20 Case study: Comparison of the data sets: actual situation and OPTION lorry! 20

21 Case study: Proposal for the future transport of waste! Process 1: Transport of waste between Wimmis and Thun Proposal: Based on the comparative LCA for the process 1 'transport of waste' between Wimmis and Thun the following proposal is given: changing the combined transport (railway/lorry) to a pure lorry transport. Reason: Per functional unit the reduction of emissions are: for NOx: kg, for PM10: kg and for CO2: kg. 21
