Abstract
Waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies are widely used across the world to reduce the volume of waste entering landfills and recover energy. New technologies are emerging to recover additional value from WTE residue. LCA research in the area of WTE has recently expanded beyond technical feasibility and environmental impacts to include issues of equity, justice, social impacts, and stakeholder engagement. This chap-ter discusses new advances in WTE technologies and corresponding advances in life cycle assessment. The three pillars of sustainability (economy, environment, and society) methods for LCA in waste management systems are also presented.
