description | This article presents socio-economic, energetic and CO(2) emissions' impact by considering a large-scale integrated plant to treat Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP); the most important Brazilian macro-region. As an alternative to landfills, this plant offers a source of renewable energy and a good assessment of benefits the circular economy provides. Based on the most recent interregional economic transactions data, the proposed Input-Output model has shown reductions in the local energy demand (-0.31%), carbon emissions (-3.40%). On the other hand, it has suggested gains in the GDP (+0.21%) and formal job positions (+0.08% or 10.6k) when recyclables are introduced massively in the economy. |
