Share of carbon in waste that is biogenic 0%.
Net energy produced in HWI: 17.11MJ/kg electric energy and 1.27MJ/kg thermal energy
Allocation of energy production: no substitution or expansion. 100% of burden allocated to waste disposal function of HWI.
One kg of this waste produces 0.01394 kg of residues, which are landfilled. Additional solidification with 0.005575 kg of cement.
[The full documentation of this dataset was originally provided in the corresponding ecoinvent report from the Swiss Centre for Life Cycle Inventories, which is accessible for free to guests and users of ecoinvent version 2 (https://www.ecoinvent.org/login-databases.html). The dataset may subsequently have been subjected to central changes to the database, as described in the respective change report for each new release.]
Undefined unit processes (UPRs) are the unlinked, multi-product activity datasets that form the basis for all of the system models available in the ecoinvent database. This is the way the datasets are obtained and entered into the database by the data providers. These activity datasets are useful for investigating the environmental impacts of a specific activity (gate-to-gate), without regard to its upstream or downstream impacts.

Technology
