Apartment Waste Disposal Sustainable Facility Location Using ENTROPY Method

Abstract

Global organizations are concerned about sustainability. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) strategy, which focuses on the environment, society, and economy, has been extensively discussed in the literature to address sustainability. Apartment garbage is inherently dangerous and contagious for the environment and society, making its appropriate disposal a crucial duty for waste management companies. Therefore, in the current study, the criteria connected to the sustainability’s TBL, including other criteria, have been discovered via literature analysis and field survey for the placement of urban apartment waste disposal facility in order to make it sustainable and economical. Additionally, ENTROPY was employed to conduct this study. As a result, the current work contributes theoretically, in terms of criteria, as well as methodologically, to the choice of a location for a waste disposal plant that is sustainable. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
