życia w zintegrowanej gospodarce odpadami komunalnymi” finansowane przez DAAD (Niemiecka Centrala Wymiany Akademickiej).
