  1. Recycle, burn or landfill - impacts of the life cycle of newspaper with different waste management optionsHelena Dahlbo Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) • Life cycle approach to the sustainability of waste management - a case study on newspaper, LCA-WASTE project, an ongoing research (2001–2004) • Implementation: • Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) • University of Helsinki • Funding • Tekes (National Technology Agency, financier): Technology programme STREAMS – Recycling Technologies and Waste Management • Academy of Finland: Research programme SUNARE – Sustainable Use of Natural Resources Helena Dahlbo

  2. Data: KCL-ECO Database Waste management options Data: UPM-Kymmene Kaipola mill Data: VTT LIPASTODatabase 1 Data: Printing house 2a 2b Data: YTV Waste Management + pilot studies 3a 3b X = collection rate Data: Stockholm incinerator, ORWARE model Data: Waste collectors, VTT LIPASTO Database Data: Paper collectors, Paperinkeräys Oy Forestry Newsprint manufacturing Printing Consumption Discarded newspapers X % (100 - X)% Mixed waste Separately collected paper Helena Dahlbo Processing of separately collected paper Mechanical-biological pretreatment of mixed waste Landfill Material recycling into newsprint manufacturing Incineration with energy recovery Gasification and co-combustion of recycled fuel (REF)

  3. Lessons learned • The different LCIA methods used (DAIA-SYKE, Eco-indicator 99, EPS 2000) give very similar results on waste recovery and treatment alternatives despite differences in their: • approach and structure, • amount of interventions, • weighting methods, and • normalisation factors • The energy system plays a significant role when studying energy recovery options depending on: • what fuel waste would actually replace • where the produced energy could be utilised • Impacts from the use of forest and wood: • a complicated issue • needs further processing in the project Helena Dahlbo
