Abstract: Reducing environmental pollution by finding optimal solutions for waste management is an ongoing concern both within companies and in landfills. The need to develop waste management integrated systems should have the effect of reducing the impact on the environment in the context of a sustainable development. This paper proposes a solution for waste management, which is already applied in a warehouse that collects non-hazardous types of waste in three major cities: Campina, Ploiesti and Boldesti-Scaieni. Using the software application called “mediu.conturweb” provides a comprehensive framework for monitoring the total amount of waste stored and recycled, for monitoring environmental factors like CH4 and CO2 emissions. The application achieved its goal of reducing emissions back in 2015, when it was first implemented, for a huge amount of waste of approximately 131,909.36 t to the values of 384 tons/year for CH4 and of 998 tons/year for CO2.
