transfer facilities can work as material processing facility where sorting, recovery, or recycling of specific material like plastic, metals, and fiber can occur. We assume that the transfer facility is where WTE conversion occurs. According to [4] refuse trucks traveled 25,690 miles annually which is equivalent to 98.8 miles per day. Considering the fuel economy of 4.8 mile per gallon (MPG) and carried payload of 9.8 wet tons of NRP, diesel consumption for treating 1 ton of NRP from collection to WTE facility is estimated as 2.1 gallons. Using the GREET model, we estimated GHG emission due transportation of NRP to WTE facility of 6,400 gCO2e per a t NRP.
