Using ANN model to determine future waste characteristics in order to achieve specific waste management targets -case study of Serbia

Abstract

This study presents a waste management model using artificial neural networks to predict future waste quantity and composition in Serbia. Since Serbia represent transition country, and in process of joining EU, for decision makers in the field of waste management, obtained information will be of great importance to develop appropriate waste management system and to achieve specific targets of waste management according national and EU Directives by 2026.
