TLDR
In this article, a methodology for economic assessment of municipal waste management systems is proposed and tested through a case study, which consists of a financial LCC, life cycle costing, and an environmental LCC (functioning as a consecutive, weighting tool).About:

TL;DR: A critical review of 222 published LCA studies of SWMS found that there is little agreement in the conclusions among them and recommend stakeholders in solid waste management to regard LCA as a tool, which allows identifying critical problems and proposing improvement options adapted to the local specificities.

Solid waste management in European countries: a review of systems analysis techniques.
TL;DR: Considering systems analysis models and tools in a synergistic way would certainly provide opportunities to develop better solid waste management strategies leading to conformity with current standards and foster future perspectives for both the waste management industry and government agencies in European Union.

Operational vs. embodied emissions in buildings—A review of current trends
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take a retrospective approach to critically review the relationship between embodied and operational emissions over the lifecycle of buildings and highlight and demonstrate the increasing proportion of embodied emissions that is one consequence of efforts to decrease operational emissions.

What life-cycle assessment does and does not do in assessments of waste management.
TL;DR: This work identifies what other tools are available for investigating issues that cannot be adequately dealt with by traditional LCA models, and discusses whether LCA methodology should be expanded rather than complemented by other tools to increase its scope and applicability.
