Abstract
Environmental assessment of municipal solid waste (MSW) management scenarios would help to select eco-friendly scenarios. In this study, the inventory data in support of life cycle assessment of different MSW are presented. The scenarios were defined as: anaerobic digestion (AD, Sc-0), landfilling combined with composting (Sc-1), incineration (Sc-2), incineration combined with composting (Sc-3), and AD combined with incineration (Sc-4). The current article contains flowcharts of the different scenarios. Additionally, six supplementary files including inventory data on the different scenarios, data on the different damage assessment categories, normalization, and single scores are presented (Supplementary files 1–6). The analysis of the different scenarios revealed that the most eco-friendly scenario to be implemented in the future would be the combination of AD and incineration (Sc-4).
Highlights
Environmental assessment of municipal solid waste (MSW) management scenarios would help to select eco-friendly scenarios
Using data imaging from a sufficient samples of inputs/emissions over an adequate period to even acquired out normal fluctuations
Inputs consumption and output production from different scenarios were measured during the year features of study (Jan. 2013–Jan. 2014)
Summary
The functional unit of this study represents management of 1 tone of municipal solid waste in Tehran metropolise during the studying period (Jan. 2013–Jan. 2014). The function is the treatment of this amount of MSW, using different technologies in order to exploit energy, and/or to recycle wastes. Transportation, sorting, AD, landfilling, incineration and composting were considered as the scope of the present study.
