The main objective is to maximize profit and provide waste management decision support in order to minimize pollution.
The Bureau of International Recycling, a Brussels-based trade association with 500 members, including many of the world's largest scrap and waste management companies, supports greater regulation in China, said Francis Veys, the group's director general.
In theory, the Brazilian solid waste management legislation supports recycling cooperatives and promotes avoidance, reuse, and recycling as a primary solution tackling waste.
In addition, field data showed that cleaner production practices at the production area enable circular economy practices to be implemented at the micro-level, as well as there is a connection with other circular economy areas (i.e. waste management, consumption, and support).

To obtain a snapshot of these studies, this paper gives a review on recent developments, applications, challenges, and barriers associated with inexact programming techniques in supporting waste management.
Su et al. ([2010]) developed an inexact chance-constraint mixed integer linear programming (ICMILP) model for supporting waste management in Foshan, China.
Tan et al. ([2010b]) developed a radial-interval linear programming (RILP) approach for supporting waste management under uncertainty, which introduced the concept of fluctuation radius (uncertain information at the bounds of interval parameters) to the conventional interval-parameter linear programming framework.
