The calculation of the total carbon footprint derived from
waste (glass, paper and cardboard, plastic, metals ferrous
and non-ferrous, organics), the contribution of each MSW
treatment option in terms of CO2e, and the GHG efficiency
measured as t CO2e/t generated MSW, complete the results
of the MSW indicator in terms of environmental impact
(especially for the air component). The comparison between
aggregated models and between different years (2010 and
2012) was also considered, while the results obtained for
Romania were found to be in the same range as in the case of
other countries, thus validating the methodological approach
