Abstract: Continually increasing amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) and the limited capacity of the existing waste management system are serious problems that Phuket municipality must deal with. The optimal waste management system should bead opted. Explicit evaluation on environmental performance of the existing waste management system should be performed ahead of decision making with respect to planning and optimizing improvements or strategies. The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the environmental performance and identify critical factors relating to the environmental performance of the existing waste management system in Phuket. Life cycle assessment shows that landfilling contributes the highest potentials to global warming and photochemical ozone formation due to methane emitted from waste degradation. Besides landfilling, incineration plays a major role in contributing to the global warming potential due to the emission of fossil carbon dioxide from plastic burning.
