“…A relevant aspect is that TS also reduced energy consumption by 38% and toxic components emission into the air and water due to lower fuel consumption, resulting from fewer trips (Rafiee et al, 2011). The insertion of TSs within ISWM demonstrates profitability (Greco et al, 2015;Lin et al, 2020), effectiveness (Galan et al, 2013), and economic and environmental efficiency (Bovea et al, 2007). To achieve it, TSs need to be correctly located in the territory and looked up holistically, because it is not only based on the costs but also the environmental problems and social affairs, to prevent the occurrence of irreversible consequences (Azadeh et al, 2019).…”

To guarantee a dignified life in low-incoming countries where socio-environmental negative implications derived from the municipal solid waste (MSW) by its excessive generation, lack of governance, and financial resources, sustainable and integrated solutions are required. From this perspective, well-located transfer stations (TSs) are conceived as an alternative to improve MSW management quality in municipalities that generate little MSW and have long transportation distances. Consequently, this research aims to find optimum areas to locate TSs in the province of Azuay-Ecuador as a commonwealth proposal. It applies a multi-criteria decision analysis based on geographic information systems with the analytical hierarchical process technique: a heuristic and scalable method that simultaneously evaluates subjective and non-monetized inputs. The authors faced it from a holistic perspective in a three-level hierarchical structure; starting from categories: technical, environmental, economic, and social; then criteria: rivers, protected areas, populated areas, land use, educational centers, health centers, tourist sites, basic services, roads, gravity centers, geology, power grid, and slopes; and finally, sub-criteria defined by criteria´s measurable attributes. This research provides local decision-makers with middle-scale tools and a first diagnosis to focus later efforts in local studios over potential sites. The results showed that 79.12% of the study area was restrictive to place a TS. The remaining territory suitability index values between 13 and 89% were found, with possible TSs at Paute, Sigsig, and Nabón to serve nine from fifteen cantons.

“…Without considering the uncertainty of the recycling environment, the design of the recycling path for construction waste mainly considers two aspects: (1) the flow among supply sites, treatment plants, and landfill sites, and the waste treatment capacity and capability of all sites; (2) the demands of construction waste recycling stakeholders [15,16]. Stakeholders in construction waste recycling include the construction side (supply side), treatment plant (demand side), and local government, all of which have different interests.…”

The world produces a huge amount of urban construction waste each year. Scientific planning of the construction waste recycling path is urgently needed to improve the recycling of construction waste. Existing construction waste recycling models do not pay sufficient attention to the uncertainty of the recycling quantity, which limits their ability to provide support for solving practical problems. The purpose of this paper is to solve the problem of uncertain recycling quantities in optimizing the urban construction waste recycling path. Thus, this paper first builds a recycling model for a deterministic environment with the economic objective as the decision criterion and the transportation flow, construction waste treatment capacity and capability, and environmental and social impact as the constraints. Then, a robust optimization method is adopted to optimize the deterministic model for the uncertainty of the recycling quantity. The data of this paper are from Nanjing, China. The validity of the model and the evolution of the recycling path are tested based on the data of Nanjing. The findings of this paper are as follows: Firstly, the robust model is cost-effective in the face of uncertainty in supply. Secondly, the robust model has greater total treatment capacity. Even in the worst-case scenario, it can guarantee a higher treatment capacity. Thirdly, both models follow the proximity principle which reduces the transportation costs and only slowly increases the total cost of the robust model. This paper provides a scientific and convenient tool to plan the recycling path of construction waste in large cities.

“…The development of larger networks could potentially make WPOs sufficient in negotiating larger volumes and ensuring supply regularity to the market, which would then enable a sufficient volume in a given area to overtake brokerage structures (Dutra, Yamane, and Siman 2018). To increase commercialization capacity and reduce transportation costs, construction and demolition management system (Lin et al 2020), but any study explore the WTS creation to expand WPO network.…”
