Total costs of ownership: Comparison Incineration Plant-Landfill Technical Co-Operation Project Bavaria-Sao Paulo

Brazil is booming. The International Monetary Fund IMF draws a positive prognosis for the Brazilian economy and estimates the growth of the gross domestic product (GDP) at 4 % for the current year. With 14 bn. US$ in 2005 Brazil is listed on a top position in a ranking of recipients of foreign portfolio investments in Latin America. To hold up the aspired trend of the economic growth, substantial investments in infrastructure are provided. Already 1.200 German enterprises are settled in the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo. It can be expected, that especially in this area investments for the waste management of the more than proportional increase of waste are discussed primarily.
With high respect towards the results of the numerous preoperating studies in this region (e.g. MBT pilot plant in São Sebastião with the collaboration of GTZ) as well as the efforts of the informal sector in reduction and recycling a waste master plan has to push the reliability of high quality waste management in the region of Sao Paulo. Therefore the following systems are competing: § Landfill § Incineration and energy recovery of waste This study offers a decision support for executives, who compare in a draft both systems according to the method of Total Costs of Ownership (TCO), regarding the total life time and including the aftercare of landfill. Relevant variables of the comparison (costs of Personnel, real estate, construction building, energy) can be varied to include basic local conditions and their trends in the future.
