“…And last, in addition to the above research on e-waste, there are many studies that mainly proposed models to optimize the collection, recycling and disposal of e-waste, or proposed a reverse logistics network model for e-waste and solved it using some methods and technique. Some scholars also analysed the factors affecting the reverse logistics activities of e-waste and the current challenges, and made recommendations (Shrivastava et al, 2005;Mou et al, 2006;Lehtinen & Poikela, 2006;Yin, 2008;Wei & Zhang, 2008;Gamberini et al, 2009;Efendigil et al, 2012;Phuc et al, 2013;Yeh & Xu, 2013;Shokohyar & Mansour, 2013;Zeng et al, 2015;Elbadrawy et al, 2015;Capraz et al, 2015;Xia et al, 2016;Tesfaye et al, 2017;John et al, 2018).…”

The reverse logistics of municipal hazardous waste (RLMHW) have received close attention from researchers and practitioners alike, given the essential impact of safe transportation and effective management of hazardous waste on public health and environmental sustainability. There are a great number of studies in the extant literature on RLMHW, with many and diverse research topics; however, a concise and complete overview of the research works already conducted in this particular area is conspicuous by its absence. This paper strives to fill the gap through the conduct of rigorous systematic literature review of RLMHW in the past three decades, and then establish a framework of studies on RLMHW. The main contributions of this study are as follows: (1) to identify the trend of journals publishing research papers on RLMHW; (2) to extract the main topics in studies on RLMHW; (3) to locate the most popular research areas of RLMHW; (4) to summarize the methods adopted in studies on RLMHW; (5) to identify research deficiencies in certain categories of RLMHW; and (6) to establish the future research directions of RLMHW. The main implications of the study are to offer a better understanding of RLMHW by systematic crystallization of archival data in a systematic chronological order across central issues. This study contributes to scholarly debate in this field by serving as a snapshot paper to document the development of the field and gives input to policymakers in process design and policy making in the domain of RLMHW.

“…Good decision making is based on experience, testing and error or a comparison of various waste management integrated options [17]. While the optimal decision-making method allows you to choose nearly the optimal state, these methods are currently not applicable due to the increasing number of different combinations in the decision-making process, because decisions are taken without a scientific basis, where the results are not acceptable [18][19][20]. Based on the discussion, the contribution of the paper is described as follows:…”

“…Good decision making is based on experience, testing and error or a comparison of various waste management integrated options [17]. While the optimal decision‐making method allows you to choose nearly the optimal state, these methods are currently not applicable due to the increasing number of different combinations in the decision‐making process, because decisions are taken without a scientific basis, where the results are not acceptable [18–20]. Based on the discussion, the contribution of the paper is described as follows: To emphasise the need to assess the impact on economic environmental and social sustainability quality of reconfigurations by e‐waste treatment facilities. The mathematical model of the proposed decision‐making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method has been demonstrated for the decision making, estimation of transportation cost and reusability. To provide decision support methods for companies working on e‐waste management for the evaluation of reconfiguring E‐waste management systems (EMS) against sustainability criteria, particularly concerning the sorting of e‐waste. The remainder of the paper decorated as follows.…”

E‐waste is currently identified as the world's fastest‐growing waste stream. The key driver behind this trend is the rapid technological advancement and socio‐economic development. When hazardous chemicals are not properly handled, e‐waste may harm ecosystems and human well‐being. Direct effects include releases of acids, heavy metal toxicity, carcinogens and indirect effects such as heavy metal bio‐enlargement, acids enlargement and toxicity problems. In this study, a specific type of system is utilised to collect and transport the different types of hazardous e‐waste using sustainable transportation with the decision‐making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). The proposed method of DEMATEL is utilised to identify the relationship and the degree of impact among determined e‐waste recycling barriers. The experimental results suggest input material, lack of funds and most affecting factors that are required to be addressed for the improvement of e‐waste recycling infrastructure.

“…Moreover, the existence of qualitative and quantitative variables that demand attention in the decision process, the SST choice can be seen as a complex MDCM process. To assess the SST selection process, diverse MCDM techniques have been widely used in the previous literature: AHP was used [37] to ranked five electronic banking techniques encompassing ATM Banking, Phone Banking, Internet Banking, Mobile banking and SMS banking; Thamaraiselvan [32] applied AHP to prioritize ATM, Internet Banking, Mobile Banking; AHP and PROMETHEE [38] was combined to evaluate the performance of three electronics banking service ATMs, Telephone Banking, and Internet Banking; Amiri [39] investigated and explained effective factors for improving e-banking by using Fuzzy TOPSIS in Persian bank. The recent applications of Hybrid-MCDM or MCDM approach for various problems and issues considered are presented in brief and listed in Table 1.…”

Aims: Expansions of new technological innovations in networks, Self-Service Technologies (SSTs), are increasingly shifting the way customers interact with firms to create service. However, lots of service innovations have been unsuccessful to generate revenue due to lagging adoption issues. This research is to assess some of the critical variables that affect consumer choice of SST and to determine the best one given the most consumers' satisfactions for the criteria identified through the integrated AHP-TOPSIS framework that is a MCDM approach. Study Design/Methodology: This paper used Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to compute the weighting values and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to evaluate the SST's ratings through the helps of five experts in the fields. Place and Duration of Study: Togo, one of the developing countries in West Africa has been chosen for the duration of two weeks in December 2015. Results: It revealed that Purpose criteria (59.1%) with Fund Transaction sub-criteria (37.20%) to be the utmost significant factor that could aid banking customers in the choice of SST; Moreover, ATM was identified as the best alternatives behind Online Banking (O-B) and Mobile Banking (M-B) respectively. Conclusion:The main contribution concludes to the fact of how lower adoption rate is M-B in Togo.
