With the improvement of residents' living standards and humans' attention in environmental protection green consumption consciousness and so on, cold chain logistics and green logistics have become the important parts in logistics system. With the development of these two kinds of logistics mode, “green cold chain logistics” with combined of the two will also be a new kind of logistics mode. On the...
Electric vehicle batteries are characterised by a limited lifetime based on the steadily decreasing ability to fulfil the minimum capacity and power requirements for the automotive application. A lack of experience in end-of-life (EoL) value chains, associated interdependencies, and dynamic conditions pose a challenge to identify the monetary outcome and pursued way of the EoL-options.
Nowadays it is paramount to design recycling supply chains efficiently because of both economic and environmental concerns. In this article, a dynamic fuzzy mathematical model for a recycling supply chain network is presented with the dual aims of total costs and the environmental impacts minimization. The Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is utilized to discover Pareto optimal solutions. To show the...
In order to solve the enterprise's actual problem and meet the demand under different priority level of new product distribution and old product recycling in business enterprise, This paper improves the traditional vehicle routing problem with simultaneous delivery and pick-up. Considering the importance of the new product distribution and old product recycling in enterprise operation, we put forward...
This research developed a mixed-integer mathematical model for a generic closed-loop supply chain network design (SCND), optimizing all three inherent dimensions of sustainability, namely, cost, environmental, and social impact, simultaneously. The proposed novel hybrid model is designed for a single period and takes into account some real-life characteristics of SC implementation such as multi-echelons,...
The present stage of China is in the process from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture, thus calls for the efficient use of resources including using economical resources intensively and promoting energy conservation of agriculture actively. Straw as a versatile renewable biological resources can be processed into organic fertilizer, fodder, building materials, gas and so on. However, farmers...
This paper concentrates on the problem of urban construction waste recycling network optimization, and the main innovation of this paper is to introduce mixed integer programming in this problem. Firstly, the system layout of the construction waste recycling industry is proposed. Moreover, to construct an urban construction waste recycling network, we should formulate the rules of resource optimization...
The well-designed green waste electrical recycling logistics network should not only consider the recovery efficiency, but also consider the negative impact of logistics activities on the environment, and therefore a good balance logistics efficiency and impact on the environment is the key. In this paper, environmental quality and logistics efficiency as the optimization objectives, using Carbon...
University has its special environment of waste, especially the distinctive categories of garbage and the abnormal production of waste at special time, which makes classification and recycling of university students (CRUS) a reverse logistic issue with unique features. In order to study university students' cognition and behavior of classification and recycling of university solid waste in Tianjin,...
With the rapid development of E-commerce, the demand for forward and reverse logistics for E-commerce enterprises is becoming increasingly urgent. This paper proposes a joint design model of multi-period reverse logistics network with the consideration of carbon emissions for E-commerce enterprises. And a case study of E-commerce enterprises is used to verify the feasibility of the model. The result...
This paper presents a new tactical optimization problem for non-hazardous waste and end-life product supply chain. Waste transport and recycling become crucial in our modern society, with a huge environmental and economic impact for industrials and communities. Operations on products during transport such as grinding or sorting allows companies to densify transports and reduce the overall supply cost...
This article proposes a model of reverse logistics network of waste household appliances. The reverse logistics network of waste household appliances includes raw factories, secondary markets, landfills, collection centers, and customer zones. The purpose of this study is to minimize the total cost of reverse logistics network. The total cost is composed of fixed cost, variable cost, transportation...
Recycling logistics mode of waste concrete is one of the important ways to improve the sustainable development of the construction industry. Recycling logistics have the obviously advantages in such aspects as economy and environmental protection, but there is a big problem when concrete operation. In this paper, taking Beijing city as an example, survey the current situation of the recycling of waste...
This paper analyzed current reverse supply chain of waste mobile phones and create a new mode of reverse supply chain of waste mobile phones based on e-commerce platform. The process structure of this new reverse supply chain is built in this paper. The cost structure of the new mode was established and then we compared the cost of the new recovery mode and other current recovery modes. At last, the...
Recently, the level of electronic waste (e-waste) is increasing especially in Egypt due to rapid technology change, and the increase in the consumption of electronic products. This paper proposed a reverse logistics network model for e-waste products that is solved by Genetic algorithm (GA), which aims tominimize the total cost and considering the collection cost, installation cost of sorting, repairing...
Reverse logistics has the following disadvantages, scattered, uncertainty and small volume. It is difficult for Ecommerce to provide a good reverse logistics services to reduce their and buyers transportation expenses. Based on the analysis of current reverse logistics practices, it presents an effective strategy of non-defective reverse logistics. By using this strategy sellers can choose another...
This paper examines the existing construction waste management program in the Region of Waterloo to identify strategies for increasing waste diversion rates. The construction industry is a major economic driver in the Province of Ontario but it is also one of the largest contributors to landfill usage. The industry generates a large amount of solid waste, of which only a small fraction is recycled...
Supply chain networks entail a large amount of investments and that is why they are expected to work for a long time horizon in an economic way. But just considering economic aspects cannot ensure the optimum state of networks design and nowadays, there is a need for considering the other effecting aspects such as environmental and social factors. In this research, we provide a comprehensive mathematical...
Sustainable development in terms of both economy and environment has become as one of the most critical driving forces in shaping and reforming the management system of waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The achievement of the balance between economic and environmental performances requires comprehensive analysis and appropriate design of reverse logistics network of WEEE management...
Sustainability being the catch word of the day and need of the hour, there is dearth of adequate models to quantify sustainability. Therefore, a general model is developed and with a case analysis the quantifying procedure for sustainability measure has been depicted in this paper. The case is based on Blood bag manufacturing and distribution with respect to industries in Kerala. An MILP model is...
