Title: | Assessment of plastic flows and stocks in Serbia using material flow analysis | Authors: | Vujić, Goran Jovičić N. Babić, Mladen Stanisavljević, Nemanja Batinić B. Pavlović A. |
Issue Date: | 1-Dec-2010 | Journal: | Thermal Science | Abstract: | Material flow analysis was used to assess the amounts of plastic materials flows and stocks that are annually produced, consumed, imported, exported, collected, recycled, and disposed in the landfills in Serbia. The analysis revealed that approximately 269,000 tons of plastic materials are directly disposed in uncontrolled landfills in Serbia without any pretreatment, and that significant amounts of these materials have already accumulated in the landfills. The substantial amounts of land-filled plastics represent not only a loss of valuable recourses, but also pose a serious treat to the environment and human health, and if the trend of direct plastic land-filling is continued, Serbia will face with grave consequences. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/12602 | ISSN: | 3549836 | DOI: | 10.2298/TSCI100621031V |
