description Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an attractive approach to implement the waste management system in terms of environmental sustainability. The variety of environmental options has been made an emergence requirement a methodology to choose the best options for decision-makers. This paper aims to generate a comprehensive model to facilitate the life cycle products to develop a cleaner production strategy in paper manufacture. In the first step, the requirement and adopting models are applied to determine the main criteria of LCA. Then, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) model is designed to assess the LCA qualification of the paper manufacturing process according to the selected criteria. The environmental impact, production process, technical capability, raw material, energy consumption, human resource, manufactured products, and economic are selected as a higher priority after considering the requirement and adopting the decision model. Pair-wise comparative of 52 sub-criteria showed that circulating of water and solid waste reusing from wastewater treatment plant through dissolved air flotation (DAF) and disk filter enables us to have many advantages not only the pollutants removal but also the enhancement of the LCA framework.
