Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of municipal solid waste management systems: a review.

In the context of Circular Economy, the significance of municipal solid waste management systems (MSWMSs) has increased, as well as the need for comprehensive assessment tools of their sustainability. In the Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) framework, the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA), which is a methodology aiming to evaluate the environmental, economic, and social burdens throughout the various phases of waste management, has raised great interest. The paper describes the state-of-the-art of the implementation of LCT tools, with high regard to LCSA, for the evaluation of MSWMSs through their life cycle, with a deep focus on the use of both midpoint and endpoint categories.

Implementing a sustainable process for the recovery of palladium from spent catalysts at industrial scale: A LCA approach.

Due to its unique physicochemical properties, palladium is widely used in several industry applications (e.g., vehicle emission control).
