 Problem Statement
Solid Waste Management has been a big concern in developing countries like India. With 147,613 Kg waste generated
daily, the volume of waste generation will be expected to increase rapidly over the upcoming year. Only from the
national capital, 32000+ Kg per day of waste is generated.

Solid waste can be separated into three categories: (i) biodegradable waste or organic waste (food and kitchen waste,
green waste vegetables, flower, leaves, fruits and paper, etc.), (ii) inert and non-biodegradable waste (construction and
demolition waste, dirt, debris, etc.) and (iii) recyclable waste (plastic, paper, bottles, glasses, etc.).

On World Environment Day on 5 June 20XX, the Government of India announced a “National Strategy” for better waste
management policies. As per the strategy, Solid waste from each locality in Delhi will be send to separation plants
where the waste will be divided into biodegradable and recyclable waste. As per the strategy, there were 7 localities
which were identified as the high priority areas contributing almost 80% of Delhi’s daily waste generation per day.

Delhi has 5 separation plants. All the household solid waste collected is transferred to these separation plants to divide
the waste into Organic and Plastic waste. The Organic waste can be used as fuel for composting plant and the Plastic
Waste is send to recycling plant where they can be reused in other form. Delhi has just 2 Composting Plant (Organic
Waste) and 2 Recycling Plant (Recyclable Waste).

The aim of the National Strategy is to utilize these plants for maximum efficiency and have a network system to collect
the waste from households and minimize the transportation cost from household to recycling/composting plant.

 Variables
Project analysis
Decision Variables:
slide 8
WT1 is the amount of waste generated from locality/town 1 and WS1 is the amount of waste transferred to Separation plant
1. Here WTiWSj represents the amount of waste transported from town/locality I (i=1 to 7) to Separation plant J (j=1 to 5) in a
day.
Similarly, SPiCPj represents the amount of waste transported from Separation plant I (i=1 to 5) to Composting plant J (j=1,2) in
a day & SPiRPj represents the amount of waste transported from Separation plant I (i=1 to 5) to Recycling plant J (j=1,2) in a
day.
