An Integrated Bipolar Picture Fuzzy Decision Driven System to Scrutinize Food Waste Treatment Technology through Assorted Factor Analysis

Food Waste(FW)is a pressing environmental concern that affects every country globally.About one-third of the food that is produced ends up as waste,contributing to the carbon footprint.Hence,the FW must be properly treated to reduce environmental pollution.This study evaluates a few available Food Waste Treatment(FWT)technologies,such as anaerobic digestion,composting,landfill,and incineration,which are widely used.A Bipolar Picture Fuzzy Set(BPFS)is proposed to deal with the ambiguity and uncertainty that arise when converting a real-world problem to a mathematical model.A novel Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation-Stable Preference Ordering Towards Ideal Solution(CRITIC-SPOTIS)approach is developed to objectively analyze FWT selection based on thirteen criteria covering the industry’s technical,environmental,and entrepreneurial aspects.The CRITIC method is used for the objective analysis of the importance of each criterion in FWT selection.The SPOTIS method is adopted to rank the alternative hassle-free,following the criteria.The proposed model offers a rank reversal-free model,i.e.,the rank of the alternatives remains unaffected even after the addition or removal of an alternative.In addition,comparative and sensitivity analyses are performed to ensure the reliability and robustness of the proposed model and to validate the proposed result.

Assessment of the Solid Waste Disposal Method during COVID-19 Period Using the ELECTRE Ⅲ Method in an Interval-Valued q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Approach

As the quantity of garbage created every day rises,solid waste management has become the world’s most important issue.As a result,improper solid waste disposal and major sanitary issues develop,which are only detected after they have become dangerous.Due to the system’s lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic,this scenario became much more uncertain.We are at the stage to develop and execute effective waste management procedures,as well as long-term policies and forward-thinking programmes that can work even in the most adverse of scenarios.We incorporate major solid waste(organic and inorganic solid wastes)approaches that actually perform well in normal cases by reducing waste and environmental disasters;however,in such an uncertain scenario like the COVID-19 pandemic,the project automatically allows for a larger number of criteria,all of which are dealt with using fuzzy Multi-Criteria Group Decision Making(MCGDM)methods.The ELECTRE Ⅲ(ELimination Et Choice Translating REality-Ⅲ)approach,which is a novel decision-making strategy for determining the best way to dispose and reduce garbage by combining traditional ELECTRE Ⅲ with an interval-valued q-rung orthopair fuzzy set(IVq-ROFS),is described in detail in this article.To confirm the efficacy of the recommended model,a numerical explanation is provided,as well as sensitivity and comparative analyses.Obviously,the findings encourage decision-makers in authorities to deliberate about the proposals before creating solid waste management policies.
