Sažetak
A successful example of sustainable waste management applicable to towns or regions with more than two hundred thousand inhabitants is discussed. Modern landfill with composting facility, mechanical biological treatment and energy utilization of waste in the town of Celje, Slovenia, covering the needs of 24 surrounding municipalities, is described in details. The advantages, but also some difficulties that were indicated during the operation of the system are shown. Applied processing technology significantly reduces waste, extracts secondary raw materials and uses waste as an energy source, so achieving a sustainable system for a number of years.
