Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Waste Management
  • Public Policy

Background:

  • Landfilling is the primary waste disposal method in Israel, depleting land resources and posing environmental and health risks.
  • Effective waste management strategies are needed to mitigate these challenges and promote sustainability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the financial costs associated with municipal solid waste source separation implementation in Israel.
  • To develop a cost-assessment model for policymakers to guide funding for waste source separation programs.

Main Methods:

  • Data on operational costs for solid waste source separation systems were collected from 47 Israeli municipalities.
  • A comprehensive database was compiled, incorporating factors like equipment, infrastructure, collection, and disposal costs.
  • A cost-estimation model was developed, adaptable to specific municipal characteristics (size, region).

Main Results:

  • The study presents a user-friendly tool for assessing the costs of implementing waste source separation.
  • The developed model was successfully applied in Israel to determine eligibility for governmental grants for waste source separation initiatives.
  • The findings provide a clear framework for understanding the financial investment required for source separation.

Conclusions:

  • The cost-assessment model serves as a valuable tool for policymakers to effectively allocate funds for solid waste source separation.
  • Implementing source separation is a key strategy for reducing landfill burden and enhancing recycling efficiency in Israel.
  • The study facilitates informed decision-making to promote sustainable waste management practices nationwide.
