Waste disposal systems are crucial components of environmental management, and focusing on this sector can contribute to the development of various other sectors and improve social welfare. Urban waste is no longer solely an environmental issue; it now plays a significant role in the economy, energy, and value creation, with waste disposal centers (WDCs) being a key manifestation. The purpose of this study is to measure the performance of WDCs in the state of Nuevo León, Mexico, with the aim of developing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies to strengthen and prepare the WDCs for the industrial developments in this state. By identifying environmental variables and undesirable factors, the efficiency and managerial capacity of 32 WDCs were assessed. The analysis revealed that 9 out of the 32 WDCs are technically efficient, while the remaining 23 require significant improvements. Using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique, an average efficiency score of 0.91 was found, with a standard deviation of 0.08. The managerial capacity analysis indicated that the highest-ranked WDC achieved an efficiency score of 1, whereas the lowest-ranked WDC scored 0.67. Finally, an operational map of development strategies was developed using the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and Matrix Impact Cross-Reference Multiplication Applied to a Classification (MICMAC) approach. The results indicate that four phases of development should be followed for real development and maturity of development in these WDCs, including Groundwork, Structuring, Development and Growth, and Smart Maturity.
废物处理系统是环境管理的重要组成部分，关注这个领域可以促进其他各个领域的发展，提高社会福利。城市废物不再仅仅是一个环境问题；它现在在经济、能源和价值创造中扮演着重要角色，废物处理中心（WDC）是一个关键的表现形式。本研究旨在衡量墨西哥新莱昂州 WDC 的绩效，旨在制定环境、社会和治理（ESG）战略，以加强和为该州的工业发展做好准备。通过确定环境变量和不良因素，评估了 32 个 WDC 的效率和管理能力。分析表明，32 个 WDC 中有 9 个在技术上是有效的，而其余 23 个则需要显著改进。使用数据包络分析（DEA）技术，发现平均效率得分为 0.91，标准差为 0.08。管理能力分析表明，排名最高的 WDC 的效率得分为 1，而排名最低的 WDC 的效率得分为 0.67。最后，使用解释结构模型（ISM）和矩阵影响交叉参考乘法应用于分类（MICMAC）方法开发了发展策略的操作图。结果表明，这些 WDC 应该遵循四个发展阶段，包括基础工作、结构、发展和增长以及智能成熟，以实现真正的发展和发展的成熟。
