Source separation-driven reverse logistics in MSW management.

The article focuses on the strategy of a municipal solid waste management model in Central Brazil which is specific to household waste. It states that reverse logistics is driven by sorted-waste composition instead of raw waste composition, with the waste production rate at 45 tons per day. It uses sorted waste composition data to determine a domestic waste landfall diversion potential of 67 percent. It identifies reverse logistic capacity which isn't sufficient to remove all inert waste items.
