Abstract

Today when the amount of waste increases and its fractions vary, establishing the integrated waste management system based on recycling, reuse and re-circulation technologies in terms of stabilization, minimization and recycling of waste is a crucial issue to properly solve in the environmental protection in the case study city (Pyongyang), as urban poplluation, production and consumption increase. Therefore this paper conducted the analysis for the amount of waste generation per fraction, its trend and treatment in the case study city, which is one of the primary issue to rationally improve solid waste management and successfully perform strategic waste management planning. Based on the analysis for disposals of solid waste generated in the case city, 50.2% of total amount of waste is recycled and reused, 0.3% is incinerated and 49.5% is landfilled. Percentage of recycling and reuse of industrial waste is high with 76.3%, but for household waste is low with 26.5%.
