Evaluation of Reception Facilities for Ship-generated Waste
نویسنده
چکیده
Waste management plans usually address all types of ship-generated waste and cargo residues originating from ships calling at ports. Well developed waste management plan is a serious step towards reduction of the environmental impact of ship-generated waste. Such important and at the same time complex considerations can be supported by application of modern mathematical theories. Evaluation of waste management plans based on application of grey theory is presented in this work. Keywords—Waste management, grey theory, assessments

This paper shows that for 24 out of 25 solid waste materials, recycling saves more energy than is generated by incinerating mixed solid waste in an energy-from-waste facility. Recycling conserves energy that would otherwise be expended extracting virgin raw materials from the natural environment and transforming them to produce goods that can also be manufactured from recycled waste materials. ...
