Research overview

Applies a DEA/AHP decision model to clay, HDPE, PVC and GCL cover options using performance, economic and environmental inputs. Its ranking is a case-study output that depends on the selected indicators, weights and market assumptions; it should not be treated as a universal material hierarchy.

Kontain’s reading note. Refer to the original paper for the authors’ full methods, findings and limitations.
