Development of a Standardised Methodology Tool for Waste Analyses (Solid Waste) in Order to Enhance the Precision & Comparability of Analysis Data. This project focuses on the development of a standardised methodology (guideline) for solid waste analyses.
The application of this methodology shall enhance the quality, comparability and availability of waste data. Based on this newly developed methodology waste analyses were carried out in five different cities (Newcastle, Bilbao, Brescia, Krakow, Brasov) in order to demonstrate the applicability of the methodology.
The scientific objective of the practical part is the verification and modification of the developed methodology. By means of this user-friendly methodology the user may carry out waste analyses in an efficient and simple way. This includes the definition of minimum standards for waste analyses (e.g. statistical minimum standards), which have always to be observed in order to guarantee the comparability with other analyses results.
