Increasing rate of plastic waste generation all over the world is a great environmental concern due to the non-biodegradability nature of this material. Therefore numerous researches and industries are focusing on how to use these petrochemical-based wastes. Due to their high calorific value, they are considerable sources for energy recovery. Different energy recovery technologies such as pyrolysis,...
When a production system comes to the end of its life, a decision needs to be made what to do with it. Usually it needs to be removed from the site very quickly to make room for a new one. This paper proposes a recovery planning method (RPM) that could be used to determine a suitable End-of-Life (EoL) scenario for a production system. Making the recovery process planning more systematic can improve...
Within the framework of this research, the task of dynamic management of innovations in the sphere of high-tech industries is formulated and the need to identify patterns of decision-making about the need to recycle current innovative products and to bring the next generation of innovations to market is determined. Dynamic properties of innovative processes are singled out, on their basis a mathematical...
For many years, the remanufacturing system has been a very popular and potential topic to both scholars and practitioners. The increasing demand of products, particularly in the electronics and automobile industry and conflicting depletion of resources has become a major challenge for the electronics and automotive remanufacturing stakeholders. The increasing global need for these electronics and...
With the apposed system of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), manufacturers can adopt the third-party recycling mode instead of its extended responsibility. Based on the recycling cooperation structure model of M nodes with multi-client to multi-agent, using game theory analyze the partnership among the different benefit bodies of the recycling structure deeply. And then have a conclusion that...
This paper investigates pricing and collection effort decisions under the different channel structure. In our model, we consider the collection effort impacts both remanufacturer's collection quantity and market demand. We build four game models and give the corresponding equilibrium decisions. Through comparing these equilibrium results, we find that the manufacturer (remanufacturer)'s profit is...
This paper develops a new approach to sustainable planning of WEEE recycling innovation strategies for meeting the best sustainable innovation interests of a WEEE management company. A fuzzy multi-attribute decision making algorithm is used to evaluate the to-be implemented innovation strategies in terms of their readiness levels on identified sustainability-related key risk factors (SRFs) under the...
The significance of remanufacturing used products has been widely recognized in literatures and in practice. In this paper, we put forward the idea of introducing Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID for short) into the recycling activities of waste products, and assume that RFID would contribute to save recycling cost. Taking into account such elements as RFID technical level and the RFID...
Sustainability has become a ubiquitous requirement, driven by global warming and resource scarcity. For Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) and other telecommunications equipment, the by far most-relevant environmental aspect is in-service energy consumption (CO2), which is only then followed by resources usage during production (raw material, energy, CO2), all transportation (CO2), and recycling...
The recycling of materials is increasingly being used by the manufacturing industry. It is an attitude in response the growing charges that society has imposed the producer market. In the construction industry this demand is even more intense due to the large volumes of raw materials consumed for the execution of new buildings, the generation of waste during the construction process and finally the...
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...
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...
There has been significant increase in bringing awareness across Saudi Arabia towards recycling and its impact on our environment especially in the past decade. Unfortunately, recycling succession process requires further cooperation by consumers to be advantageous and to actively promote recycling business in the competitive Saudi market. To overcome these challenges, we propose a new web framework...
This work introduces the development of a framework that allows researchers and practitioners to customize design methodologies for their own specific product service system (PSS) design problems. PSS has been researched for more than a decade but despite its economical and ecological benefits to customers, providers, the environment and the society, the adoption of PSS in industry is limited for...
This paper presents a fuzzy multiattribute group decision making model for evaluating the performance of ewaste recycling programs to meet the best sustainability interests of an e-waste recycling company. Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used for representing the subjective and imprecise assessments of the decision maker in evaluating the relative importance of the attributes and the performance...
Electronic waste is a growing problem in the world. As technology is more rapidly developed and made accessible to the public, an increase in the disposal of old electronics becomes more imminent. Electronic waste is harmful to the environment and the amount that it attributes to the waste stream can be reduced. Electronic products such as mobile devices are ubiquitous and the rates with which they...
Sustainable development is increasingly becoming the main objective to organisations. Companies within Chinese manufacturing industries are eager to adopt sustainable strategy through lean, green, and socially responsible practices. This research was carried out to study the effectiveness of various practices that improve the sustainability performance and embraces economic, environmental, and social...
The current project is aimed at analyzing the possibilities of the Reverse Logistics as a new market niche in industry through the creation of a standard industrial estate that clusters several activities related to the industrial waste appreciation and that can be benefited from the economies of scale, from the synergies obtained between the companies settled there and the collaboration of public...
This study aims to analysis and identify some options of innovation in the process of making batik in order to implement the concept of cleaner production by presenting the result-type of research of one Small Medium Enterprise (SMEs) Batik which is located in the Pekalongan. Based on the types and the amount of waste generated at each stage, this study proposes a set of alternative of innovation...
Closed-loop supply chain buy back contract of anti-disruption when demand and production cost disruptions is studied in this paper. The results show that: ① closed-loop supply chain has a certain robustness under the condition of buying-back contract. ② When emergent event makes the market demand and cost to large disturbances, the buy-back contract cannot coordinate the closed-loop supply chain....
