A Bi-Objective Model for the Location and Optimization Configuration of Kitchen Waste Transfer Stations

Since the implementation of China’s mandatory waste sorting policy, the recycling of kitchen waste has become one of the core tasks of waste classification. The problem of designing the locations and the optimization configuration strategy for kitchen waste transfer stations faces great challenges i...

description Since the implementation of China’s mandatory waste sorting policy, the recycling of kitchen waste has become one of the core tasks of waste classification. The problem of designing the locations and the optimization configuration strategy for kitchen waste transfer stations faces great challenges in reconstructing the municipal solid waste collection and transportation system. This paper establishes an integer programming model for the bi-objectives of the location and optimal configuration for a kitchen waste transfer station, with the goal of minimizing the total cost and overall negative environmental impact. An improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm with an elite strategy (NSGA-II) is used to solve the problem, resulting in a Pareto-optimal solution set that includes several non-dominated solutions, thereby providing diversified choices for decision-makers. Finally, a pilot case involving cooperative enterprises is used as an example in this study, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the model and algorithm, as well as their feasibility in practice.
