To evaluate and promote ecologically responsible practices in the sintering business, conducting a sustainability evaluation of sintering flue gas is essential. An important step in making iron and steel, sintering releases flue gas emissions that, if not controlled, may harm the environment. Reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency, managing waste, using water, utilizing resources, monitoring community effects, complying with regulations, conducting a life cycle assessment, and continuously improving are all part of the assessment's extensive scope. When these aspects are considered, stakeholders may better understand the economic, social, and environmental effects of sintering flue gas management. This paper used the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology to evaluate the criteria. We used the DEMATEL method as an MCDM method. The DEMATEL is used to build the relation between the criteria. We collect ten criteria in this study. We compute the criteria weights to show this study’s best and worst criterion. The DEMATEL method is used to draw the effect diagram between criteria.
