“…In Malaysia, it has been reported that the public is resistant to incineration as a result of its awareness of environmental pollution and the high operating costs that can result from using this technology (Manaf, Basri, & Basri, ). This underscores the need for a combination of options instead of the use of a single solid waste management option.…”

“…In addition to being the most frequent in the literature, environmental criteria are also the ones with the most sub-criteria (Figure 6), which are often not clearly and systematically selected (Manaf, Basri, & Ahmad, 2009). Some of these sub-criteria are strongly related to technical criteria, such as the waste reduction capacity or the energy recovery efficiency of the studied alternatives.…”

“…The high frequency of the sub-criterion "Pollution of water resources" (33%) may be attributed to one of the main environmental impacts of the dump or landfill through the pollution of groundwater and surface water. All of these sub-criteria represent some form of environmental impact, which can be summarized as an "ecological impact" sub-criterion (Soltani, Sadiq, & Hewage, 2015;Kharat, Raut, Kamble, Kamble, 2016;Thampi & Rao, 2015;Nixon, Dey, Ghosh, & Davies, 2013;Manaf, Basri, & Ahmad Basri, 2009).…”

This scientific article provides a comprehensive review of the main tools and criteria employed in Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) for achieving sustainable waste management. The objective of this study was to evaluate the most effective technology or combination of technologies for treating urban solid waste, along with the most used methodology for selecting such technologies. To achieve this, we conducted a systematic review of the literature, carefully selected relevant articles, and compiled data from various criteria studied to facilitate a comprehensive discussion and evaluation of the findings. The article evaluates the main tools and their combinations used in aiding decision-making in MSWM, in accordance with the objectives of the decision. The benefits of integrated waste management are highlighted, along with the challenges associated with its implementation. These challenges are inherent in each situation and must be evaluated individually, based on their characteristics. Optimizing sustainability criteria in MSWM can be achieved by searching for a technology implementation sequence. The article also synthesizes the frequency of each MSWM technology, such as landfill, incineration, anaerobic digestion, composting, gasification, pyrolysis, and recycling, being selected in decision-making in the literature. Furthermore, an analysis of the environmental, economic, social, technical, political, and administrative criteria and their sub-criteria in MSWM is carried out. It has been observed that Analytic Hierarchy Process and Life Cycle Assessment are the primary tools involved in multicriteria decision-making for Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM). Moreover, these tools demonstrate ease of integration with other methods, showcasing their flexibility and comprehensiveness. While the combination of MSWM technologies is a common goal in the studies examined, integrating a larger number of technologies poses challenges. Finally, the most frequently studied criteria in MSWM, in descending order of frequency, are environmental, economic, social, technical, and political/legislative/administrative aspects. Therefore, it is crucial to explore the less frequently studied criteria to overcome barriers and establish a more sustainable management approach for urban solid waste. In conclusion, the article suggests future work, including the development of a model that assists in the technology implementation sequence and assessing the feasibility of integrating the largest number of MSWM technologies. Although gaps exist in the literature on MSW issues and potential solutions, this review provides valuable information for decision-makers in MSW planning and in the search for scenarios that demonstrate superior performance.

“…This led to objections and protests from affected communities. One of such a case is the protest against the installation of an incinerator in Selangor Malaysia [11]. To involve all stakeholders in the waste management decision making process, researchers have used various techniques or models [1,12].…”

: Management of solid waste involves collection, transportation, treatment and safe disposal to landfills. These activities create a lot of impacts to the environment and most of the time impose social and financial burden on authorities handling solid waste management as well as the community. Local authorities managing waste are confronted with problems, protests and resistance from the public because of difference of views and perceptions on impacts created by waste management plans. This paper assesses some environmental, social and economical impacts viewed by stakeholders in the city of Johor Bahru Malaysia. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP), a multi-criteria decision making analysis tool is used to evaluate the views of the stakeholders with the aid of super decision software. Stream ecology, flora and fauna, habitat depletion, land use and air quality are ranked higher for environmental factors/impacts. Public awareness health and safety, population size and cooperation from the public dominate the social factors. Regulation, landfill capacity, operation and maintenance cost and capital cost dominate economic factors/impacts. Four alternative disposal plans (landfilling, recycling, incineration, composting) were proposed and ranked according to the priorities of the stakeholders. Incineration and recycling were preferred to landfilling and composting disposal options.
