The hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy ELECTRE III: An adaptable recycling method for plastic materials

In this research article, introduce a novel decision making method called HPF-ELECTRE method by extending the ELECTRE III (ELimination and Choice Expressing REality) method with HPF (Hesitant Pythagorean Fuzzy) set. The efficiency of the new method is testing in the plastic recycling problem. One of the most hazardous domestic materials is plastic. The low biodegradability nature of plastic is a serious threat to the environment and to human life. Plastic is a synthetic chemical that do not belong to the natural world. Owing to the non-biodegradability, the only way to deal with this modern-world problem is recycling. Finding a suitable recycling method for disposing and recycling plastic materials is a major research issue. Propose the HPF-ELECTRE III method to find out the adaptable recycling method for plastics materials. The outranking in HPF-ELECTRE III method expand on concordance and discordance acceptability value values. Established method is an effective tool for decision making problems. (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

Automated summary

The research introduces a novel decision making method called HPF-ELECTRE method, which extends the ELECTRE III method with HPF set for the plastic recycling problem. Plastic, being a non-biodegradable synthetic chemical, poses a serious threat to the environment and human life, highlighting the importance of finding suitable recycling methods. The HPF-ELECTRE III method, with its outranking based on concordance and discordance acceptability values, is proposed as an effective tool for addressing decision making problems in plastic recycling.
