To answer this question, it is important to look at the problem from a life cycle perspective, taking into account resources as inputs and waste or pollutants as outputs of the circular economy solution. In order to assess the level of sustainability of a waste management system and to understand which are the best valorisation methods, I investigated the use of Life Cycle Assessment. This research method is very useful to compare different valorisation scenarios to understand which is the best or if a solution is not sustainable.
