SWPlan™ Methodology

SWPlan™ uses a straight-forward methodolgy to organize, define, design and present solid waste management information. The following is a breif listing of some of the considerations.

• Define Job, Population, Employment and Density
• Determine Waste Composition and Amounts
• Define Collection Types and Costs, Waste Sources
• Define Waste Management Approaches and Associated Variables/Considerations
• Define Transportation Distances
• Identify Revenues and Costs
• Present results in easy to read and to evaluate reports

SWPlan™ keeps track of all transportation costs no matter how complex the integrated solid waste management. Default values are provided to ensure that Users with limited available data can complete the task of designing their own management system with reasonable and appropriate assumptions that reflect the current industry standards and known real-world impacts and costs. In order to accomplish this, SWPlan™ employs Recycling Insights™ proprietary algorithms in determining facility cost in relationship to capacity throughput and nationally recognized figures based on real-world weighted averages. In most cases, the User can override default values with their own information.

All this is accomplished with easy to understand interactive dialog boxes. With every change you make, the reports change instantly as well, because of the performance of the Recycling Insights™ proprietary graphics. You can see the impacts right away! And with multiple data files and report Windows™ you can compare the results as you construct waste management scenarios or compare waste generation areas.

Many governments, consultants, academic institutions and waste hauling/recycling firms are using SWPlan™
