Waste-to-energy approaches are becoming increasingly important around the world, and municipal solid waste (MSW) as a renewable and sustainable energy source is of great importance to be considered in preventing climate change. On the other hand, since uncontrolled MSW is a threat to the environment and human health, sustainable municipal solid waste management should be evaluated to reduce negative environmental impacts. In this study, various municipal solid waste management options having energy production were selected and analysed by using SimaPro 9.0.0.49 to determine the most environmentally friendly waste management system. One-ton MSW in Kırklareli/Turkey was chosen as the functional unit. Environmental impacts were calculated via the CLM-IA method; impact groups were abiotic depletion, abiotic depletion (fossil fuels), global warming, ozone layer depletion, human toxicity, freshwater, marine and terrestrial ecotoxicities, photochemical oxidation, acidification and eutrophication. The first results indicated that energy recovery reduces the environmental impacts and future waste management plant of Kırklareli (material separation for recycling, biomethanisation and landfilling) is the best option within the scope of the environment at present.
废物能源转化方法在全球范围内变得越来越重要，而城市固体废物（MSW）作为一种可再生和可持续的能源，对于防止气候变化具有重要意义。另一方面，由于未经控制的 MSW 对环境和人类健康构成威胁，因此应评估可持续的城市固体废物管理，以减少对环境的负面影响。在本研究中，使用 SimaPro 9.0.0.49 选择和分析了具有能源生产的各种城市固体废物管理选项，以确定最环保的废物管理系统。以土耳其克利雷利的 1 吨 MSW 为功能单元。通过 CLM-IA 方法计算环境影响；影响类别包括非生物枯竭、非生物枯竭（化石燃料）、全球变暖、臭氧层消耗、人类毒性、淡水、海洋和陆地生态毒性、光化学氧化、酸化和富营养化。初步结果表明，能源回收减少了环境影响，目前克利雷利（用于回收的物质分离、生物甲烷化和垃圾填埋）的未来废物管理工厂是环境范围内的最佳选择。
