Optimization tool to maximize use of resources for environmental improvements to waste disposal sites

Abstract

incountries where resources are limited, especially in developing countries, it is important to use all available resources effectively and efficiently for the mitigation of environmental impacts caused by waste disposal sites. The aim of this paper is to present a tool for supporting decision making on environmental impact mitigation options. The proposed tool is designed to maximize short-term environmental improvements at waste disposal sites according to available resources. The process involves identifying environmental impacts caused by waste disposal activities and prioritizing these impacts using the analytical hierarchy process. The process then identifies mitigating options for eac..
