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...
In the recycling process of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) the disassembly process has a central role. Disassembly is not the reverse of the assembly process, real difficulties occur in the tasks assignment process of the disassembly operations. Since this is a multi objective optimization problem, we prove that genetic algorithms provide a useful multi-criteria decision tool...
Resource exhausting and environment deterioration are factors restricting the development of all countries and they can even threaten the human subsistence. The logos of economizing energy and reducing pollution are accepted by most countries. Scientific recovery of waste electronic and electrical equipments (WEEE) can not only reduce pollutions but also gain quantities of materials including precious...
Going 'green' has become a legal obligation rather than a choice for electricals manufacturers in the wake of tough new European legislation. The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive was introduced early in 2007, but a lack of enforcement of the rules is allowing some companies off the hook. The directive has also raised concern that some organisations within the recycling chain...
Takeback of obsolete electronics products has been in the focus of the environmental discussions for nearly 10 years. The European Union has published the WEEE directive which is implemented now in nearly all EU27 countries. In addition to The EU, the State of California has passed similar legislation with 34 additional states considering take back legislation. The trend continues in Canada, China...
Since the waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is increased rapidly, the disposition of WEEE has caused tremendous attention in China. The government is drafting regulation which will makes Original Equipment Manufacturers formally responsible for taking back their products. Logistics network design becomes vital for cost efficient managing WEEE in coming day. The aim of this paper is...
