A Comparison of Results among Waste Management Producers: A Case Study for the Process of Waste Management

Abstract

A mathematical model was applied to analyze cooperation among producers in waste management.• The Shapely value was used to show the potential cost to the waste producers in the case of cooperation. • A case study for the process of waste management was investigated.In this paper, we apply a mathematical model based on cooperative game theory to model cooperation among producers in waste management. Then, we use the Shapely value as a solution concept in a cooperative game to evaluate the cooperation existing among producers, in order to show the potential cost to the waste producers in the case of cooperation and reduce the overall costs of processing non-recyclable waste during the cooperation. Thus, this study concludes that all producers divide sanitary landfills or incineration of nonrecyclable waste, meaning that for each producer who earns more, there will be a greater contribution to the disposal or treatment of non-recyclable waste.

Small-Scale thermoelectric incinerator prototype for sustainable waste management and power generation

“…The chimney provides a designated path for the exhaust gases produced during incineration to exit the system safely. 3 Reactor cover The reactor cover seals the incinerator reactor, preventing the escape of flames, smoke, and harmful fumes during operation. 4 Thermoelectric peltiers These are solid-state devices positioned strategically within the system.…”

“…Conventional waste management methods, like landfills, are reaching capacity and pose environmental risks [1,2]. This necessitates a multi-pronged approach that includes waste minimization, recycling, and exploring alternative treatment options for non-recyclable waste [3]. One promising approach is the use of thermoelectric incinerators.…”
