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

چکیده
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, ozone depletion, photochemical ozone formation, acidification, nutrient enrichment, ecotoxicity and human toxicity. The model furthermore has introduced two impact categories: Spoiled Groundwater Resources and Stored Toxocity. Table 1 shows the units and normalization references for the impact potentials that are available in EASEWASTE. The model is flexible, user-friendly and provides default data for waste composition, collection, transport, various treatment processes, landfilling, use on land, recycling, utilization as well as upstream and downstream processes (for example electricity consumption and heat production)

Modelling of environmental impacts from biological treatment of organic municipal waste in EASEWASTE.
The waste-LCA model EASEWASTE quantifies potential environmental effects from biological treatment of organic waste, based on mass and energy flows, emissions to air, water, soil and groundwater as well as effects from upstream and downstream processes. Default technologies for composting, anaerobic digestion and combinations hereof are available in the model, but the user can change all key pa...

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...
متن کاملEnvironmental assessment of garden waste management in the Municipality of Aarhus, Denmark.
An environmental assessment of six scenarios for handling of garden waste in the Municipality of Aarhus (Denmark) was performed from a life cycle perspective by means of the LCA-model EASEWASTE. In the first (baseline) scenario, the current garden waste management system based on windrow composting was assessed, while in the other five scenarios alternative solutions including incineration and ...
