“…It can be concluded that the most preferred alternative is A 1 . If analysis of the aggregated decision matrix is performed, it is not difficult to observe that alternative A 1 possesses the best results for C 2 , C 3 , C 7 , C 8, and reasonably good results for C 4 , C 6 . Comparing A 1 and A 3 (they are the first and the second ones in the ranking queue) we state that the alternative A 1 is better for the criteria C 2 , C 3 , C 4 , C 6 , C 7 , C 8 , and C 10 .…”

Abstract:The principles of sustainability have become particularly important in the construction, real estate maintenance sector, and all areas of life in recent years. The one of the major problem of urban territories that domestic and construction waste of generated products cannot be removed automatically. The above necessity induces the demand of systems and technologies for waste life cycle and proper disposal development. Siting of the waste incineration plant is a complex process, which includes all factors of sustainability principles. The selection of the construction area is a complex problem due to the existence of different tangible and intangible factors and the multiple alternatives available. Multicriteria decision-making methods (MCDM) present powerful and flexible techniques for the solution of many sustainability problems. In this paper, we propose a new extension of WASPAS method, namely WASPAS-SVNS. This extension is realized in the framework of the single-valued neutrosophic set that enables to represent and model the indeterminacy explicitly and the functions of the truth-membership, the indeterminacy-membership and the falsity-membership are not related to each other. The paper deals with the solution of the waste incineration plant siting problem due to the requirements of sustainability factors.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the new, little more popular in Poland of elements of environmental management. In the world literature one can find many examples of the use of LCA but mainly for comparison purposes. The paper presents results of LCA analysis made on the basis of data from a running incineration of sewage sludge. Performing a thorough analysis of this process enables improved operational system, including through a better use of the resulting products of combustion, as well as determining the impact of the thermal treatment of sludge on the environment and compared the results with data from the literature. To date, in Poland has not been carried out environmental impact assessments and the process of thermal treatment of both sludge and waste, based on the assumptions of LCA.

“…Increasing waste generation rates and environmental issues caused by inappropriate waste disposal created the need for establishing affordable, effective and truly sustainable solid waste management policies [8]. However, the implementation of effective and sustainable solid waste management in developing and transitional countries is an especially challenging process.…”
