Abstract
Recently, various kinds of new refuse disposal technologies are proposed and developed. In this study, we estimate the life cycle energy and emissions for the new refuse disposal technology and intend to operate the evaluation of the environmental load with the use of LCA method. We use the Environmental Load Point (ELP) for index. Especially, we focus on the effect of dioxin discharge from waste disposal and treatment facility. And we also investigate the relation between the effect of decrease of environmental load and the cost for the technology. For the evaluation, we assume the case of biogas and plastic liquefaction technologies.
