Waste is unwanted or unusable material. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or is worthless, defective and of no use. In particular this study is focused on hazardous waste, which is waste that poses substantial or potential threats to public health or to the environment. The characteristic of this type of waste is ecotoxicity. Waste is disposed of efficiently by industrial symbiosis that is a component of industrial ecology. The "Ge.S.P.I. S.r.l." located in Augusta is the leader in the South of Italy for waste reduction that deals with transforming waste into energy, industrial waste and waste from ships. In order to increase the environmental sustainability "Ge.S.P.I S.r.l.". decided to present a waste-to-energy plant at Ecomondo in November 2016. This plant is a waste management facility that composts waste to produce electricity. Waste-to-energy plants can have a significant cost advantage over traditional power options, as the waste-to-energy operator can get revenues for receiving waste as an alternative to the cost of disposing waste in a landfill. This plant decreases ash and CO2 emissions but also minimizes the introduction of heavy waste into the environment. This paper is based on the experimental analysis of the Breakeven point of different types of waste. In particular the analysis is based on understanding how the Break-even point varies depending on the types of waste, percentage of waste, energy evaluation and chemical components. This is a qualitative method used to optimize the measurements and cost-benefit quantities of amounts of waste, which represent the point where costs and revenues are equal. It is the point where a business, product or project becomes financially viable. The aim of this research is to analyze the costs-benefits and the reduction in costs of incineration after the introduction of this plant and to analyze it in the perspective of implementing sales and new business models.
