The aim of this paper is to apply life cycle assessment in the waste management sector, in order to compare the environmental performance of different waste management methods. The methods that are studied are: landfilling, aerobic and anaerobic biological treatment, incineration and recycling, focusing on mass and energy balances and the environmental performance of each applied scenario. The Peloponnese Region in Greece was selected as a case for the application of this methodology and more specifically its largest municipalities, where a significant amount of waste is presented. The conducted LCA study proves the necessity of the adoption of an integrated waste management system and indicates its principal objectives by measuring environmental impacts. Thermal scenario contributes significant to the mitigation on the Greenhouse Gases. On the other hand, separation at source and recycling practices provides significant benefits to the abiotic depletion impact.
本文旨在将生命周期评估应用于废物管理领域，以比较不同废物管理方法的环境绩效。所研究的方法有：填埋、好氧和厌氧生物处理、焚烧和回收，重点关注质量和能量平衡以及每种应用场景的环境性能。希腊伯罗奔尼撒地区被选为该方法应用的案例，更具体地说是其最大的城市，那里有大量的废物。进行的生命周期评估研究证明了采用综合废物管理系统的必要性，并通过衡量环境影响来指出其主要目标。热能方案对温室气体的减排有重大贡献。另一方面，源头分类和回收实践对非生物资源枯竭的影响有重大益处。
