Abstract
mixture with different characteristics. So, it was necessary to estimate the
impacts associated to each waste fraction using different allocation rules.
These types of systems are so called multi-functional process being
incineration a clear example. In this paper the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI)
and a multi functional model were developed to describe Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW) incineration in Spain and Portugal. In the model, whenever
possible, physical and chemical causation allocations were applied. When a
causation relationship cannot be established, allocation was done based on a
physical parameter (energy or mass).
