The generation of municipal waste is inextricably linked to human functioning. In Poland since 1 July 2011, as a result of legislative changes, the approach to municipal waste has changed. Since then, municipalities have been the owners of waste and are responsible for achieving the appropriate levels of indicators imposed by European legislation. These changes necessitate the need for solutions that will teach residents of individual municipalities to segregate waste and the use of specific discipline imposed observance of the waste collection schedules. Different municipalities use different methods of educating residents to separate waste. In most cases, the greatest emphasis is placed on school age education. The knowledge passed on to children is also addressed to adults. The article presents examples of the use of eco-education used in the management of waste management systems in Poland.

“…1. Thermal waste treatment -consisting in the use of technologies that mainly involve combustion or pyrolysis, leading to a reduction in the amount of waste deposited, and recovery heat or electricity from the waste (Jurczyk, Koc-Jurczyk, 2017;Lapčík, 2013;Levidow, Upham, 2017;Łapińska, 2014).…”

The basic services used in the field of municipal waste management systems are the collection and management of waste. Under these two basic services it is possible to use a series of innovates and so that the entire system from the point of view of the resident functioned in a smooth and at the same time not generate nuisance. They are introduced, among others, mobile applications, informing residents about the date of exportation of waste by specific factions. Increasingly, residents are also able to make declarations and corrections via the Internet. From the point of view of the community is also important is the use of innovative solutions in order to verify the type of waste and place of their creation. For this purpose, GPS and RFID are used. It is also very important to use innovations in waste management facilities themselves. Such solutions allow to reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment, as well as reduce the nuisance for the inhabitants, due to the reduction of the odor.

“…However, the incinerator had the biggest proportion of irreversibility due to the high temperature. Some studies have worked on similar systems; such as: the conversion of heat to energy by urban environmental sources [33], the economic and environmental review of WTE systems for MSW [34], the energy potential of MSW [35], the economic, energy and environmental analyses for MSW [36] and the exergy life cycle assessment of the WTE power plant [37]. In the study of mass burner incinerator, the exergy and energy terms of the WTE power plant in Tehran-Iran have been calculated.…”

Exergy-Economic-Environment Optimization of the Waste-to-Energy Power Plant Using Multi-Objective Particle-Swarm Optimization (MOPSO)

This paper brings together the benefits of the results of exergy, exergoeconomic, exergoenvironmental analysis, and optimization for a waste-to-energy power plant. Initially, exergoeconomic balances for each stream were calculated. For validating the current simulations, the actual data of the Amsterdam waste-to-energy power plant in working conditions were examined. Moreover, the behaviors of the influential parameters on the objective functions were evaluated. In order to perform multi-objective optimization, the Multi-Objective Particle-Swarm Optimization algorithm is implemented. To obtain optimum operating conditions, 14 design parameters, and 3 objective functions are considered, while the total cost rate, total exergy efficiency of the cycle, and environmental impacts are the objective functions. Finally, the TOPSIS decision-making method determined optimum-operating conditions. The results of exergy analysis indicated that the most exergy destruction belonged to the incinerator unit at 66%. Instead, the pumps contributed the least in this field, (approximately 1%). Because of the optimization process, the total exergy efficiency of the power plant increased from 30.89% to 38.9% while the total cost rate was 5188.05 USD/hour. By comparison between the obtained results from the optimization procedure, introducing optimum working condition has caused an increase in exergy efficiency and reduced exergy destruction for components.
