Environmental Performance Assessment of Decentralized Waste Sorting in Montreal

A dataset from October 2025 presents modelled results for an environmental and economic assessment of a decentralized recyclable waste treatment network. It was derived from Montreal's open data and models a treatment chain from household allocation to PET shipment. The study compares a baseline scenario against six decentralization scenarios.

Use Cases

• Compare environmental performance based on modelled scenarios of waste treatment decentralization.
• Analyze the economic assessment of a recyclable waste treatment chain from collection to final shipment.
• Model waste allocation and collection logistics for urban areas based on derived open data.
• Benchmark the impact of different decentralization strategies for PET recycling facilities.

Strengths

• Based on Montreal's open dataset, providing a real-world geographic context.
• Includes seven modelled scenarios (one baseline and six decentralization variants) for comparative analysis.
• Documents a complete modelled treatment chain from household allocation to final shipment.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the model is based on a source dataset of unspecified vintage.
