One of the main objectives of Municipal Waste Planning and Management in Europe is to integrate the environmental impacts into the process of developing or revising waste management plans, taking into account economic and technological availability constraints.The complex interplay between these conflicting objectives hinders the determination of an optimal Municipal Solid Waste management scheme for municipalities and other competent authorities. The tool was developed for the purpose of supporting the involved actors in waste management planning in Balkan countries under a set of social, technical, environmental,economical and legislative constraints and thus, determining the most effectivewaste management system for the target area. Most of the Balkan regions lack experience, data availability and infrastructure due to the absence of a waste management strategic and/or monitoring plan. Thus, it was important to be able to overcome these constraints by incorporating default—country specific values, identified through bibliography and the experience of waste management plans in various Balkan regions. The present work describes the structure of the tool and presents the results from the applications of the tool for the region of Attiki and the island of Crete, Greece.
