This study applies multicriteria mathematical modeling to optimize municipal solid waste
(MSW) management across a three bottom-line (BL) framework: environmental, social and …

Purpose We extend a life cycle assessment (LCA) embracing both economic and social
perspectives to develop an integrated solid waste management system for Kuwait. This …

Unsustainable waste management practices impose severe environmental hazards, health
risks, and financial burdens. Waste valorization systems have emerged to mitigate the …

Since to 1990, Urbanization has occurred due to an increase in the number of unpredicted
citizens and migration from the countryside to the city. This has resulted in the development …

The development of sustainable solid waste management (SWM) systems requires
consideration of both economic and environmental impacts. Societal life-cycle costing (S …

Life-cycle assessments (LCAs) of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) systems are
time-and data-intensive. Reducing the data requirements for inventory and impact …

Mathematical models of integrated solid waste management (SWM) are useful planning
tools given the complexity of the solid waste system and the interactions among the …

Abstract Communities throughout the United States are struggling to develop efficient and
cost-effective plans for managing their municipal solid waste (MSW). In the past, waste …

Solid waste management (SWM) is an integral component of civil infrastructure and the
global economy, and is a growing concern due to increases in population, urbanization, and …

Integrated management of municipal solid waste (MSW), potentially generated by multiple
sectors with varying waste compositions, can be a complex task when considering a wide …
