MeSH headings : Humans; Recycling; Refuse Disposal; Solid Waste / analysis; Waste Disposal Facilities; Waste Management
topics (OpenAlex): Municipal Solid Waste Management; Recycled Aggregate Concrete Performance; Environmental Justice and Health Disparities
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 U.S. Municipal Solid Waste Landfill

Wang, Y., Levis, J. W., & Barlaz, M. A. (2021, October 1). Environmental Science & Technology, Vol. 10.

author keywords: landfill; life-cycle assessment; solid waste management; greenhouse gases; capital goods
MeSH headings : Methane; Refuse Disposal; Solid Waste; Waste Disposal Facilities

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

Wang, Y., Levis, J. W., & Barlaz, M. A. (2019, December 3). Environmental Science & Technology, Vol. 54, pp. 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
topics (OpenAlex): Landfill Environmental Impact Studies; Municipal Solid Waste Management; Environmental Impact and Sustainability
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.
