The Circular Plastic Alliance Declaration of the European Commission targets the us-age of 10 million tons of recycled plastic per year into new plastic products in Europe by 2025 (European Commission 9/20/2019). To assist this objective this work focuses on the improvement of mechanical sorting of polyethylene (PE).

An efficient procedure of treating municipal solid waste is incineration which enables reduction of the waste volume, and energy recovery during combustion. During this process, fly ashes are produced.

LCA Modelling for the Development of a Simplified Assessment Tool for Food Waste Valorisation and Disposal
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2018)
Food waste is an increasing concern in Europe. Each step in the food supply chain generates side-flows that can be valorised and recycled (e.g. processed to animal feed, producing methane gas in anaerobic digestion) or disposed (e.g. landfilled, discarded to land). These side-flows can have positive or negative economic value, depending on market demand.

Generic Model for the Environmental Assessment of Anaerobic Digestion of Food By-Products and Waste

The generic model can serve as transparent and fair option to compare anaerobic digestion to alternative treatment or disposal options of specific food side-flows for the purpose of a learning tool. The model can be adapted to other side-flows of the food industry if necessary.

In general terms, landfill mining (LFM) and enhanced landfill mining (ELFM) aim for the mitigation of the pollution originating from landfill sites, reduction of aftercare and closure costs, land reclaim in urban areas, material recovery and, among many others, regaining landfill capacity.
