A new fuzzy multi-criteria decision making approach for municipal solid waste disposal options

The decision on how to dispose municipal solid waste (MSW) is debatable, since there are many uncertain variables, Currently, this issue is discussed deeply among researchers and practitioners worldwide. This paper focuses on the development of the new multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach...
