The high growth of Urban Solid Waste forces to seek measures to handle this waste. Applying advanced Thermochemical technology will take advantage of this waste in order to obtain Sustainable Energy. The objective of this study is to analyze the input, production and output behavior of this type of waste so that it can be transformed and used for energy purposes, based on the needs of the community. It is a quantitative, experimental study; after understanding the residual behavior of the community and applying the appropriate technology, it was obtained the quantified amount of energy (975'000 kWh) required for the different proposed scenarios. These scenarios are the use for public lighting, sale and domestic. The thermochemical method applied is not only efficient to extract energy from these wastes but also provides a compatible and environmentally friendly energy source. This energy source was used to supply a local school and 948 homes. The ideas es to achieve a paradigm shift, to avoid thinking that Urban Solid Waste that is generated from day to day is something useless; on the contrary, it is a vital source to provide a basic service for human beings. From a financial point a view, it is estimated that the initial investment will be recovered in the next 10 years, which, seen in the long term, is the useful life of the Pyrolysis plant due to working with the minimum raw material input standards.

“…Studies exploring the sensitivity of the necessary number of GAPs when the allowable threshold distance between a dwelling and its assigned GAP varies where performed in L'Aquila, Italy. Rathore et al [53] proposed a single objective mixed integer model to locate GAPs while minimizing the installment cost in Bilaspur, India.…”

“…Then, additionally to the objectives of minimizing the total average distance between the generator and the assigned GAPs and minimizing the number of bins installed, it aims to maximize the total amount of waste collected. This last objective is valuable in developing countries where generally the formal MSW system has to compete with informal collection [53,58]. Garbage source classification is not considered in this approach.…”

Municipal solid waste management is a major challenge for nowadays urban societies, because it accounts for a large proportion of public budget and, when mishandled, it can lead to environmental and social problems. This work focuses on the problem of locating waste bins in an urban area, which is considered to have a strong influence in the overall efficiency of the reverse logistic chain. This article contributes with an exact multiobjective approach to solve the waste bin location in which the optimization criteria that are considered are: the accessibility to the system (as quality of service measure), the investment cost, and the required frequency of waste removal from the bins (as a proxy of the posterior routing costs). In this approach, different methods to obtain the objectives ideal and nadir values over the Pareto front are proposed and compared. Then, a family of heuristic methods based on the PageRank algorithm is proposed which aims to optimize the accessibility to the system, the amount of collected waste and the installation cost. The experimental evaluation was performed on real-world scenarios of the cities of Montevideo, Uruguay, and Bahía Blanca, Argentina. The obtained results show the competitiveness of the proposed approaches for constructing a set of candidate solutions that considers the different trade-offs between the optimization criteria.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) directly impacts community health and environmental degradation; therefore, the management of MSW is crucial. Medical waste is a specific type of MSW which is generally divided into two categories: infectious and non-infectious. Wastes generated by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are classified among infectious medical wastes; moreover, these wastes are hazardous because they threaten the environment and living organisms if they are not appropriately managed. This paper develops a bi-objective mixed-integer linear programming model for medical waste management during the COVID-19 outbreak. The proposed model minimizes the total costs and risks, simultaneously, of the population’s exposure to pollution. This paper considers some realistic assumptions for the first time, including location-routing problem, time window-based green vehicle routing problem, vehicles scheduling, vehicles failure, split delivery, population risk, and load-dependent fuel consumption to manage both infectious and non-infectious medical waste. We apply a fuzzy goal programming approach for solving the proposed bi-objective model, and the efficiency of the proposed model and solution approach is assessed using data related to 13 nodes of medical waste production in a location west of Tehran.
