Abstract. Integrated waste management systems play a central role in advancing the circular economy and protecting the environment at regional level. This paper presents a case study of the integrated waste management system in Bihor County, Romania, with a focus on its sustainability across environmental, social and economic dimensions. The analysis covers the institutional framework, infrastructure, collection and treatment flows, separate collection performance and the evolution of key indicators over recent years. Strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement are identified, and recommendations are formulated for enhancing the sustainability of the system in line with European and national policy targets.

Keywords: integrated waste management; sustainability; circular economy; Bihor County; Romania

The generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP) is an extension of the classical traveling salesman
problem (TSP), and it is among the most researched combinatorial optimization problems due to its theoretical properties, complexity aspects, and real-life applications in various areas: location-routing problems, material flow design problem, distribution of medical supplies, urban waste collection management, airport selection and routing the courier airplanes, image retrieval and ranking, digital garment manufacturing, etc.
