“…This result corroborates the research of Souza et al (2016) in relation to the influence of laws and regulatory instruments in the current brazilian reality. It is also a relevant factor in environmental issues and other researches around the world that mention the importance of electronics manufacturing companies to implement the reverse logistics of WEEE to comply with legislation, aiming to minimize landfill contamination in Greece (Achillas et al, 2010a) and China (Liu et al, 2016), which indicates the need to improve regulatory control. Assavapokee & Wongthatsanekorn (2012) also mentions the absence of rigid federal prohibitive legislation that would prevent e-waste from going to dumps and landfills in Texas, USA.…”

“…The result showed that is important the development of environmental laws about reverse logistics for reuse of WEEE. Liu et al (2016) developed a quality-based price competition model for the WEEE recycling market in a dual channel environment comprising both formal and informal sectors. It was concluded there is lack of control over the formal and informal sectors of WEEE in China, where the accelerated production of electronic equipment and the volume of waste generated in large proportions, lead to serious contamination risks to the environment and the population.…”

“…It was concluded there is lack of control over the formal and informal sectors of WEEE in China, where the accelerated production of electronic equipment and the volume of waste generated in large proportions, lead to serious contamination risks to the environment and the population. In addition, it is known that informal sectors do not use adequate technologies to treat this type of waste, putting workers at risk, as well as lack of control over the proper disposal of e-waste in dumps and landfills (Liu et al, 2016). Thus, the environmental impact can be brought to huge proportions, and considerable damages…”

Today, the increased public concern about sustainable development and more stringent environmental regulations have become important driving forces for value recovery from end-of-life and end-of use products through reverse logistics. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) contains both valuable components that need to be recycled and hazardous substances that have to be properly treated or disposed of, so the design of a reverse logistics system for sustainable treatment of WEEE is of paramount importance. This paper presents a stochastic mixed integer programming model for designing and planning a generic multi-source, multi-echelon, capacitated, and sustainable reverse logistics network for WEEE management under uncertainty. The model takes into account both economic efficiency and environmental impacts in decision-making, and the environmental impacts are evaluated in terms of carbon emissions. A multi-criteria two-stage scenario-based solution method is employed and further developed in this study for generating the optimal solution for the stochastic optimization problem. The proposed model and solution method are validated through a numerical experiment and sensitivity analyses presented later in this paper, and an analysis of the results is also given to provide a deep managerial insight into the application of the proposed stochastic optimization model.

“…This is because discarded e-products have both the attributes of a valuable resource and a potential pollutant. The recycling and reusing of e-products is a highly profitable business, while unregulated disposal may cause severe environmental pollution due to the components of harmful heavy metals [6]. To promote environmentally friendly practices for the reuse of e-products, many countries have strict regulations based on the principal of extended producer responsibility (EPR), to encourage producers to engage in recycling and reusing [7].…”

While remanufacturing is highly encouraged worldwide, some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the electrical and electronics industry are still not willing to embrace remanufacturing, for fear of expensive investment or the cannibalization of existing products. Meanwhile, third-party remanufacturers' (TPRs) remanufactured products are developing quickly. Due to quality reasons, consumers usually have a higher preference for OEM-certified remanufactured products than uncertified ones. As such, remanufacturing certification has become a strategy that OEMs can use to benefit from product remanufacturing. Our paper focuses on the remanufacturing certification contract between an OEM and a TPR. Once certified, the TPR makes payments to the OEM. These payment terms will affect their enthusiasm for participating in remanufacturing certification. By establishing game models among an OEM, a certified TPR, and an uncertified TPR, our paper explores three certification contracts, namely, the lump-sum payment, profit-sharing payment, and piece-rate payment. We identify the conditions for the OEM and certified TPR to reach a win-win outcome. Our results show that when TPRs have a high profit margin and there is no significant difference in consumers' preferences between certified and non-certified remanufacturing channels, the profit-sharing payment contract yields the highest profit; otherwise, the piece-rate payment contract is best for the OEM.
