life data are provided for three scenarios: 100% of wood waste to

recycling, 100% of wood waste to incineration with energy recovery and

100% of wood waste to landfill. Wood transport distances to landfill and

recycling of 25km and 21km were taken from survey data related to

construction end of life practices in the UK compiled by BRE [BRE 2013].

Transport to wood energy recovery plants was estimated to be 46km based

on average transport to one of an estimated 25 suitable biomass or waste

energy plants.

The composition of the waste (water content, adhesive content) is taken into

account in the end-of-life modelling to reflect the characteristics of the

waste in each scenario, with adhesives modelled as inert in landfill.

Landfill gas production is modelled based on the MELMo

emissions in the UK. The values used in this project take into account

improvements to the assumptions regarding organic carbon degradation

suggested by Eunomia as a result of their review of MELMod for DEFRA

[Eunomia 2011]. Using typi
