Development of a Decision Support Tool for Life Cycle Assessment of Plastic Waste Disposal Processes

Year: 2002 – 2003

Institution: Bogazici University Scientific Research Projects Coordination

Status: Completed

This project aimed to comparatively assess different plastic waste management technologies using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology as a decision-support tool. Within the scope of the study, detailed energy and mass balance analyses were developed for recycling, pyrolysis, gasification, incineration, and landfilling processes, providing a framework for evaluating these technologies in terms of sustainability and decision-making support.
