This is because it became a valuable input source for waste recyclable re-industrialization in its broader concept from circular economy perspective .On the other hand, MW is one of the key issues under Egypt strategic vision 2030. Converting waste into fertilizers and biofuel represents a three-win solution that deals with food security, pollution, and energy security at the same time. In this paper, we explore the role of waste recycling\ re-industrialization in sustainable development. To do so, different accounting bases and scenarios for MW in collection phase from households are explored to investigate the most profitable and best sustainable development one by adopting Full Cost Accounting (FCA) method. Firstly, the intersections among food, pollution, and energy as a three-win solution from waste recycling are discussed. Secondly, the necessary steps for implementing Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) pricing model using FCA method as an accounting approach are determined. Thirdly, different scenarios for implementation are suggested. Finally, a comparative analysis of the results is performed. To conclude, source separation for MW in collection phase from households causes profitability for both governorates and households. Further, the total amount of recyclables and the quality of supplied secondary materials are affected by the level of source separation for MW. Thus, it creates tremendous economic, environmental and social benefits for industry, energy and food security, specially, if it is managed properly with reasonable implementation of integrated sustainable PAYT accounting approach.
