Generating of almost 20,000,000 tons of solid waste annually (600-700 g/day per Capita) where only 5% of the waste is recycled, only 2% of the remaining waste is landfilled hygienically, the rest is buried without any change, creates high potential on investing in Waste Management fields. 60 Million tons/year of Construction Waste, 50,000 tons/year of Greenhouse Gases, and 10,000,000m3 of Leachate from landfills shows the importance of a sustainable solution of waste management field in Iran.
This is, however, 87% of cities use mechanized and semi-mechanized waste collection system with the cost of 28-43 US$/Ton, we still lacking a more reasonable system to be run off on lower and more efficient costs!
