Urban solid waste management is an important component of urban sustainability. The concept of evaluating technologies from both life cycle and urban metabolism perspectives is proposed in this study. The analysis from life cycle perspective (using physical input-output life cycle assessment model) provides support for determining the priority of technologies, and the analysis from urban metabolism...
Waste recycling for paper production is an important component of waste management. This study constructs a physical input–output life-cycle assessment (PIO-LCA) model. The PIO-LCA model is used to investigate environmental impacts of four categories of waste recycling in China’s paper industry: crop straws, bagasse, textile wastes and scrap paper. Crop straw recycling and wood utilization for paper...
Investigating impacts of urban solid waste recycling on urban metabolism contributes to sustainable urban solid waste management and urban sustainability. Using a physical input–output model and scenario analysis, urban metabolism of Suzhou in 2015 is predicted and impacts of four categories of solid waste recycling on urban metabolism are illustrated: scrap tire recycling, food waste recycling, fly...
