Environmental assessment of solid waste systems and technologies: EASEWASTE.

Evaluation of environmental impacts from municipal solid waste management in the municipality of Aarhus, Denmark (EASEWASTE).

A new computer based life cycle assessment model (EASEWASTE) was used to evaluate a municipal solid waste system with the purpose of identifying environmental benefits and disadvantages by anaerobic digestion of source-separated household waste and incineration. The most important processes that were included in the study are optical sorting and pre-treatment, anaerobic digestion with heat and ...

Environmental Assessment of Solid Waste Landfilling in a Life Cycle Perspective (LCA model EASEWASTE)

Experiences on the Use of Lca-modeling (easewaste) in Waste Management

EASEWASTE (Environmental Assessment of Solid Waste Systems and Technology) is a new LCA-based decision support tool within waste management. The model, which is developed by the Technical University of Denmark, calculates waste flow, resource consumption and environmental emissions from waste management systems and provides a complete impact assessment in terms of potential global warming, ozon...

Life-cycle assessment of the municipal solid waste management system in Hangzhou, China (EASEWASTE).

With the purpose of assessing the environmental impacts and benefits of the current municipal solid waste management system and two modified systems, EASEWASTE, a life-cycle-based model, was used to evaluate the waste system of Hangzhou city in China. An integrated model was established, including waste generation, collection, transportation, treatment, disposal and accompanying external proces...

Social sustainability assessment of conversion technologies: Municipal solid waste into bioenergy using Best Worst Method

The majority of sustainability assessments of the bio based industries are primarily focused on the environmental and economic aspects, while social impacts are rarely considered. While overlooking social dimension can have a serious harmful impact across supply chains. To address this issue, this study proposes a modified systemic approach for a social sustainability impact assessment of the te...
