The manufacturing of Electrical and Electronic Equipment is dependent on the supply of several technology metals that are classified as critical. Recycling is key strategy to secure the long-term supply of these metals. To determine the recycling potential, the mass and the economic value of nine metals and metal families contained in information and communications technology and consumer equipment...
Aiming at the optimization problem of recycling channel of waste electronic products, the channel efficiency and its lost of the waste electronic products with recycling based on four different models are discussed in the paper. The research shows that the expected revenue values of used electronic products are the motive factors of recycling activities, the channel efficiency lose is happened in...
Due to increased environmental consciousness, customers are aware of the world's environmental problems in the last few decades. The green principles have been expanded to many departments within organization, including supply chain. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) covering every stage in manufacturing from the first to the last stage of life cycle has emerged in the last few years. In this research,...
In this paper a Self-Organizing Feature Map (SOFM) is used to identify clusters of similar respondents to a survey of Spanish households on their behavior and habits with respect to the End-of-Life of electric and electronic products. The survey covered six common appliances and included more than twenty questions regarding the number of units in use, duration of previous appliances, reasons for buying...
Environmental issues are playing an essential role in corporate and manufacturing strategies. International and domestic environmental regulations and laws are forcing many organisations to consider environmental impacts of all functions and business processes and products. In this paper, the environmental consciousness issues pertaining to ICT (information communication and technologies) trends,...
“Electronic-waste” or “E-waste” is a popular name for electronic products nearing the end of their useful life or just dumped due to the availability of new and advanced products in the market. E-waste consists of a concoction of metals and toxins. The environmental impacts caused by computer from the mining stage to its disposal as e-waste is dealt with in this paper. Scientific methods of disposal...
Most EOL electronic products come from industrial by-products and consumer goods as solid waste. Recycling the EOL electronic products is a complex and long term process. This paper focuses on the location and routing problem of electronic products recycling center. Firstly this paper applies AHP method to select the locations of electronic products recycling centers, and sort various elements by...
The recovery of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) has been becoming a major problem due to its environment hazards and public health. Reverse logistics network is a powerful approach. How to minimize the total recycle cost is of great importance for enterprises to win the customers. In this paper, we formulate a mathematical model of remanufacturing system as two stage logistics...
With the increasing technology and people living, many electronics products were discarded, which has been influence to environment, and now some studies of environment and product recovery have been emphasized with attention being given to societies and government .It is necessary to recovery household appliances, which take a large part in the waste electronics. In our country there is not a complete...
The main purpose of this paper is to establish a reverse logistics coordination mechanism according to Chinese real conditions. Here we focus on analyzing the situation of e-waste recycling in china. By comparing the advanced experience of developed countries, especially the application of EPR in EU, we try to find out where the problem lies in China. Finally, a model which considers the government...
Currently, the reverse logistics of electronic and electrical equipment industry in China is still in its initial stage. Two of the most important factors caused the present situation: one is the difficulty of controlling the massive recovery data and the other is the lack of effective information support for management decision-making. Thus, businesses in this area cry out for a data analysis center...
The Industry Council for Electronic Equipment Recycling (ICER) has published estimates of waste generation based on both assumptions and analysis regarding the relationship between the market sales of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in a given year and the expected lifetime of products as well as by employing market saturation factors. Further, today, it has become extremely important to...
Aiming at the problem of e-waste management, this paper put forward an introduction of EPR systems into the e-waste management system to reduce Electronics pollutants by means of the establishment of responsibility of the main for e-waste recycling disposal. Simplifications should be made angled at China's electronic product market structure. First, calculate the interests of legitimate businesses...
Electronic waste legislation is non-uniform, at both the national and global level, and a variety of financial and collection schemes exist. In some locations, e-waste stakeholders have preempted mandatory take-back by creating their own e-waste programs. Whether involved by mandate or voluntarily, stakeholders would like to develop strategies that minimize their financial burden. However, the economic...
Firms operating in the electronic waste (e-waste) recovery business, voluntarily or because of legislation, would like to develop strategies that minimize their financial burden. A mass flow and economic model is developed to quantify the variation of economic performance of an e-waste recovery system due to product, collection, and market uncertainties. The goal is to highlight scenarios that may...
The potential for environmental, social, and economic advances enabled by information and communication technologies (ICTs) is tremendous: `Smart Grid' systems hold promise for resource conservation and climate change mitigation; innovations in ICT help transition countries from industrial to knowledge economies, and bridging the digital divide in developing countries can help achieve Millennium Development...
The environmental impact associated with electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is relatively large throughout its life cycle when compared to other durable consumer products. Prioritisation of reuse of WEEE is one approach that has been proposed to reduce manufacturing impacts and contribute to a reduction in this lifecycle burden. This paper aims to address two key issues in the area of reuse...
Recycling of waste electronic products and material recovery has attached increasing attention from governments and enterprises. However, the cost is expensive and the process is complex, so choosing an appropriate processing approach to recover the precious materials is the basis of reverse recovery system formation. In this paper, the composition of electronic products and materials were analyzed...
The rapid economic development has promoted the demand for electronic products and consumption, which caused the rapid expansion of the waste electrical and electronic equipment. These made a tremendous impact on the recycle economy development and the environment protection in Guangxi. By means of field research and statistical data analysis methods, analysis of e-waste recycling situation, summed...
This paper discusses the pricing decision about the remanufacture rate and subsidies rate for remanufacturing and refurbishing to returned WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). We define and analyze a model of an industry comprised of a remanufacturer to remanufacture and refurbish returned products. According to the cost of remanufacturing, refurbishing and the valuation ratio of refurbished...
