DOI 10.30638/eemj.2016.055
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The present paper discusses the current situation in the municipal solid management existing in the North-East region of Romania.Furthermore, a Decision Support Tool is implemented in order to compare viable alternative waste management scenarios.The most recent data on the available current infrastructure and the amount of the generated waste have been used so as to determine the baseline status, while the results from the onsite waste analysis were also used as input data.To verify several combinations of technologies, in total five different scenarios were defined at regional level: four hypothetical options and one corresponding to the solution already recommended by the current County Master Plans.
