Strategic environmental assessment as an approach to assess waste management systems. Experiences from an Austrian case study

Comparison of the Suitability of Two LCA Procedures in Selecting the Best MSW Management System

“…A similar result was obtained by Eriksson et al (2004) considering the installation of an anaerobic digestion plant. While, different results were obtained by Salhofer et al (2007), who found lower impact in terms of the Eutrophication of mechanical biological treatment rather than incineration. The avoided impact is due to the energy recovery with the subsequent saving of fossil fuels.…”

Identification and Selection of Alternative Scenarios in LCA Studies of Integrated Waste Management Systems: A Review of Main Issues and Perspectives

“…In describing the study and the scenarios for evaluation and comparison, the criteria used to define the assumed scenarios are not clear, specifically with respect to the choice of certain waste management options as regards both the percentages of waste involved and the technologies and processes chosen [19,[21][22][23][24][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. …”

A program-level management system for the life cycle environmental and economic assessment of complex building projects

“…• (ii) Other studies were conducted on LCA applications for civil and construction products' selection. Aforementioned tools were considered highly effective in the environmental impact assessment for a single industrial product (Boehm et al, 1995;Durairaj et al, 2002;Forsberg and Von Malmborg, 2004;Gluch and Baumann, 2004;Hischier et al, 2014;Li, 2006;Salhofer et al, 2007). In applying the tools to the construction industry, however, it was limited to provide only a simple summation of the life-cycle environmental impact assessment (Jeong et al, in press;Mateus and Bragança, 2011;Norris and Yost, 2001;Yu-rong et al, 2009).…”
