The building of new waste treatment plants has not been closely following the Circular Economy (CE) hierarchy, and the incurred cost and social acceptance have been challenging. Integrated regional waste management by waste trading can offer the sharing of resources to achieve a mutually beneficial system in CE transition. This study aims to minimise the environmental footprints, with the consideration of economic feasibility, in integrated regional waste management by developing an extended Pinch Analysis-based targeting method. The proposed graphical decision-support method is applied to a case study where the waste trading amongst Central Europe (Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia) is considered. A monthly waste trading network is identified with Germany, and Austria serves as the country with a surplus of waste treatment capacity. The pessimistic estimation indicated that the GHG emission of the waste trading design is 0.311 t CO₂eq/t of waste, where the GHG emission of 1 t waste is reduced by 20 kg – 30 kg compared to the baseline scenario. The assessment suggested that when the amount of waste to be transported by lorry is >5 t and the transport distance to the incineration plant compared to the landfill is less than ~500 – 940 km, waste trading for recovery offers a lower net GHG emission. However, to prevent pollution haven and to consider the economic feasibility, the landfill fees have to be increased significantly. The developed method can identify integrated waste management network for different levels of administrative division to minimise environmental footprints.

新的废物处理厂的建设并没有严格遵循循环经济（CE）的等级制度，因此产生的成本和社会接受度一直具有挑战性。通过废物贸易进行的区域废物综合管理可以提供资源共享，以实现CE过渡中的互利体系。这项研究旨在通过开发基于扩展的基于Pinch Analysis的目标确定方法，在考虑到经济可行性的情况下，在区域综合废物管理中最大限度地减少环境足迹。拟议的图形化决策支持方法被应用于一个案例研究，其中考虑了中欧（奥地利，捷克共和国，德国，波兰和斯洛伐克）之间的废物交易。确定了与德国的每月废物交易网络，奥地利是废物处理能力过剩的国家。悲观的估计表明，废物交易设计的温室气体排放量为0.311 t CO₂ eq / t废物，与基准情景相比，其中1 t废物的温室气体排放减少了20 kg – 30 kg。评估表明，当卡车运输的废物量大于5吨，并且与垃圾填埋场相比，到焚化厂的运输距离小于500至940公里时，为回收而进行的废物交易提供了较低的净温室气体排放量。但是，为了防止污染的避难所和考虑经济可行性，必须大幅提高垃圾掩埋费。所开发的方法可以识别用于不同级别行政区划的集成废物管理网络，以最大程度地减少环境足迹。
