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

This study introduces an optimization model for municipal solid waste (MSW) management, balancing costs and environmental impacts. It helps select the best combination of recycling, treatment, and disposal technologies for sustainable waste handling.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Operations Research
  • Waste Management Engineering

Background:

  • Growing environmental concerns and resource recovery needs are reshaping municipal solid waste (MSW) management.
  • Optimization techniques are increasingly used to design cost-effective waste management systems amidst uncertainties.

Purpose of the Study:

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

Main Methods:

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