Abstract
This paper addresses the need for systematic and efficient South Korean metal waste management. The growing waste management market demands further research on managing metal waste effectively. This paper presents a mathematical model to efficiently handle mixable waste from the standpoint of an intermediate disposal facility. The model considers the specific characteristics of the mixable metal waste market in South Korea and optimizes the operation of the intermediate disposal facility. The mixable metal waste is a mixture of sludge or powder that can be further mixed and stored in a cluster according to specific element criteria. The model determines how to mix and send the waste cluster to the desired disposal facilities after drying. This model presents a solution with a reasonable time to assist the operation of an intermediate disposal facility in the real world. The model can accommodate changes in operational situations, such as changes in the candidates of discharge and disposal facilities, step function unit costs of disposal facilities, and constraints on inventory levels. In addition, we offer insights into various operational aspects, such as whether current contracts are worthwhile and which facilities to contract with for future use.
