Abstract. The concept of ‘Sustainability’ is increasingly used to describe a paradigm
upon which future policies must be based. In the view of a urban sustainable
development, a strategic role in the governance of the smart City is played by waste
integrated management systems (IWMS). The raising complexity of a IWMS relies
on the high number of design and management variables and relationships related to
collection, treatments and disposal phases. Waste management practices can affect
greenhouse gas emission by influencing energy consumption, methane generation,
carbon sequestration and non-energy related manufacturing emission. A decision
support system can be modelled aiming to evaluate and minimize the carbon
footprint of a IWMS. The model proposed goes beyond the existing technical and
organizational solutions outlining the different options in a much broader view
concerning both waste collection and treatments.
Keywords: Integrated Waste Management System, Sustainability, Carbon footprint,

Introduction
Industrial and societal challenges are mutual dependent and provide significant
impacts on the grand challenges of the EU 2020 strategy: reduction of 20% of GHG
emission, the achievement of 20% energy demand by renewable energy together with
an increase of 20% of energy efficiency [1]. The challenge is considerable since cities
are responsible for about 70% of the overall primary energy consumption and for as
much as 80% of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions [2]. A wide literature is
available on methods and experience to tackle urban greenhouse gas emissions [3], [4].
In the 2020 European strategies, the innovation of the city is identified as the starting
point towards the ambitious path to sustainability at regional level. Making "smart"
cities means undertake coordinated set of interventions that aim to make cities more
sustainable primarily from the point of view of energy and environment, through
choices and technologies that save energy, use of renewable energy in both the public
in the private sector. The Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) identifies the
smart cities as one of the seven priorities for investment by allocating a huge sum to
“Smart City Industrial Initiative” [5]. In the view of a urban sustainable development,
a strategic role in the governance of the City is played by integrated waste
management systems. The waste sector has experienced a decrease in emissions of
greenhouse gases rising from 204 million tons in 1990 to 133 million tonnes in 2011
[6]. Due to the rapid population growth and the rapid expanding of urbanized areas
as well as to changes in human activities and lifestyles, nowadays IWMS plays a key
role at city level. Integrated solid waste management reflects the need to approach
solid waste in a comprehensive manner with careful selection and sustained
application of appropriate technology, working conditions, and establishment a
‘social license’ between the community and designated waste management authorities.
The aim of the research project is to develop a Decision Support Systems (DSS) for
more sustainable Integrated Waste Management Systems focusing on the:
- Definition of a reference framework to support public decision-makers in designing
and planning the Integrated Waste Management Systems (IWMS).
- Definition of a Tool for optimizing and monitoring the carbon footprint of IWMS.

Study Methodology
A systematic and holistic approach is required to tackle the complexity and ensure
transparency and repeatability of decision making process. The authors propose a
Reference Framework for Planning a Municipal Waste Integrated Management
System to jointly:
design and plan the integrated waste management system;
estimate and minimize the net emission due to the entire cycle.
On the basis of the mathematical model adopted in [7] for optimizing collection
phase, a model including also the treatments phase is proposed in [9]. The dry
fractions collected are sent to the selection facilities that could have a different level
of automation. Innovative technologies are promising high performance in terms of
costs reduction, low environmental impacts and high and constant quality of waste
to be recycled. After an appropriate pretreatment, the organic fraction is usually sent
to an anaerobic digestion to recovery materials and biogas/bio-methane having
different possible utilizations. Mechanical-biological treatment is required by nonrecycled fraction before the thermal recovery. The gasification process is modelled
according to [8]. The logical structure of the problem suggests the formulation of a
Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) problem to support decision
makers in finding out the integrated waste systems with the lowest carbon-footprint.

Preliminary results and future developments
The developed framework is applied to a full case study referring to the municipality
of Bari. The model suggests the adoption of a multi stream grouping system for the
dry recycled fraction and single stream grouping system for organic and glass fraction.
Fig.1: Percentage of users served by the j-th collection system in case of optimization of (i)
only collection phase and (ii) of the whole IWMS.
As one can see in Fig.1, in case of optimization of IWMS(ii) solution obtained
privileges the DTD and Aggregate collection system for organic and dry recycled
fraction, keeping as much low as possible (see upper and lower limits in [7], [9]).For
the glass fraction the model solution suggests, in both case, the collection to be
carried out by the Proximity system meanwhile the Street system is limited at the
minimum values. Details of emission are listed in Table 2.

Conclusions
Results obtained outline that the single-stream grouping system has to be adopted for
organic and glass fraction. Differently, the model suggests the adoption of a multistream grouping system for dry recycled fraction; such a grouping system allows for a
reduction in the number of collection cycles resulting in a reduction of GHG
emissions. Collection system with higher efficiency values even though responsible of
higher collection emission reveals to be optimal choices. The reason for this lies in
the right valorization of the waste. The benefits of energy recovery and the avoided
disposal of waste fraction negative emissions) offset both the collection and
treatments emissions (positive emissions). Further research will consider the
economics aspects of the IWMS, as well as the jointly impacts of the environmental
and economic issues on the model. Furthermore, the research project will lead to a
dynamic design and plan of all the phases of the IWMS.
