Development of Streamlined Life-Cycle Assessment for the Solid Waste Management System

Environmental Science & Technology, 55(8), 5475–5484.

By: Y. Wang n, J. Levis  n & M. Barlaz n 

MeSH headings : Humans; Recycling; Refuse Disposal; Solid Waste / analysis; Waste Disposal Facilities; Waste Management
TL;DR: A systematic framework for streamlining LCAs is developed by identifying the most critical impacts, life-cycle inventory emissions, and inputs based on their contributions to the total impacts and their effect on the rankings of 18 alternative MSWM scenarios. (via Semantic Scholar)

Life-Cycle Assessment of a Regulatory Compliant US Municipal Solid Waste Landfill

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 55(20), 13583–13592.

By: Y. Wang n, J. Levis  n & M. Barlaz n 

author keywords: landfill; life-cycle assessment; solid waste management; greenhouse gases; capital goods
MeSH headings : Methane; Refuse Disposal; Solid Waste; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR: This study develops an LCA model for a representative U.S. MSW landfill that is responsive to landfill size, regulatory thresholds for landfill gas (LFG) collection and control, practices for LFG management (i.e., passive venting, flare, combustion for energy recovery), and four alternative schedules for L FG collection well installation.

An Assessment of the Dynamic Global Warming Impact Associated with Long-Term Emissions from Landfills

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 54(3), 1304–1313.

By: Y. Wang n, J. Levis  n & M. Barlaz n 

MeSH headings : Carbon Dioxide; Global Warming; Greenhouse Effect; Greenhouse Gases; Methane; Solid Waste; Waste Disposal Facilities
TL;DR: A life-cycle model was developed to estimate GHG emissions for three gas treatment cases (passive venting, flare, CH4 conversion to electricity) and four decay rates and shows that when comparing single-point GWP values, the choice of static versus dynamic is relatively unimportant for most landfills.

Shift from feeding to sustainably nourishing urban China: A crossing-disciplinary methodology for global environment-food-health nexus

SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 647, 716–724.

By: G. Song *, X. Gao*, P. Fullana-i-Palmer *, D. Lv *, Z. Zhu *, Y. Wang n, L. Bayer *

author keywords: Dietary change; Public health; Nutrition intakes; Environment-food-health nexus; Urbanization; Climate change
MeSH headings : China; Conservation of Natural Resources / methods; Diet; Food; Food Supply / methods; Nutrition Policy; Urbanization
TL;DR: The results showed that the optimal diets based on the DRI 2013 outperformed these on DRI 2000 in improving China's environmental sustainability, although these diets did not always perform better at an individual scale. (via Semantic Scholar)
