Share of carbon in waste that is biogenic 100%.
Share of iron in waste that is metallic/recyclable 0%.
Net energy produced in MSWI: 0.14MJ/kg waste electric energy and 0.45MJ/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 0.2994 kg of slag and 0.0006114 kg of residues, which are landfilled. Additional solidification with 0.0002446 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

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%
