Title: Developing a Sustainable Solid Waste Management Strategy framework for developing countries
Abstract: Solid waste management (SWM) indicators are considered essential for monitoring, evaluating, and understanding the prevailing problems in a SWM system. On the other hand, decision support tools are required to come up with a strategy to implement changes or expanding the current waste management system. Sustainability indicators consider three pillars of sustainability and convey information about one or more of these pillars i.e. social, environmental, and economic. These indicators are powerful tools to assess impacts on environment, society, and economy. Our research looks into developing a decision-making framework to assess the sustainability of SWM sector using a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process. We have assigned variable weightage to all three dimensions of sustainability as well as all the indicators based on the survey conducted with the help of experts in SWM industry.
