It is important to improve the communication and collaboration of waste-to-energy stakeholders in Latvia to ensure sustainable economic and environmental development and promote innovation and local technology development. Therefore, implementation of a waste-to-energy cluster in Latvia has been proposed. The aim of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of the organizational structure and SWOT analysis of five existing and one potential waste-to-energy cluster and develop suggestions for improved organization of the developing Latvian cluster. The analytical part includes SWOT analysis of the proposed Latvian waste-to-energy cluster and a comparison of its results with five SWOT analyses for existing European waste-to-energy clusters involved in the project COOLSWEEP.
