- •
A spreadsheet-based model that supports LWP sorting cost calculations was established.
- •
Mass flows and costs were simulated for four plants of progressively higher capacity.
- •
Processing costs results show that strong capacity-related economies of scale occur.
- •
Operational efficiency is influenced by technology level and competitive pressure.
- •
Waste transfer and transport costs are important in the planning of large capacity plants.
