| Abstract | In the last decade, the approach to waste management has undergone severe changes. The urgent need to face the sustainable demand for energy and materials while limiting the burdens associated to traditional waste handling practices have figured out the concept of waste as a resource. New strategies boosting the extensive recovery and diverting waste from disposal activities have been promoted and framed in the wider context of the urban mining, promoting the full exploitation of waste as resource for either new materials or energy production. Such approach has been recently proposed to handle over 5 million tons of pretreated municipal solid waste produced and stored in the form of bales in Campania Region, in southern Italy, between 2000 and 2009. However, since the feasibility of this approach is related to the waste composition as well as to the selection process, an experimental study was performed at an industrial mechanical treatment plant to assess the potential for valorisation of this waste. Results showed that the overall sustainability of the urban mining strategies for the management of Campania waste bales is tightly linked to the flexibility of the selection process scheme to be adopted, which should make the waste recovery fit the market demand of either material or energy. |
