Economic and environmental evaluation of municipal solid waste management system using industrial ecology approach: Evidence from India
Arashdeep Singh,Prasenjit Basak +1 more
TL;DR: An industrial ecology based symbiotic system approach is applied to Indian municipal solid waste (MSW) for population size of one million, taking various alternative techniques: anaerobic digestion (AD), compost, refuses derived fuel (RDF), incineration and gasification.

The role of solid waste composting in mitigating climate change in Jordan.
TL;DR: The assessment revealed that composting and anaerobic digestion of the total generated source-segregated bio-waste have the least net greenhouse gas emissions, while engineered sanitary landfilling and dumping have net emissions of 2.6 and 3.75 million Mg CO2-eq y-1, respectively.

A multi-objective optimization model for municipal waste management system in Tehran city, Iran
TL;DR: In this article, an application of a multi-objective optimization algorithm (i.e., the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II [NSGA-II]) and a fuzzy expert system (FES) to allocate municipal waste capacities to recycling, aerobic composting, incinerator, and landfill facilities with these objectives: (1) minimizing the economic cost; and (2) minimization of the environmental cost of the municipal solid waste management system.

The Production of Methane From Solid Wastes
H. G. Bingemer,Paul J. Crutzen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis is presented of possible worldwide production of methane from anaerobic decay of organic municipal and industrial wastes in landfills, and the amount of methane released to the atmosphere from this source may now be in the range of 30-70×106 T/yr, which is between 6% and 18% of the total CH4 source.

Critical evaluation of factors required to terminate the postclosure monitoring period at solid waste landfills.
TL;DR: The objectives of this paper are to identify and evaluate parameters that can be used to define the end of the postclosure monitoring period and to present a conceptual framework for an investigation of whether post closure monitoring can be terminated at a landfill.
