Logistics-based design of collection system for asbeston-containing roof structures

Abstract

Asbestos-containing roofing materials are an increasing hazard, which justifies their replacement by environmentally friendly roofing materials. Replacements can be carried out on an individual initiative basis, but a coordinated, systemic replacement will have a more significant impact. In order for such systemic asbestos removal to be successful from economics and logistics point of view, it is necessary to plan the associated logistics processes, as asbestos removal generates a significant transportation demand due to the large amount of waste generated. In the framework of this paper, the author presents an algorithm to plan the logistic process of centralized asbestos removal. A simple calculation method is presented to determine the cost of collection.
