Abstract
Lifestyle changes and increased demand lead to higher generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Due to complexity associated with handling MSW, generates the challenge for sustainable development. This study discusses the application of Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) in MSWM system for achieving sustainability. MOO model considers different objectives such as environmental impact, economic cost and social welfare simultaneously. The MOO problem helps the practitioners and academicians to develop system based on the balance among different objectives.
