Energy from Waste is being deployed in both developed and developing economies as a route to reduce dependency on fossil fuels whilst making positive use of resources which might otherwise be landfilled. Energy from Waste supply chains are complex, with a rich diversity of partners and stakeholders involved. For this purpose, the selection of appropriate criteria to guide supply chain design, and in particular the selection of suppliers, is critical for success. In this study, a three-stage process was conducted to identify, refine and validate an evidence-based model. The evidence based model proposed comprises seven categories of criteria used in the design of these supply chains, namely Economic, Environmental, Location, Operations management, which has a sub-category of Plant operation, Political/Legal and Social. The work reported here supports practitioners and researchers involved in supply chain partner selection to systematise their thinking in relation to the criteria that may impact their study or project.

来自废物的能源正在发达和发展中经济体中使用，以减少对化石燃料的依赖，同时积极利用原本可能被掩埋的资源。废物供应链中的能源非常复杂，涉及的合作伙伴和利益相关者种类繁多。为此，选择合适的准则来指导供应链设计，尤其是选择供应商，对于成功至关重要。在这项研究中，进行了一个三阶段过程来识别，完善和验证基于证据的模型。提出的基于证据的模型包括用于设计这些供应链的七类标准，即经济，环境，位置，运营管理，其子类别为工厂运营，政治/法律和社会。
