Waste management (New York, N.Y.)·2017

This study introduces an optimization model for municipal solid waste (MSW) management, balancing economic and environmental factors. It helps find the most cost-effective and sustainable waste handling, treatment, and disposal strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Operations Research
  • Sustainable Waste Management

Background:

  • Growing environmental concerns necessitate advanced municipal solid waste (MSW) management.
  • Material and energy recovery are key drivers in modern waste planning.
  • Optimization techniques are increasingly vital for designing cost-effective waste management systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply a decision support system model for MSW management.
  • To integrate socio-economic and environmental considerations into waste management planning.
  • To evaluate various MSW management alternatives for optimal technology selection.

Main Methods:

  • Linear programming formulation within a dynamic optimization framework.
  • Accounting for waste generation rates, composition, collection, treatment, and disposal.
