Développement d'un outil paramétré pour l'optimisation environnementale de la séquence de traitement de matières résiduelles avec prise en compte de la qualité des flux de matière

In the context of a transition to a circular economy, there is a need for decision support tools that allow for prospective evaluation of waste management systems' environmental performances. The direct and indirect impacts as well as the environmental benefits of processes, particularly in waste management where the composition of material flows is heterogeneous and variable, are sensitive to their operating conditions, to the composition and properties of the incoming materials and to the quality of the recovery products substituted in the economy. The tools currently available for quantifying environmental impacts do not take all of these factors into consideration, nor do they do so in a Quebec context.
