Abstract

The growing issue of electronic waste (e-waste) necessitates management approaches that promote sustainability and resilience while reducing environmental effects, particularly considering global disruptions and pressure on manufacturers to implement extended producer responsibility laws. There is a research gap in our knowledge of the link between sustainability and resilience since most of the literature currently available on e-waste management focuses on either operational efficiency or sustainability. This study proposes multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology for controlling electronic waste requirements management policies to minimize ecological impact and improving resilience and sustainability. We use the EDAS methodology to rank the alternatives. The criteria weights are computed using the average method. This study collects 15 criteria and 10 alternatives to be evaluated by the proposed approach. The results show Environmental Protection criterion is the best and Community and Stakeholder Engagement criterion is the worst. The sensitivity analysis is conducted to show the stability of the ranks. 15 cases of criteria weights changing is used to apply the EDAS methodology under these new weights. The results show the ranks of alternatives are stable under different criteria weights.
