Interactive strategy of carbon cap-and-trade policy on sustainable multi-objective solid transportation problem with twofold uncertain waste management

Shyamali Ghosh et al.

Summary: An integrated multi-objective environment is investigated in this paper to evaluate a waste management problem in order to develop sustainability. Three objective functions are optimized, including cost, time, and carbon emission. Cap and trade policy is used to reduce carbon emission and provide economic opportunities. A strategy is proposed to optimize sustainability factors in solid waste management. Numerical problems are evaluated using advanced methods and Pareto-optimal solutions are obtained, suggesting the complexity of applying cap and trade policy or waste management in real-world situations. The overall conclusion recommends utilizing carbon policies to minimize carbon emissions and establish waste management projects based on sustainability.

Sustainable resilient recycling partner selection for urban waste management: Consolidating perspectives of decision-makers and experts

Gholamreza Haseli et al.

Summary: In sustainable waste supply chains, selecting recycling partners is crucial. A framework that considers both sustainability and resilience factors is developed to improve the decision-making process. Multi-criteria decision-making methods are useful tools, but the capability to support efficient group decision-making has been a disadvantage. Therefore, a novel approach using ZE-numbers and a combined compromise solution is proposed.

An ant colony optimization based on local search for the vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup-delivery and time window

Hongguang Wu et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new optimization algorithm called ACO-DR based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Simultaneous Pickup-Delivery and Time Window (VRPSPDTW). ACO-DR improves the search probability and global search ability by designing a random transition rule and introducing destroy and repair strategies to avoid falling into local optima. Experimental results show that ACO-DR outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms on Solomon benchmark and Gehring-Homberge benchmark, providing an effective solution for VRPSPDTW problem.

Multi-objective closed-loop green supply chain model with disruption risk

Kazi Wahadul Hasan et al.

Summary: The benefits of the circular economy are driving industries to form closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs) that minimize cost and environmental impact. However, disruptions in the production process hinder the attainment of these objectives. This study develops a complex mathematical model to minimize total cost, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and waste generation by considering disruption risks. Three existing heuristics and an updated hyper-heuristic algorithm are employed to compare their efficiency and effectiveness. The results show that CLSCs can mitigate production shortages and reduce costs, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and waste generation.

Carbon mechanism on sustainable multi-objective solid transportation problem for waste management in Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment

Shyamali Ghosh et al.

Summary: Waste management plays an important role in various fields of the global ecosystem, contributing to a greener environment and sustainable development. In this study, a multi-objective solid transportation model is proposed for waste management in the agriculture and forest departments, targeting urban and rural development. The objective functions considered in this model are transportation cost, job opportunities, and carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are constrained by a combination of carbon mechanisms including carbon tax, cap-and-trade, and offset policies. Realistic processes often involve various critical situations and uncertainty in related data, for which a Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment is preferred over single uncertainty. A ranking approach is then used to convert uncertain data into crisp data. Two industrial applications are studied to validate the model and select the best carbon mechanism policy, utilizing fuzzy programming and Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy programming to derive the Pareto-optimal solutions. The study includes comparative analysis, model validation, sensitivity analysis, managerial insights, and conclusions, along with future research directions.

The Multi-objective Solid Transportation Problem with Preservation Technology Using Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets

Shyamali Ghosh et al.

Summary: The motive of this study is to validate the effectiveness of preserving perishable items in a transportation system. We introduce a preservation technology (PT) with cost to decrease the deterioration rate and extend the lifetime of the items. By initiating a multi-objective transportation problem connected with PT, we consider various criteria such as transportation cost, preservation cost, time, and deterioration under a Pythagorean fuzzy environment. Two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the applicability of our approach, which is solved using the epsilon-constraint method, neutrosophic linear programming, and fuzzy TOPSIS approach.

Kangyin Dong et al.

Summary: This paper examines the changes and driving factors of global ICT-embodied CO2 emissions using the multi-regional input-output (MRIO) method and structural decomposition analysis (SDA) method. The results indicate that CO2 emissions intensity and final demand composition are the main factors influencing ICT-embodied CO2 emissions. Furthermore, heterogeneity in countries and sectors has an impact on ICT-embodied CO2 emissions. However, it is challenging for most countries to reach the peak of ICT-embodied CO2 emissions before 2050 under the current development pattern.
