  1. Sustainable Waste Management Planning through Life Cycle Approach LCA-IWM Project within EU 5th Action ProgrammeKey-action “The City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage” Emilia den Boer Institut WAR, Technische Universität Darmstadt

  2. 2. Assessment model Environ-mental Waste quantity & composition 1. Prognostic model • paper & cardboard • Waste pre-treatment & treatment • Composting • Digestion • Mech.-Biol. Pre-treatment • Incineration • Recycling: (paper, glass, metals, plastics, • WEEE) Economic Collection systems, transport • glass Final disposal Temporary storage • metals Credits: Energy Compost Secondary materials • plastics and comp. Social • bio-waste • WEEE • residual & bulky waste • hazardous waste Project objestives

  3. Environmental criteria selection – LCIA Screening/Streamlining LCA Relevance Comparability Methods:CML UBA Inventory Impact assessment Results Aggregation Impact categories Area CO2 Global Warming Potential SO2 Environmental Impact NOx Acidification PCDD/F Human toxicity, ect. Pb

  4. Results of selection of social sustainability criteria Social acceptability: 1.- ODOUR 2.-VISUAL IMPACT 3.- COMFORT 4.- URBAN SPACE 5.- PRIVATE SPACE CONS. 6.- NOISE 7.- COMPLEXITY 8.- TRAFFIC 9.- RISK PERCEPTION  Costume and traditions, cleanliness Social equity: 10.- DISTRIBUTION AND LOCATION OF CONTAINERS 11.- EMPLOYMENT QUALITY Distribution of benefits and burdens Social function: 12.- FINAL DESTINATION 13.- DIRECT EMPLOYMENT CREATION Minimisation, fuel quality, management capability, public awareness
