Hi,

fsatest way would be to create a novel waste treatment process with the waste flow you are generating as reference flow and two waste flows for those two options. Then, you divide the amount of waste "produced" by this supporting process equally and connect the respective providers. This should give rise to a 1:1 distribution of waste treatment options. Then you select in your original process this novel waste treatment option for your scenario analysis. If you want to be fancy, you can also use parameters here. In general, this approach is a bit similar to what ecoinvent is doing with its 'markets'.

Hope this helps
