| dc.description.abstract | ssassmew/ methods are common tools to support decisions related to waste management. Despite the fact that the decision to improve waste management will better the condition and health of the people, it is crucial to identify the best sustainable solution. The objective of this review article is to provide a guide for the selection of appropriate evaluation methods. For this purpose,' frequently used assessment methods are reviewed, categorised, and summarised. In total, 100 articles have been considered in view of their goals, methodologies, systems investigated, and results regarding economic, environmental, and social issues. Most articles are based on life cycle assessments, multi-criteria decision-making, cost- benefit analysis, risk assessments, and benchmarking. An objective shared by all articles is the support of stakeholders. Approximately 41% of the reviewed articles are life cycle assessment-based; and more than 50% apply scenario analysis to identify the best waste management options. Most articles focus on municipal solid waste and consider specific environmental loadings. Economic aspects are considered by approximately 50% of the articles, and only a small number evaluate social aspects. The choice of system elements and boundaries varies significantly among the articles; thus, assessment results are sometimes contradictory. Based on the result of this review, the following considerations were recommended: (i) a goal-oriented evaluation of the results of the mass | en_US |
