A Decision Support Model for Establishing a Plastics Recycling Program.

Abstract

This research focuses on the development of a decision support model for the establishment of a plastics recycling program. The decision support model focuses on identifying the end-product uses and material specifications first. Once the end-product specifications have been identified, the recycling program can be designed. The model will provide solid waste managers an effective decision making tool to evaluate the economic feasibility of establishing a plastics recycling program.
