Assessing non-hazardous solid waste business characteristics of Western Canadian provinces

Derek Mensah et al.

Summary: This study fills the gap in studying waste business characteristics and the performance of a waste management system. The temporal and spatial analyses of the waste management system in Canada are systematically assessed over a 16-year period. The study reveals that the waste business size, waste diversion rates, and employee count are important factors in improving waste management system sustainability.

PRospective EnvironMental Impact asSEment (premise): A streamlined approach to producing databases for prospective life cycle assessment using integrated assessment models

R. Sacchi et al.

Summary: Prospective Life Cycle Assessment (pLCA) is a useful method to evaluate the environmental performance in the future, but it requires integrating scenarios generated by Integrated Assessment Models (IAM) to simplify the generation of inventory databases. The study shows that the chosen climate change mitigation target affects the performance of nearly all activities.

A systematic review of life cycle assessment of solid waste management: Methodological trends and prospects

Kyle Sebastian Mulya et al.

Summary: This review paper focuses on the development of critical methodological steps in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on solid waste management. Through a systematic review of 240 studies, it is found that energy-related applications are increasing in LCA studies on solid waste management. The review also highlights the issue of ambiguous data sources and the need for method standardization.

Measuring environmental performance in the treatment of municipal solid waste: The case of the European Union-28

Ana-Maria Rios et al.

Summary: The paper proposes a measure of environmental performance in the treatment of municipal solid waste, finding that the environmental performance of EU-28 members in handling urban waste is generally low, with a positive association between economic development and environmental performance.

Life cycle assessment and circularity indicators

Lucia Rigamonti et al.

Summary: Circularity indicators and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) have great potential in circular decision making, but they cannot be used alone to choose the best circular economy projects as they only provide a partial view on the environmental performance of a system. However, a high degree of circularity can help build good relationships with customers, increase reputation, and facilitate access to funding.

The multidimensional effects of single-use and packaging plastic strategies on German household waste management

Sarah Schmidt et al.

Summary: In Germany in 2017, 32 kg per person and year of SUPP household waste were generated, with 28 kg per person and year being packaging waste. Banning specific non-packaging SUPPs and optimizing source-separation can increase the final recycling rates of SUPPs in household waste to 50%, while minimizing reductions in waste quantity.
