Reverse logistics – optimization of flows in the system of waste management

Summary/Abstract: The paper concerns the problem of functioning of municipal waste management systems implemented after the entry into force of the Act of 1 July 2011, amending the law on maintaining cleanliness and order in municipalities. The article presents approximate changes in municipal waste management which were necessary to implement from the perspective of the new responsibilities of municipalities. The paper discusses the assumptions used at the Voivodeship Waste Management Plan for the Lower Silesian Voivodship in 2012 and makes an attempt to verify the assumptions adopted. Then it analyzes the possibility of implementing the proposed solution using linear programming methods. Finally, the paper presents the findings of the proposed optimization model with respect to future research in the discussed issue.
