摘要: Life cycle assessment (LCA) can be successfully applied to municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems identify the overall environmental burdens and assess potential impacts. In this study, two methods used for current MSW in Phuket, a province of Thailand, landfilling (without energy recovery) incineration (with recovery), are compared from both consumption greenhouse gas emission points view. The comparisons based on direct activity consideration also life perspective. cases as well parameters considered, was found superior landfilling. However, performance much better when perspective used. Also, reversed methane recovery electricity production were introduced. This study reveals that complete picture is provided by using
