The purpose of the study is to determine the environmental and economic balance between the collection of wastes and their transport to a centralized recycling plant versus the displacement of a recycling plant near the waste source locations. Two systems are compared in this study with economic and environmental Life Cycle Analysis (LCC and LCA) tools. On the one hand, the study demonstrates environmental benefits for transportable recycling plant in comparison with waste collection. On the other hand, the results show the economic advantages of such solution. Transportable recycling solutions seem to be a good answer to solve waste logistic issues, both from an economic and an environmental point of view.
