The activity generating the emissions is treatment of municipal solid waste, open dump. The Reference Product is municipal solid waste. Municipal solid waste is a solid waste under the category of residential wastes. It can be sourced in many and various ways and therefore it can belong in all waste categories (commercial and institutional, industrial and construction and demolition). It is generated in a wide range of activities from many different sectors. The composition of municipal solid waste depends heavily on the geography in which it was generated, due to different consumption and sorting practices. The properties of carbon content (fossil and non-fossil), heating values, dry mass and others can thus vary significantly in the ecoinvent database. Users are advised to inspect the properties of the specific exchange in the geography of interest and the fractions contained as stated in the General Comment of the treatment activities. This kind of by-product (recyclable or waste) is generated from ordinary transforming activities, and as such can be considered for modelling waste outputs of comparable composition. In the ecoinvent database, treatment option/s for this by-product include: deposition (sanitary landfill, unsanitary landfill), thermal (municipal incineration with and without energy recovery), uncontrolled forms of disposal (open dump, open burning). Based on the aforementioned treatments, this by-product receives, it is a non-hazardous waste. In addition, this by-product is used in the following processes: clinker production. This by-product can be modelled on two levels: treatment activity and market activity. The former one refers to the specific technology treating the by-product while the latter level represents a mix of treatments. Users are encouraged to inspect the modelling assumptions of the treatment activities and when selecting the market to additionally inspect the treatment mix. Collection and transportation of this by-product is accounted in the respective market activity, users are advised to inspect and modify the average transportation distances for a case specific modelling. The Reference Product amount is -1. The cut-off classification is Waste. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/92601/documentation
