Abstract: Evaluation of the proper and appropriate hazardous industrial waste transportation firm (HIWTF) is a vital problem for hazardous waste generators as hazardous and toxic industrial wastes may cause extensive damage to both humans and the environment when improperly handled. In general, many conflicting factors affect the appropriate HIWTF selection problem which adheres to uncertain and imprecise data. In this paper, a simple, systematic and logical scientific approach is structured to evaluate HIWTF through integrating fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) with the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE). The proposed decision-making approach takes advantage of the synergy between these two well-known multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods in which their strong and weak points are detected and a ranking is provided which facilitates the final selection for the decision maker. To accredit the proposed model, it is implemented in an automotive battery manufacturing company in Bangladesh.
