A multicriteria approach for selecting the optimal location of waste electrical and electronic treatment plants

This paper presents multicriteria decision making approach for selecting the optimal location of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) treat-ment plants. Hesitant fuzzy set is used to deal with the situations in which the de-cision maker hesitates among several values to assess the alternatives. A hesitant fuzzy Hamacher geometric operator is proposed for producing a preference value for every waste electrical and electronic equipment treatment plant location alter-native across all selection criteria. An example is given for demonstrating the ap-plicability of the proposed multicriteria decision making approach for selecting the optimal location of WEEE treatment plants.
