TABLE 8.1 The goal and scope of solid waste management in Regione Campania.
Goal
The intended application To find out municipal solid wastes (MSW) management
options in Regione Campania
The reasons for carrying out the study To develop information and tools to evaluate the
environmental performance of alternative MSW
management options in the area of Regione Campania
The intended audience The Italian Committee for Waste Emergency in Campania
Whether the results are intended to be used in The results are intended to be used in comparative
comparative assertions intended to be disclosed to the assertions intended to be disclosed to the public
public
Scope
The product system to be studied The municipal solid wastes management options in the
Regione Campania
The functions of the product system or, in the case of To manage solid rest waste, i.e., the MSW residual from
comparative studies, the systems separate household collection, having a given quantity
and composition
The functional unit The management of 1kg of rest waste of the composition
measured as average in Campania, shown in Table 8.2
The system boundary The system boundary is shown in Fig. 8.1
Allocation procedures The allocation of material and energy flows starts with
listing out all material and energy inputs and outputs from
the examination system. Then every single material or
energy source should be traced from its beginning to the
end in the system. The material flow and the energy flow
can be determined and be summarized in a flow chart
Life cycle impact (LCI) assessment methodology and The LCI assessment is planned to be conducted through
types of impacts LCA software GaBi. The types of impacts include abiotic
depletion potential of elements (ADPe), abiotic depletion
potential of fossil fuels (ADPf), acidification potential
(AP), eutrophication potential (EP), freshwater aquatic
ecotoxicity potential (FAETP), global warming potential
(GWP), human toxicity potential (HTP), marine aquatic
ecotoxicity potential (MAEP), ozone-layer depletion
potential (ODP), photochemical oxidants creation
potential (POCP), and terrestrial ecotoxicity potential
(TETP)
Interpretation to be used Consistency check, completeness check, and sensitivity
check
Data requirements The generic data is provided by the most valued
international data bank, the Boustead Ltd., and the specific
data is collected by site investigations
Assumptions The inputs and outputs are constant every year
