Abstract

With the rapid growth of economy, China evidence sharp increase on its GDP. But at the same time it feels more and more pressure from industry wastes in its environment. To relieve the pressure on environment while still maintaining the sustainable development in China, decision makers starts to focus more on measuring the efficiency of waste treatment process. Because the industry wastes are divided into three classes (i.e. waste water, waste gas and solid wastes), we should apply different treatments to deal with them. In this paper, we propose a multiple parallel DEA methodology and apply it to calculate the efficiency for the treatment of these three kinds of wastes. By formulating the three types of treatments as three parallel sub-systems in ecological environment optimization, the efficiency of overall, as well as of individual wastes’ treatment can be calculated. The statistic data from 30 individual provinces of China in 2010 are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. Suggestions on optimizing the ecological environment in different regions based on our measurement are given at the end of the paper.
