| Process model | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Landfill (LF) | Calculates emissions, material use, and energy use associated with construction, operations, closure and post-closure activities, landfill gas and leachate management, and carbon storage. |
| 2 | Waste-to-Energy (WTE) | Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for the mass burn WTE process. |
| 3 | Gasification & Syngas Combustion (GC) | Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for the GC process (Produced syngas from gasification is combusted to produce electricity by steam turbine). |
| 4 | Composting (Comp) | Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for aerobic composting process and final use of compost. |
| 5 | Home Composting (HC) | Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for home composting process and final use of compost. |
| 6 | Anaerobic Digestion (AD) | Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery for anaerobic digestion process and final use of compost. |
| 7 | Single-Stream Material Recovery facility (SS_MRF) | Calculates cost, emissions, and energy use associated with material recovery facilities. |
| 8 | Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) | Calculates cost, emissions, and energy use associated with RDF prodcution facilities. |
| 9 | Reprocessing (Reproc) | Calculates emissions, mass flows, and resource use and recovery associated with recycling materials. |
| 10 | Transfer Station (TS) | Calculates cost, emissions, and energy use associated with Transfer Stations. |
| 11 | Single Family Collection (SF_Col) | Calculates cost, emissions, and fossil fuel use associated with MSW collection. |
