Abstract

Collaborating businesses are expected to be mutually beneficial and act as a single entity. It is possible to achieve the goals thanks to the businesses that come together in an industrial symbiosis network. Two (or more) businesses benefit in an industrial symbiosis relationship. The selection of enterprises in which industrial symbiosis can be established is a difficult task due to the different criteria that must be considered. In this study, the assessment of companies for industrial symbiosis is examined. The alternatives are evaluated with circular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers according to the criteria by experts, and a new circular intuitionistic fuzzy MCDM approach is developed. In addition to the existing literature, this study contributes to the circular intuitionistic fuzzy sets by proposing a new score function. This application is intended to guide future circular intuitionistic fuzzy MCDM approaches.
