Research project:

Analysis of waste management by a combined methodology of life cycle analysis and material flow analysis.

Project summary:

Waste management is one of the major challenges of modern societies, and choices made in this area have important economic and environmental impacts. To asses the overall environmental impacts, it’s important to address the entire lifecycle of the waste, from their collection until their end of life (production of secondary materials, production of energy, landfill…). In this context, the life cycle methodology is interesting and promising.

The objective of this thesis is to develop and validate a combined methodology of life cycle analysis (LCA) and material flow analysis (MFA) of waste management. The difference and complementarities of both approaches provide a more relevant, transparent and complete anlysis.
