Article Synopsis
  • Health-care waste management is a significant problem in municipalities, especially in developing cities, requiring complex decision-making to choose the best treatment technology.
  • The study introduces a new hybrid decision-making approach called interval 2-tuple induced TOPSIS (ITI-TOPSIS) that combines different assessment techniques to handle varying opinions and information uncertainties from decision makers.
  • An example from Shanghai demonstrates the effectiveness of ITI-TOPSIS in selecting optimal health-care waste disposal methods, showcasing its ability to address the complexities involved in the decision-making process.

Additionally, decision makers often use different linguistic term sets to express their assessments because of their different backgrounds and preferences, some of which may be imprecise, uncertain and incomplete.
