The goal of the study was to fully explore the use of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Research Triangle Institute (EPA/RTI) holistic decision model to study alternative solid waste systems in a wide array of waste management conditions, using data collected from cities selected in each region of the world. Seven cities were selected from the different regions of development countries served by the World Bank. Their data was considered to be competent, and they cooperated with the study teams. They were: Buenos Aires, Argentina; Conakry, Guinea; Shanghai, China; Kathmandu, Nepal; Lahore, Pakistan; Amman, Jordan; and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. These cities represented a range of economic development factors, income, commercial, and industrial activity, in addition to their different physical settings and climate conditions. The cities were selected to see how such divergent variables would affect the outcome of the modeling analysis. Each of the selected cities is one of the largest within its country. In addition to the 7 target cities from developing countries, Kawasaki, Japan, and Atlanta, Georgia, were selected for comparative purposes. The resulting scenarios for each city, and cities in comparison to others, are shown in detail. While this report found the level of analysis adequate to indicate how technologies and scenarios compare, more detail would be required for deciding on the most cost-effective technology. The results of this study can be considered a useful guide for many cities, in understanding the waste disposal options most appropriate to their conditions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAIR EMISSIONSAIR POLLUTANTSAIR POLLUTIONALUMINUMANAEROBIC DIGESTIONANIMAL MANUREANIMAL WASTEASHATMOSPHEREAVERAGE TEMPERATUREBACTERIABALERSBARGE TRANSFERBIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMANDBIOGASBODBOILERSBONESBRITISH THERMAL UNITBTUBULKY WASTECARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON MONOXIDECHEMICAL INDUSTRYCLIMATE CHANGECOALCOLLECTED WASTECOLLECTION FREQUENCYCOLLECTION SYSTEMSCOLLECTION VEHICLESCOMBUSTIONCOMBUSTION ACTIVITIESCOMBUSTION FACILITIESCOMBUSTION PROCESSCOMMERCIAL WASTECOMMINGLED RECYCLABLESCOMPACTOR TRUCKSCOMPOSTCOMPOST PRODUCTCOMPOSTABLE MATERIALSCOMPOSTINGCOMPOSTING FACILITIESCOMPOSTING PROCESSCONSUMPTION OF ENERGYDAILY WASTE COLLECTIONDIESEL FUELDISPOSALDISPOSAL COSTDISPOSAL METHODDISPOSAL OF WASTEDISPOSAL SITEDISPOSAL SITESELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY PRODUCTIONEMISSIONEMISSION DATAEMISSION FACTORSEMISSION REDUCTIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SAVINGSENERGY TECHNOLOGIESENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTSENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYENVIRONMENTAL SANITATIONFINAL DISPOSALFINAL DISPOSAL SITEFIRESFOOD WASTEFOSSIL FUELSFUELFUEL COMBUSTIONFUEL TYPEFUELSFURNITUREGARBAGEGAS COLLECTIONGAS EMISSIONSGAS FLARINGGAS VENTINGGHGGLASSGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE EFFECTGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GASESHAZARDOUS SUBSTANCESHDPEHEATHIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENEHUMUSHYDROGEN SULFIDEINCINERATIONINCINERATION FACILITIESINCINERATION FACILITYINCINERATION WITH ENERGYINCINERATION WITH ENERGY RECOVERYINCINERATORSINCOMEIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION WATERLAND USELANDFILLLANDFILL DISPOSALLANDFILL FACILITYLANDFILL GASLANDFILL GAS RECOVERYLANDFILL OPERATIONSLANDFILL SITELANDFILL SITESLANDFILLINGLANDFILLSLEACHATELEACHATE TREATMENTLIQUID WASTESMETALSMETHANEMETHANE GASMETROPOLITAN AREAMETROPOLITAN CITYMININGMRFMSWMUNICIPAL SOLIDMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTEMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTMUNICIPAL WASTEMUNICIPAL WASTE STREAMNATURAL GASNITROGEN OXIDESOPEN BURNINGORGANIC MATERIALSOXYGENPAPER WASTEPARTICULATEPLASTICPMPOLLUTION PROBLEMSPOST-CLOSUREPRECIPITATIONRAINFALLRAW MATERIALSRECYCLABLE MATERIALRECYCLABLE MATERIALSRECYCLABLE WASTERECYCLINGREFUSEREFUSE COLLECTIONREFUSE COLLECTION VEHICLESRESIDENTIAL WASTERUNOFFSANITARY ENGINEERSSANITARY LANDFILLSANITARY LANDFILL SITESCREENINGSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE ASSOCIATIONSOLID WASTE COLLECTIONSOLID WASTE DATASOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSOLID WASTE SYSTEMSOLID WASTE SYSTEMSSOLID WASTE TECHNOLOGYSOURCE REDUCTIONSTRAWSURFACE WATERSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSWMTOTAL WASTE GENERATIONTRANSFER POINTSTRANSFER STATIONSUNIT PROCESSWASTE COLLECTIONWASTE COLLECTION VEHICLESWASTE COMBUSTIONWASTE COMPOSITIONWASTE DISPOSALWASTE GENERATIONWASTE GENERATION RATEWASTE MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIESWASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMWASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSWASTE PAPERWASTE PLASTICSWASTE TO ENERGYWASTE TREATMENTWASTESWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER POLLUTANTSWATER POLLUTIONWINDROWWTEYARD TRIMMINGSYARD WASTEYARD WASTESWorld Bank10.1596/12903
