The Life Cycle Assessment methodology is the most appropriate technique for evaluating municipal solid waste management systems. In recent times, its implementation has been spreading in different Latin American countries. So, this paper presents five applications of the Life Cycle Assessment methodology with the aim of evaluating the environmental performance of: a selective collection system for household waste in Spain; a waste electrical and electronic equipment management system, mainly focused on mobile phone devices, in Mexico; a construction and demolition waste management system in Argentina; the incorporation of selective collection in a municipal solid waste management system in Brazil; and finally, a municipal solid waste management system for household in Colombia. For each case study it has been made an inventory, identifying as a main handicap, the lack of inventory data in commercial databases adapted to different countries, different factions and different treatments of waste management. To solve this problem, inventory modeling has been performed as a combination of primary and secondary data. Finally, the contribution to different impact categories of stage of each life cycle waste management system has been obtained. Results provide a starting point for the selection and implementation of measures to promote the environmental improvement of waste management systems.
