AB  - Under the global implementation of a low-carbon economy, the treatment of 
      municipal plastic solid waste (PSW) has become an important task to be solved 
      urgently. In the actual decision-making process of PSW treatment, the evaluation 
      information is usually fuzzy, and the decision-makers (DMs) are bounded rational. 
      For selecting the most appropriate PSW treatment technology, we propose a 
      multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method based on cumulative prospect theory 
      and fuzzy decision-making trail and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). Firstly, we 
      construct the criteria system of PSW treatment that consists of 9 sub-criteria 
      from the perspectives of environment, economy, society, and technology. Then, 
      considering the interdependences and interactions between these evaluation 
      criteria and allowing multiple stakeholders to participate in decision-making, we 
      propose a fuzzy DEMATEL method to deal with the fuzziness of evaluation in the 
      decision-making process and determine the weights of the evaluation criteria. 
      Subsequently, taking into account the different opinions of different 
      stakeholders and psychological factors such as risk preference and loss aversion 
      of stakeholders, we aggregate the evaluation information of different 
      stakeholders and develop the PSW treatment alternatives to rank the orders by 
      using the proposed multi-actor cumulative prospect theory (CPT) method. We study 
      seven alternative processes for PSW treatment by the developed model, including 
      landfill, recycling, pyrolysis, incineration, and the combination of landfilling 
      and recycling, landfill and incineration, and recycling and pyrolysis. According 
      to the ranking results, we find the combination of recycling and incineration is 
      the best treatment alternative. We take the seven PSW treatment technologies in 
      Shanghai as the case study to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the 
      proposed method. Through the sensitivity analysis and comparison analysis with 
      fuzzy similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS) method and an acronym in Portuguese 
      of the interactive and multi-criteria decision-making (TODIM) method, we 
      illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method. This 
      research provides significant references for the PSW treatment technology 
      selection problems under uncertain environments and extends the methods in the 
      decision-making field.
