During the last two decades, EU legislation has put increasing pressure on member countries to achieve specified recycling targets for municipal household waste. These targets can be obtained in various ways choosing collection methods, separation methods, decentral or central logistic systems, etc. This paper compares municipal solid waste (MSW) management practices in various EU countries to identify the characteristics and key issues from a waste management and reverse logistics point of view. Further, we investigate literature on modelling municipal solid waste logistics in general. Comparing issues addressed in literature with the identified issues in practice result in a research agenda for modelling municipal solid waste logistics in Europe. We conclude that waste recycling is a multi-disciplinary problem that needs to be considered at different decision levels simultaneously. A holistic view and taking into account the characteristics of different waste types are necessary when modelling a reverse supply chain for MSW recycling.
在过去的二十年中，欧盟立法对成员国施加了越来越大的压力，要求它们实现城市生活垃圾的特定回收目标。这些目标可以通过选择收集方法、分离方法、分散或集中的物流系统等各种方式来实现。本文比较了欧盟各国的城市固体废物（MSW）管理实践，从废物管理和逆向物流的角度确定了其特点和关键问题。此外，我们还研究了一般的城市固体废物物流建模文献。将文献中讨论的问题与实践中确定的问题进行比较，为欧洲城市固体废物物流建模制定了研究议程。我们得出结论，废物回收是一个多学科的问题，需要在不同的决策层面上同时考虑。在对 MSW 回收的逆向供应链进行建模时，需要整体考虑并考虑不同废物类型的特点。
