Summary
This study introduces a new multi-criteria decision-making model to identify effective inorganic solid waste (ISW) disposal methods in India. The research aims to improve sustainable waste management and reduce environmental strain from increasing consumption.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Waste Management
- Decision Science
Background:
- Rapid population and industrial growth have led to increased product consumption and a surge in municipal solid waste (MSW).
- Inadequate waste management resources exacerbate the problem, causing exponential growth in inorganic solid waste (ISW) and significant environmental and health risks.
- There is a critical need for sustainable waste management strategies to mitigate environmental impacts and enhance waste disposal efficiency in India.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze and identify the most effective techniques for disposing of inorganic solid waste (ISW) in India.
- To develop and apply a novel multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach for ISW disposal strategy selection.
- To provide a robust framework for informed decision-making in waste management.
Main Methods:
- Development of a fusion decision model combining the FULL COnsistency Method (FUCOM) and Multi-Attributive Border Approximation area Comparison (MABAC).
- Application of the interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy (IV q-ROF) set theory within the decision-making framework.
- Utilizing MCDM to evaluate and rank ISW disposal alternatives based on multiple criteria.
Main Results:
- The developed FUCOM-MABAC fusion model, based on IV q-ROF, provides a systematic approach to ISW disposal technique selection.
- The model's robustness was demonstrated through a comparative analysis, highlighting its effectiveness in complex decision scenarios.
- Identified key criteria and their interrelationships for optimizing ISW disposal in the Indian context.
Conclusions:
- The proposed FUCOM-MABAC IV q-ROF model offers a powerful tool for selecting optimal ISW disposal strategies.
- This research contributes to advancing sustainable waste management practices in India.
- Effective ISW management is crucial for environmental protection and public health, requiring advanced decision-support systems.
