Abstract
This paper presents multicriteria decision-making approach for selecting the optimal location of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) treatment plants. Hesitant fuzzy set is used to deal with the situations in which the decision maker hesitates among several values to assess the alternatives. A hesitant fuzzy Hamacher geometric operator is proposed for producing a preference value for every waste electrical and electronic equipment treatment plant location alternative across all selection criteria. An example is given for demonstrating the applicability of the proposed multicriteria decision-making approach for selecting the optimal location of WEEE treatment plants.
