Description
This dataset represents the average municipal solid waste treatment conditions in South China, a region comprising Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan provinces. This dataset reflects a mix of treatment methods (technology mix) for municipal solid waste. It is recommended for use in modeling average municipal/public waste mixtures and is not suitable for representing any single specific waste type, such as plastics, paper, or cardboard.
This dataset is calculated based on data from the "Statistical Yearbook of Urban and Rural Construction -- Sanitation and Environmental Conditions in Cities" for the region.
Process Description
"Municipal solid waste" is primarily generated from a wide range of activities across many different sectors. "Municipal solid waste" includes the following components: kitchen waste, paper, rubber, textiles (fibers), wood and bamboo, ashes and soil, bricks, tiles and ceramics, glass, metals, and potentially other fractions. This by-product (recyclable or waste) arises from common transformation activities and can therefore be considered for modeling waste outputs of similar composition. In the HiQ database, treatment methods for this by-product include: landfilling – sanitary landfill, municipal incineration. Additionally, this by-product is used in the following process: clinker production.
