Abstract

As the population increases the amount of waste created is also increases. The significant portion of the total solid waste is plastic waste. Plastics are used by all sector people. They are non-biodegradable and so it cannot be returned to carbon cycle. Plastic wastes become threat to the environment. Waste plastic management is a large area of study. Numbers of methods are available to dispose the waste plastic. In this paper the best plastic waste management method is determined using Fuzzy AHP – Goal programming method. For this the criteria are selected and based on it the alternatives are evaluated by Fuzzy AHP methodology. Goal programming technique is used to derive weight vectors. Based on the weight vectors the alternatives are ranked and best one is identified.

Keywords
