Investigation of Regional Differences in the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste in Hungary

Municipal solid waste management is crucial in terms of the environment, sustainability and circular economy. The directly landfilled organic fraction municipal (OFMSW) offers a lot potential with regard to energy recovery or as soil substrate. In this study, regional differences Hungary according various living structures conditions (villages urban areas) were demonstrated provide foundation for further usage treatment. fact that biological (leaves, kitchen fine soil-like material) OFMSW from typically areas like examined city Pécs larger than rural area, e.g. Marcali District, was highlighted. On other hand, contains more hazardous materials such medicinal ampoules due lack possibilities dispose them suitably. After evaluating composition OFMSW, quantity MSW could be reduced. conclusion, high proportions plastic paper well its promising heating value, largest particle size (>4 cm) utilized refuse-derived fuel (RDF) finer, material-rich substitute following purification.
