Sustainability evaluation of solid waste management strategies

This research aimed to assess the sustainability of various solid waste management strategies. By conducting comprehensive Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analyses on different waste management scenarios within the Greater Tehran region, with its population exceeding 15 million, the project aimed to identify the most environmentally sound and economically viable options. By evaluating the environmental impacts, resource consumption, and financial implications of each strategy, the research provided valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in developing and implementing sustainable waste management plans. Ultimately, this project contributed to the development of more resilient and environmentally responsible waste management systems for large urban areas.
