Abstract
This research has looked into the transport process of plastic waste generated from domestic and industrial waste within the region and in order to modify the problem that may occurred during the mass balance were analyzed for development of suitable solid waste recycling network regionally. As result, quite amount of plastic is being transferred to another region, even though a treatment facility`s capacity could bear the total amount of waste generated within the area. Although plastic waste could be treated locally, it is analyzed that amount of waste are being transferred due to inefficient and irrational processing system between regions. It is assumed that CO2 generated and loss of unnecessary fuel cost from these inefficient system is quite a lot and in order to modify this disorganized system, the plastic waste should be treated based on the characteristics of each regions. Also, the waste recycling system should be studied with the efficient, environmental friendly processing and delivering network by minimized transfer distance and local systemizing the waste treatment system.
