“…For the general equilibrium model, prices and values are simultaneously adjusted to establish the equilibrium and optimization conditions, unlike traditional macro-level models such as linear programming models or input-output models (i.e., the income equilibrium condition, market clearing condition, and zero-profit condition) (Nie et al, 2020). In other words, prices and values in general equilibrium models are both endogenous variables, unlike in linear programming and input-output models (Boonmee et al, 2021). In other words, finding the endogenous variables was the primary goal of solving the general equilibrium model (i.e., equilibrium prices, values, and incomes) (Chien et al, 2021a).…”

Because of China’s global responsibilities to address climate change, the country has made a commitment to limiting the growth of future emissions using policy measures, such as funding mitigation research and regulating energy efficiency requirements directly. Extensions of these policies, such as the measures to improve energy efficiency, use of carbon taxes, and changes to the mix of electricity generation in the country, are also of interest to China. This article applied a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to examine the effects of such energy efficiency and climate change policy options in the post-COVID-19 era in the China economy. The study findings show that even modest measures can have significant effects on emissions with marginal economic impacts, given the current level of development in the China electricity generation and transportation sectors. It is estimated that a 5 RMB per ton carbon tax will reduce emissions by 4.1% and GDP by 0.27%. Emissions drop by 8.2% and GDP drops by 0.54% when energy efficiency increases by 2% across the China economy, respectively. As a final result, a 5% shift away from burning coal would reduce emissions by 9.0%, while GDP would increase by 1.3%. It has been shown that even low carbon taxes can encourage a notable cleaner energy system.

“…The mixed waste consists of wood chips, household materials, plastics, glass, and so on (Habib and Sarkar, 2018). Generally, the activities of mixed waste management involve collection, separation, recycling, transfer, and disposal (Boonmee et al, 2018;Boonmee et al, 2021). To prepare for all these activities, potential waste management facilities such as collection sites, separation sites, processing sites, recycling sites, landfill sites, incineration sites, and market sites should be determined (Karunasena et al, 2010).…”

“…Then, all or parts of the post-disaster waste may be transferred to incinerator sites or landfill sites for disposal, or parts of it may be processed further to be recycled and either sold or reused. Nevertheless, many countries have also developed different strategies that are more suitable to their circumstances (New Zealand Department of Labour, 2022; Boonmee et al, 2018;Boonmee et al, 2021).…”

“…Nowadays, carbon emission is a concern. Boonmee et al (2021) proposed postdisaster waste management with carbon tax policy consideration to reduce carbon during a disaster situation. Based on the literature, both the cost aspect and environmental aspect are quite important to post-disaster waste management.…”

“…Boonmee et al (2018) proposed a mixed integer linear programming model for integrating the on-site and off-site separation systems for recyclable materials for the post-disaster waste supply chain management. Then, Boonmee et al (2021) modified the model of Boonmee et al (2018) by adding consideration of the incineration sites and carbon tax policy. Based on the application of the mixed strategy for waste separation in Boonmee et al (2018) and Boonmee et al (2021), it is confirmed that the proposed strategy can balance the advantages of both approaches efficiently.…”

Post-disaster waste management is one of the most crucial tasks in the recovery phase of the disaster cycle, and it was created to assist affected communities in returning to a stable state following a disaster. To develop an efficient post-disaster waste management strategy, this study presents a multi-objective two-stage stochastic mixed integer linear programming model for post-disaster waste management. The proposed mathematical model was developed based on a mixed strategy of on-site and off-site waste separation in the supply chain. This study aims to minimize not only the total cost and the environmental impact to provide waste flow decisions and choose collection and separation sites, recycling sites, landfill sites, and incineration sites throughout the supply chain under the uncertain situation. To solve a multi-objective problem, a normalized weighted sum method is used to find the solution. A numerical case based on realistic data is presented to validate and verify the proposed model. Based on the numerical example, the results demonstrated that the implementation of the mixed strategy for waste separation with the consideration of uncertain situations can reduce the total cost, balance the environmental impact, and determine the unexpected situation in the post-disaster waste supply chain efficiently.
