“…The implementation of an integrated management system of MSW for urban hygiene services involves the process of waste minimization at the point of generation, safe disposal and promotes the economic exploitation of waste as recoverable materials or as a source of energy, with both economic and environmental advantages [32,33]. In recent years, several studies have been conducted in which various stages of the waste management process of hazardous waste, such as electronic garbage [34] or waste arising from health facilities [35,36], have been implemented and optimized in order to encourage recovery or proper disposal. Waste minimization is a strategy to reduce waste, usually through source reduction but also by the recycling and reusing of materials [37,38].…”

Residual municipal solid waste (RMSW) is a rapidly expanding problem worldwide and a good waste management system could reduce concerns about its correct treatment. The purpose of this study was to characterize RMSW from urban and rural areas with the ultimate goal of estimating the recycling potential of the identified fractions and implementing waste collection and recovery methods according to the type of area that generates them. A direct sampling campaign of RMSW was performed. The results showed that the highest organic waste rate was found in the rural area (11.9%); urban-area-produced RMSW mainly constituted recyclable fractions such as plastic (26.3%), paper (21.8%), glass (3.5%) and metals (3.3%). The physical-chemical characteristics of RMSW showed levels of heavy metals below the detection threshold. The conditions necessary for composting could be met only for the organic fraction coming from rural areas as demonstrated by a pH value of 6.9 and a moisture content of 46.5%. These data will be extended to all the urban and rural areas to design appropriate disposal and/or recovery plants with profitable economic interventions that will lead to a reduction in costs in the planning of the integrated solid waste management.

A number of factors have contributed to the increase in waste production and diversity of waste, such as the increase in population, alterations in consumption patterns, economic development, income changes, urbanization, and industrialization. The production of different types of waste, such as electronic, urban, hospital, and industrial waste, makes it necessary to classify waste accurately and recognize effective criteria for waste management. To design and operate waste management systems, it is necessary to understand the sources and types of waste, as well as information about their composition and rate of production. As a result, this study aims to rank 21 types of waste according to Iran’s economic, social, and environmental criteria, as well as 13 sub-criteria related to those criteria. For this aim, proposed a novel decision-making approach based on the extension of the base criterion method (BCM) and combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) methods under fuzzy Z -numbers. Additionally, sensitivity analysis and comprehensive analysis are conducted on the results of the criteria and alternatives of sustainable waste management. Based on the results of this study, direct profit and reduced landfill are the most important criteria for assessing sustainable waste management alternatives. According to the results of this study, the sub-alternative of industrial metal waste is the most important waste management option. Examining the next sub-alternative ranks under sustainable waste management options (mobile, communication equipment, and battery) shows that electronic waste requires more attention for recycling and sustainable waste management.
