Abstract
Global solid waste generation is constantly rising, hence the need for management strategies that implement environmental improvements. The sustainable municipal solid waste management strategy for municipalities must include collection and transportation. The collection and transportation sector have been neglected while it is one of the most significant polluters. As a result, this study aims to model municipal solid waste transportation using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software which we used CCalC2 for this study and CML2001 methodology was used. To demonstrate how different approaches to waste management through transportation can reduce environmental impacts, LCA modeling was done for the three districts of Urla, Çeşme, and Karaburun, all of which are located on the Karaburun Peninsula. Each district was assigned three scenarios, with Scenario 0 representing current municipal practices, Scenario 1 representing a 50% reduction in plastic waste, and Scenario 2 representing a 50% reduction in all renewables. Results showed that only plastic separation might not be enough to achieve significant e reductions in environmental impacts. It has been demonstrated that in the transportation sector of Urla and Çeşme, Scenario 1 had a CO2 reduction of 3.7% and Karaburun had a CO2 reduction of 3.8% while Scenario 2 represented at least a 20% reduction of carbon footprint in all three districts. Findings of this research will support municipalities in the roadmaps they will choose for the Municipal Solid Waste Management applications.
