The waste framework Directive 2008/98 of the European Parliament states that a recycling at least equal to 50% has to be the target for the primary flows, i.e. those related to materials such as paper, glass, plastic and metals. Collection systems play a crucial role, affecting the volume of recyclable materials and the consequent possibility of recovery and reuse. In this context, the aim of the work consists in identifying the most profitable collection system in terms of efficiency and environmental impact. This is done via life cycle analysis by comparing diverse strategies in the area of Bologna (Italy).

Abstract
The waste framework Directive 2008/98 of the European Parliament states that a recycling at least equal to 50% has to be the target for the primary flows, i.e. those related to materials such as paper, glass, plastic and metals. Collection systems play a crucial role, affecting the volume of recyclable materials and the consequent possibility of recovery and reuse. In this context, the aim of the work consists in identifying the most profitable collection system in terms of efficiency and environmental impact. This is done via life cycle analysis by comparing diverse strategies in the area of Bologna (Italy).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
