Abstract

Recycling is known to most people as an activity in domestic waste separation with huge financial benefits. However, material reclamation flows at many scales play important roles in a number of industries. The waste generated from the plastic is a huge some, in which polyethylene is 34% of total plastic waste. So it is highly crucial to select the best plastic recycling process. Fuzzy AHP is a synthetic extension of classical AHP method when the fuzziness of the decision makers is considered. This article introduces a new approach which aims at a more realistic modelling by applying fuzzy values in the paired comparisons and for the ranking of recycling method. Selecting the best plastic recycling process is a demanding task as it comprises several criteria and attributes.
