The greenhouse gas performance of selected biodegradable and recalcitrant plastics in U.S. landfills
Biodegradable plastics are often considered to exhibit superior environmental performance compared to conventional recalcitrant plastics. Here, we assess the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of selected biodegradable and recalcitrant plastics made from both fossil and biogenic carbon (C) as disposed in a national average U.S. landfill. This average landfill incorporates consideration of size, precipitation, landfill gas management, and gas collecti…
Application of a Life Cycle Model for European Union Policy‐Driven Waste Management Decision Making in Emerging Economies
Solid waste life cycle modeling has predominantly focused on developed countries, but there are significant opportunities to assist developing and transition economies to minimize the environmental impact of solid waste management (SWM). Serbia is representative of a transition country and most (92%) of its waste is landfilled. As a Candidate European Union (EU) country, Serbia is expected to implement SWM strategies that meet EU directives. The …
Accumulation and fragmentation of plastic debris in global environments
One of the most ubiquitous and long-lasting recent changes to the surface of our planet is the accumulation and fragmentation of plastics. Within just a few decades since mass production of plastic products commenced in the 1950s, plastic debris has accumulated in terrestrial environments, in the open ocean, on shorelines of even the most remote islands and in the deep sea. Annual clean-up operations, costing millions of pounds sterling, are now …
A Procedure for Life‐Cycle‐Based Solid Waste Management with Consideration of Uncertainty
The development of integrated solid‐waste management (SWM) strategies that are efficient with respect to both cost and environmental performance is a complex task. It must incorporate the numerous interrelations among different unit operations in the solid waste system (e.g., collection, recycling, and combustion), and the large number of design parameters that affect estimates of cost and environmental emissions. Uncertainty in design and operat…
