“…Therefore, larger the quantity of food sold by hotels, higher the profits. Somewhere it implies that hotels get more benefits from the wastage of food (Radwan, et al, 2010). The hotels can substantially reduce wastage through clients by helping the shoppers create legitimate state of mind towards wastage of nourishment (Ali & Abdullah, 2012) (Pirani & Arafat, 2016).…”

“…As a result, some economists started to pay attention to this sector, especially in tourism destinations where recycling policies have been applied to local population but there are few incentives for tourists to take care of the environmental quality of the destination (Radwan et al, 2010;Gidarakos et al, 2006).…”

Several studies examined the relationship between environmental degradation and population growth. However, most of them don't take into account the difference between local population and tourist arrivals. This paper contributes to the literature by separating these two groups within the framework of IPAT-based models to measure the impact of tourist arrivals in terms of municipal solid waste generation for Mallorca. The model leads to a stochastic differential equations system, which showed that this mature tourist destinations have higher population elasticity than industrial economies. Moreover, the model allowed us to measure the elasticity of substitution between lower-income and higher-income tourists. KEYWORDS:IPAT Model, municipal solid waste, tourism growth.JEL classification: C32, D62, L83, Q01, Q53. Generación de residuos sólidos municipales en destinos maduros:un modelo tipo IPAT para Mallorca RESUMEN: Varios estudios examinaron la relación entre la degradación ambiental y el crecimiento demográfico. Sin embargo, la mayoría de estos no consideran la diferencia entre población local y turística. Este trabajo contribuye a la literatura mediante la separación de estos grupos en el modelo IPAT para cuantificar el impacto del turismo en la generación de residuos sólidos urbanos en Mallorca. Éste conduce a un sistema estocástico de ecuaciones diferenciales que muestra que destinos maduros tienen mayor elasticidad de población que las economías industriales. Además, el modelo permite medir la elasticidad de sustitución entre turistas de bajos ingresos y de mayores ingresos. PALABRAS CLAVES:Modelo IPAT, residuos sólidos municipales, crecimiento turístico.

Abstract. Nowadays the usage of source separation waste collection system is essential for all organisations. This paper describes a case of introduction of such a system at a university of applied sciences (UAS) in Tallinn. The project started in September 2015. The main goals of the project were to reduce the number of garbage cans in the UAS, reduce the amount of unsorted household waste and inform the school community about the significance of waste sorting and relevant environmental matters. The first step of the project was to execute a full waste audit in UAS to identify precise waste quantities which occurred on daily basis. During the week the environmental technology students weighed and sorted all the waste in all premises of the UAS. Based on the collected data, the new system comprised of 19 waste collection points with sorting instructions and adequate volume. The total number of garbage cans was reduced by 46% and mixed household garbage cans by 72%. The final step was to analyse the efficiency of the new waste collection arrangements. Results showed that the new system was well accepted and 80-85% of waste was sorted and collected in the new waste collection points.
