“…Every individual is entitled to have less health impacts of environmental problems yielded from any waste treatments. The social aspects like their behavior are considered in the process of decision making on a new policy of waste treatment (Fetanat et al, 2019). Shams et al (2017) suggest the need for reviewing the waste management policy since there is an urgent driver to enforce the policy for the producer of waste.…”

“…Kontogianni and Moussiopoulos (2017) claimed the waste workers' conditions in terms of hard skill and soft skill, educational background, environmental behavior influence the SWM assessment. Fetanat et al (2019) suggested the selection of waste-to-energy technologies to SWM depends on social and environmental aspects. However, prior studies are lacking the integration in relating all sustainability principles.…”

Establishing sustainable waste management in healthcare industries is challenging as the social, economy, environmental dimension in the sustainability needs to be complied. However, prior studies have proposed indicators to build the sustainable waste management without addressing a systematic manner leading to bias and considering the environmental dimension to drive stakeholder’s behavior. This study aimed to determine how environmentally friendly behavior affects the sustainable waste management in the healthcare industries. There were 874 articles collected from the databases consisting of PubMed, Sciencedirect, Scopus, SAGE and Ebscohost after removing the duplicates and 8 articles claimed to meet the inclusion criteria. The environmentally friendly behavior is driven by stakeholders’ consciousness towards environmental practices, strong belief, awareness, knowledge and perception. The behavior needs to be reinforced by regulations and institutions and improved by training and education in order to develop the sustainable waste management. Theoretically, this study contributes to sustainable waste management by addressing more on environmentally friendly behaviors of all actors. In managerial implication, this study also offers considerations for firms on the areas which need to be improved to gain sustainable practices

“…Burning waste is mainly used for organic materials and non-recyclable dry wastes. Fetanat et al (2019), proposed a framework for selecting technologies to convert waste to energy in Iran. Haraguchi et al (2019) proposed a new quantitative model to analyze the profit and loss of urban waste-to-energy conversion systems.…”

Purpose Waste production and related environmental problems have caused urban services management many problems in collecting, transporting and disposal of waste. The purpose of this study is to design a new model for municipal waste collection vehicle routing problems with time windows and energy generating from waste. To this purpose, a bi-objective model is presented with the objectives of increasing the income of waste recycles and energy generation from waste and reducing emissions from environmental pollutants. Design/methodology/approach A bi-objective model is presented with the objectives of increasing income of recycles trade and energy generation and reducing emissions from environmental pollutants. Concerning the complexity of the model and its inability to solve large-scale problems, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithms and multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithms are applied. Findings In this research, an integrated approach to urban waste collection modeling that coordinates the various activities of waste management in the city of Kermanshah and energy generation from waste are provided. Besides, this study calculates the criteria that show the environmental effects of municipal waste. The proposed model helps to collect municipal wastes in the shortest possible time in addition to reducing the total cost, revenues from the sale of recycled materials and energy production. Originality/value The proposed model boosts the current understanding of the waste management and energy generation of waste. The paper adds additional value by unveiling some key future research directions. This guidance may demonstrate possible existing and unexplored gaps so that researchers can direct future research to develop new processes.

“…The applicability of proposed model is demonstrated by a case study of the technology selection in the city of Behbahan, Iran. It includes various technologies for waste-to-energy generation and ranks technologies from the most to least preferred as: Anaerobic digestion, Gasification, Pyrolysis, and Incineration [19]. In recent decades, municipal solid waste (MSW) management has become one of the major concerns of human societies.…”

Clustering of investment projects is an essential step in the process of planning the investment projects of organizations. Choosing the right project portfolio has a direct impact on the profitability and other strategic goals of organizations. Factors affecting the clustering of investment projects are many and the use of traditional methods alone cannot be useful, so it is necessary to use a suitable model for clustering projects and investment plans. The purpose of this research is to analysis investment projects of the Tabriz Municipality Waste Management Organization. Methodology: This research is a descriptive -survey method in terms of its objectives. The method used is Fuzzy clustering (FCM), in which the first large investment projects in waste management using the background of participants in research and investment clusters(3 clusters) using the FCM clustering approach is determined, then the priority of the appropriate investment methods (from 6 methods) of each project was obtained using expert judgment and other aspects. Due to the need for planning and clustering of investment projects, using the opinion of experts (10 experts), the importance of projects with ecological perspective was examined. Findings: The result of the research has been that Recycled tire recycling, Glass recycling, Electronic waste recycling, Plastic recycling and Construction project of a specialized recycling town are important projects that located in the first cluster and under normal circumstances, three investment methods, civil partnership agreements, BOT, and partnership contracts (property from the municipality) can be used for them. Originality/Value: Tabriz Municipality Waste Management is an important and influential organization in the activities of the city, in which the investment methods in its projects are mostly based on common contracts and are performed in the same way for all projects. This research offers new methods for projects and their diversity according to clustering technique.
