We proposed some tools for estimating the GHGs emission form waste recycling practices. We accumulated and compiled about 1500 kinds technologies for recovering and recycling of such as, paper, glass or plastic bottles; and steel or aluminum cans from various documents. Then, the database on these technologies was constructed and data on their energy consumption were analyzed. We developed the mathematical model for estimating the GHGs emission form collection and transportation of MSW by GIS data. The GHG emission from waste management strategies of some selected materials were also estimated by means of reviewing data on literatures and introducing USEPA's method to Japanese situation.
