The aim of the study is to analyze three different waste treatment technologies by life cycle assessmenttool. Sanitary Landfill, Incineration and gasification-pyrolysis of the waste treatment technologies are studied inSimaPro software based on input-output materials flow.

The statistical entropy (SE) function has been applied to waste treatment systems to account for dilution or concentration effects on metals. We later extended it to account for carbon flows, especially in waste management systems involving thermal treatment. Now, a simple lifecycle “net energy” metric – encompassing the “lost energy” …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been developed as a tool for assessment of the environmental impacts which are caused by the pressures from products or systems, viewed in a life cycle perspective, i.e. covering all stages of the life cycle of the product or system from the extraction of raw …
