modelling food waste

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has done any sort of modelling for organic/food waste? Specifically looking at different environmental impacts for composting, anaerobic digestion, and land filling. I am new to open LCA and am not sure if the necessary data sets are available but any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy Carroll

Hi Andy,

I'm currently also looking at using OpenLCA for comparing different organic waste treatment technology and I do share the same questions as the one you posted! Did you receive any answer or find any documents, database or case-studies related to that?

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

Hi both,
you could check here for data sets:

But not yet studies or any other documents of course..
