Summary

During recent decades, European legislation has prompted the Member States the Integrated Management of Urban Waste as one way road, for their rational management. Waste Hierarchy has been established, in order of priority {Prevention-Minimize-Reuse - Recycle - Recover Energy-Final Allocation). Member States use the available methods of Waste Treatment Technology (Recycling, Biological Treatment, Composting, anaerobic digestion, heat treatment, land filling) in order to fulfill the legislated EU targets.With the latest European Directive, (Waste Directive), EU introduced the life-cycle-thinking (LCT) in the thematic strategies. Appropriate use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the best approach for calculating the overall Environmental Impact of a Waste Treatment technology or an integrated MSW management system.Software models, LCA specialized in waste management, might be used as a decision support for the development of technologies for a variety of issues in the management of solid waste. In this thesis, the model used to assess the environmental impact of waste management in Chania is ΕΑSETECH.The existing integrated waste management system of Chania is modeled in terms of LCA methodology, using the above software, so for the first time the environmental impact in the region be quantitatively and qualitatively calculated. Also an alternative scenario is compared with the current scenario of Waste Treatment in Chania Region.
