To move from a traditional end of pipe approach into a more sustainable solid waste management system, the Jordanian Government has recently passed a set of new regulations The National Solid Waste Management Strategy has put a road map to encourage circular economy practices. One of the considered policy instruments is the adoption of the extended producer responsibility (EPR). The current study aimed to adopt a multi-criteria decision-making method to select the most convenient EPR structure within the Jordanian context. The study used analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy AHP (FAHP) techniques to select the suitable type of producer responsibility organization (PRO) structure. A four-level hierarchy model was constructed with 4 criteria, 10 sub-criteria and 3 PRO alternatives. The analysis revealed that the legal and administrative criteria is the most important one (0.47) followed by environmental criteria (0.22), whereas the least important ones were socio-economic (0.17) and technical criteria (0.13). The most preferable PRO alternative was found to be PRO with profit. There were slight differences between all weight values under AHP and FAHP. Despite the availability of several laws, there is a need to develop the legal and administrative framework to enable the adoption of EPR in Jordan. Research should be the first step in the process of EPR system design. None of the previous studies conducted used the AHP and FAHP in assessing and selecting the EPR systems.

采用多标准决策方法，为约旦固体废物管理制定生产者延伸责任制度。

为了从传统的末端处理方法转向更可持续的固体废物管理系统，约旦政府最近通过了一系列新法规。国家固体废物管理战略制定了鼓励循环经济实践的路线图。考虑的政策工具之一是采用生产者延伸责任（EPR）。当前的研究旨在采用多标准决策方法来选择适合约旦情况的最方便的 EPR 结构。该研究采用层次分析法（AHP）和模糊层次分析法（FAHP）技术来选择合适的生产者责任组织（PRO）结构类型。使用 4 个标准、10 个子标准和 3 个 PRO 替代方案构建了四级层次结构模型。分析显示，法律和行政标准是最重要的标准（0.47），其次是环境标准（0.22），而最不重要的是社会经济标准（0.17）和技术标准（0.13）。最可取的 PRO 替代方案被发现是有利润的 PRO。AHP 和 FAHP 下的所有权重值之间存在细微差异。尽管已有多项法律，但仍需要制定法律和行政框架，以便在约旦采用 EPR。研究应该是EPR系统设计过程的第一步。之前进行的研究均未使用 AHP 和 FAHP 来评估和选择 EPR 系统。
