LCI analysis for treatment processes of disposed office appliances

Our study evaluates the environmental effects on waste treatment processes of disposed OA appliances with the stages of transportation and recycling processes taken into account. In addition, we ran a comparison of some treatment methods for the rest in a disassembly process involving plastics, metal dusts and others. The following four disposal scenarios that we applied are landfill,. incineration, blast furnace injection, and gasification and melting.. In order,to achieve the fewest in solid waste emission and the smallest in CO₂, NO_x and SO_x emissions. Plastics except PVC could be treated for material recycling by blast furnace injection, and the other unsuitable would be treated for gasification and melting
