Comments and Questions:
The thesis presents very interesting and important topic – waste and sound label wasteful is amazing. The different approaches to waste and its management belongs inevitably to our modern society. I appreciate student’s approach to this issue, especially use of data and statistical methods. There is lots of different data on waste and waste management and it is obvious that the student spent a lot of time with checking and analysing data. I like the way of presentation but some charts should be better. Sometimes they are very small and colours are misleading. Similarly, I like statistical methods used by the student but
sometimes less models presented and elaborated in a higher detail should provide a benefit to the reader.
I recommend the thesis for defence.
Conclusion: The Master Thesis is recommended for the defence.
