Abstract

An investigation on institutional waste was investigated at the pilot campus in the first step of the designing. In the next steps, a life-cycle assessment (LCA) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) were carried out to assess the potential of environmental impacts and to consider the economic aspects of solid-waste management.
