A New Mathematical Model for Designing a Municipal Solid Waste System Considering Environmentally Issues
Nowadays, produced wastes in urban areas are growing exponentially all over the world. On the other hand, the environment and natural resources are on the way to destruction. One way to deal with increasing waste generation and protecting the environment is proper management of municipal solid wastes. One aspect of municipal solid waste management is locating the various facilities and the routing between them. In this study, a new mathematical model is developed for location-routing problem in MSWM system. Considering the integrity of MSWM facilities is the strength of this study. The proposed model meets two objectives including minimization of system costs and environmental impacts. In this model, the location of waste collection centers and reverse logistics centers are determined. In order to improve the efficiency and practicality of the proposed model, a solution method based on the NSGA-II is proposed. Also, a new method based on best worst approach developed to parameter tuning of NSGA-II. As a result, it observed that the total costs of the system increases exponentially as a result of increase in the volume of waste in sources. Numeral experiments indicate the efficiency of proposed algorithm in achieving approximate optimum solution in an acceptable time.
