As difficult of creating landfill site, incineration which is one of the final disposal of waste is becoming important. however the problem has occurred in resource recovery facility. such as environment management plan and excess incineration. So efficient management of waste treatment becomes necessary. In this study, a LCA(Life Cycle Assessment) is conducted to identify and evaluate environmental impacts associated with the incineration of MSW(municipal solid waste) and its optimization of environment impact by relocating collect areas.

The methodology to analyse environment is LCA. LCA is a tool to examine the environmental consequences of making and using products or providing services, "from cradle to grave". This methodology consider the whole life cycle of target system. This study consider 1kg of MSW incineration for analysing environment impacts. As the result of GWP of target system is 7.04E-01kg CO2 eq./kg. the most significant factors in GWP are air emissions and energy for operate system. and through optimization of collect areas, expected to reduce 2.26E+06kg CO2 eq.
