The evaluation and selection of recycling technologies presents one of the most important operational management problems. In this paper, a new fuzzy model to evaluate recycling technologies with respect to numerous criteria, simultaneously, taking into account the type of each criteria and its relative importance. The relative importance of criteria and their values are modelled by interval triangular fuzzy numbers type-2. Determining the criteria weights is stated as a fuzzy group decision making problem. The ranking of considered recycling technologies is obtained by applying modified ELECTRE. A case study with real-life data which come from reverse supply chain existing in the Republic Serbia is presented to illustrate the proposed method. The presented solution enables the ranking of recycling technologies and provides base for successful improvement of reverse supply chain management.
