This project aimed to develop a tool to define the best solutions for waste management that includes several components. To this end, a database of waste management technologies was developed that includes technical, environmental and economic information, which will allow waste managers to compare technologies transparently, and an optimization algorithm was developed for waste management systems that takes into account the entire management chain, considering legal, environmental and economic constraints. As part of this project, a system was also developed to enable the implementation of Pay As You Throw (PAYT) systems based on blockchain technology, which allows “recycling credits” to be established.
