Share of carbon in waste that is biogenic 60.4%.
Share of iron in waste that is metallic/recyclable 100%.
Net energy produced in MSWI: 0MJ/kg waste electric energy and 0MJ/kg waste thermal energy
Allocation of energy production: no substitution or expansion. Total burden allocated to waste disposal function of MSWI.
One kg of this waste produces 0.5027 kg of slag and 0.001245 kg of residues, which are landfilled. Additional solidification with 0.0004979 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.]
[This dataset has been generated using the system model "Allocation, cut-off by classification". A system model describes how activity datasets are linked to form product systems. The allocation cut-off system model subdivides multi-product activities by allocation, based on a physical properties, economic, mass or other properties. By-products of waste treatment processes are cut-off, as are all by-products classified as recyclable. Markets in this model include all activities in proportion to their current production volume.
Version 3 of the ecoinvent database offers three system models to choose from. For more information, please visit: https://www.ecoinvent.org/database/system-models-in-ecoinvent-3/system-…)]

Technology

replaced by newer incineration technology with fly ash extraction. Average Swiss MSWI plants in 2000 with electrostatic precipitator for fly ash (ESP), wet flue gas scrubber and 29.4% SNCR , 32.2% SCR-high dust , 24.6% SCR-low dust -DeNOx facilities and 13.8% without Denox (by burnt waste, according to Swiss average). Share of waste incinerated in plants with magnetic scrap separation from slag : 50%. Gross electric efficiency technology mix 12.997% and Gross thermal efficiency technology mix 25.57%
