| Abstract | Because the resources of the world are already limited for the next periods, we have to produce, consume then produce and use again the one consumed. Thus the waste management which could be defined as recovery of used products is becoming very critical. The tools selected to evaluate alternative scenarios are an important part of the waste management models. Most waste management models consider economic and environmental aspects, but very few consider social aspects. For a waste management system to be sustainable, it needs to be environmentally effective, technologically reliable, economically affordable and socially acceptable. This study provides a multi-criteria decision making tool integrating Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy ANP to select the best scenarios for WEEE management. An illustrative application is also provided. The presented methodological framework provides to DMs an easy-to-use tool that could be employed either by producers of EEE or governments. The methodology has been successfully implemented for EEE case. However, the procedure could be easily adopted (with slight modifications) in order to solve similar problems in other environmental management fields, since waste management of certain waste streams is considered as significant environmental issue throughout the world. |
