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.
