For the first phase of the modelling, the authors created a graph and a connection matrix of six system components based on the literature. The RWMS differs from conventional waste management methods in that it involves stakeholders in decision-making; focuses on waste prevention and resource exploration; takes into account interactions with other systems and seeks to promote integration between different scales of residence (city, region, and region). ‘Technology’ in this sense includes both ‘hardware’ and ‘software’ (van de Klundert and Anschutz [10]). One of the pillars of the sustainability of the system is the involvement of stakeholders, because it leads to a sense of responsibility for the success of the system, at least when it serves the political and economic interests of the parties. At the beginning of this research, the authors examined the driving forces and sustainability conditions of the RWMS and identified the main aspects based on the literature, which will form the starting FCM model.
