HiQLCD Waste Treatment industry database cover

Chinese life cycle data for waste treatment and recovery

Explore solid waste, food waste, wastewater, sludge and recovery data. Match waste properties, treatment processes and final destinations to model end-of-life scenarios or treatment systems.

Waste streams and treatment pathways

Municipal solid waste

Municipal incineration, sanitary landfill and regional market mixes, configured with power generation and combined heat and power (CHP) recovery options.

Food waste and associated wastewater

Food waste composting and anaerobic digestion pathways, complete with downstream digestate management and coupled wastewater treatment processes.

Wastewater and leachate

Domestic sewage, industrial effluent and landfill leachate treatment across biological, membrane and multi-stage combined process routes.

Sludge treatment and subsequent use

Sludge thickening, dewatering, drying, digestion, composting, wet oxidation, pyrolysis and incineration, linked to final disposal or resource utilization routes.

Recovered products and supporting infrastructure

Recycled plastic pellets, biogas production and waste collection logistics, alongside wastewater treatment plants and urban or rural sewer network infrastructure.

Treatment chains & final destinations

Kitchen waste transfer treatment dataset details, view 1

Treatment chains & final destinations

Select sludge records by treatment sequence, waste condition and final destination, rather than the label “sludge treatment” alone.

2

Residual flows & associated wastewater

Kitchen waste transfer treatment dataset details, view 2

Residual flows & associated wastewater

Check digestate destinations and associated wastewater boundaries when modelling food-waste treatment, rather than stopping at anaerobic digestion.

3

Treatment services & recovered products

Kitchen waste transfer treatment dataset details, view 3

Treatment services & recovered products

Check reference products and units: treatment services, recovered materials and recovered energy cannot all represent waste disposal quantities.

Treatment locations & waste properties

Check available geography alongside waste properties and treatment technology. Document assumptions when the actual end-of-life route is unknown.

Associated ID: a8e8b521-49a3-423b-a800-99fa65ab4ce6

Included activities starts: Starting from traveling to the recycling service point.
Included activities ends: until the retired power batteries are transported to the recycling company
Description: This dataset represents the process of recycling retired power batteries at various service points or channels. It is recommended for use in cases where the recycling service point for retired power batteries is unspecified. It is not suitable to represent any single specific recycling service point, such as professionally qualified third parties, automobile manufacturers, or joint efforts by multiple parties.
Activity Description: This dataset represents the process of recycling retired power batteries at various service points or channels, including electricity consumption for the operation of recycling outlets and storage facilities.
Process Description: Professional third-party service providers with recycling qualifications, automobile manufacturers, and joint parties collect retired power batteries at various service points.
