Multi-Criteria Assessment of Landfill Mining Projects

There are currently no comprehensive assessments of landfill mining projects, nor any standardized assessment procedures that consider the multi-criteria requirements of projects of thiskind. In addition to a definition of the target system and the various cause variables, the selection and/or development of suitable procedures are based on spatial and temporal system limitations. As there is a range of different criteria and cause variables that must be considered in landfillmining projects, multi-criteria decision processes are a promising decision-making aid regarding their feasibility. Based on set requirements, aims and criteria, international literature research on the methodology of multi-criteria decision-making processes and discussions with experts, the following six processes were selected and subjected to a broad Evaluation.
