This work investigates the operations of waste recycling centers where materials are collected by a fleet of trucks and then sorted in order to be converted in secondary raw materials. The activity is characterized by low margins, difficulties to track flows and uncertainties in supplies. Experiments are performed on instances taken from a real case in Italy and comparisons are made against different planning strategies.

Abstract

This work investigates the operations of waste recycling centers where materials are collected by a fleet of trucks and then sorted in order to be converted in secondary raw materials. The activity is characterized by low margins, difficulties to track flows and uncertainties in supplies. Experiments are performed on instances taken from a real case in Italy and comparisons are made against different planning strategies.
