Abstract
A methodology for the ecological assessment of technologies for municipal solid waste (MSW) processing and solid recovered fuel (SRF) production is proposed, including calculations of direct, indirect and prevented greenhouse gas emissions at all stages of waste management, taking into account the composition of the waste, the properties of the individual components of the MSW and the characteristics of used equipment. The elemental balance of fossil and biogenic carbon was calculated for MSW management system. It is concluded that MSW processing with recyclables recovery and SRF production can reduce greenhouse gases release from 5.8 to 67.6 % with respect to waste disposal at the MSW landfill.
