“…These studies assume that remanufactured products are identical to the new products. At present, studies gradually focus on the marketing issues of remanufactured products, such as risk-utility evaluation [11], green demand [12], social responsibility [13], purchase intention [14,15], and consumers' selling intention [16], etc. However, these studies assume that the remanufactured products and the new products are independent and completely different, and the similarity has not been considered.…”

The remanufacturing industry can realize sustainability by saving resources and protecting the environment. The remanufactured products have a high similarity with the new products, and how they affect consumers’ evaluation of the new products is an important issue. This paper discusses the relationship between the similarity of remanufactured products and consumers’ willingness to purchase new products, with a mediating effect of perceived quality and a moderating effect of brand reputation. The empirical analysis based on 498 valid samples shows our conclusions below. First, the similarity of remanufactured products has a significant negative impact on the purchase intention of new products. Second, the perceived quality of new products plays a partial mediating role between similarity and purchase intention. Third, brand reputation negatively moderates the relationship between the similarity of remanufactured products and the perceived quality of new products. Furthermore, brand reputation also moderates the mediating effect of the similarity of remanufactured products on the purchase intention of new products through the perceived quality of new products. This paper suggests a new perspective for the research of remanufactured products and provides an important reference for the healthy and sustainable development of recycling and remanufacturing industry.

“… Taleizadeh et al (2019) used a discount offer on the returned products so as to entice customers to bring back their used products. Hosseini-Motlagh et al (2020c) introduced economic incentives, Sabbaghnia and Taleizadeh (2020) used collection investment, and Hosseini-Motlagh et al (2020a) employed acquisition price as incentives for customers to return more items. Besides, some papers suggest that the incentive policies could not only raise the return quantity of used products but also affect the market demand for new products.…”

“…Therefore, in such a case, not only the retailers’ profit is affected, but also the manufacturer’s performance is exacerbated. In the literature, various promotional offers, such as purchase price ( Bulmuş et al, 2014 ), reward-penalty ( Wang et al, 2017 ), discount offer ( Taleizadeh et al, 2019 ), economic incentives ( Hosseini-Motlagh et al, 2020c ), collection investment ( Sabbaghnia and Taleizadeh, 2020 ), and acquisition price ( Hosseini-Motlagh et al, 2020a ), have been proposed to augment the collection amount of used products, while CSR participation has not been studied in this regard. We contribute to this literature and investigate the case where two competitive retailers exert CSR as an incentive policy to raise the consumers’ willingness to return their plastic containers, which also affects the demand for new products.…”

Uncertainty in real-world situations disrupts operations, including the collection process in closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs). A collection disruption is more critical in the pharmaceutical sector since pharmaceutical leftovers contain chemicals that threaten the environment and human health. This paper revolves around the challenges of a real pharmaceutical case that implements circular economy principles through a closed-loop system design, takes sustainability issues into account, and seeks for effective management of collection disruption. The case includes a manufacturer, who invests in green research and development (R&D), and two retailers competing on corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to boost the collection amount and market demand. This competitive environment raises conflict of interests and complicates the interactions between members, which need to be neutralized by an appropriate coordination plan. This paper proposes an analytical scenario-based coordination model that resolves channel conflicts and pays dividends to the involving members through augmenting their social, economic, and environmental performance. We show that the coordination plan could be a practical policy to increase the system’s adaptability to disruption. Under the coordinated model, by increasing a retailer’s collection disruption, the other one invests more in CSR efforts to compensate for its competitor’s lower collection, preventing loss for the whole channel. We also demonstrate that the proposed model maintains the chain’s balance and prevents loss in case of a highly competitive CSR-based collection and boosts the collection amount, market demand, and the whole chain’s profitability simultaneously.

China is a developing country and with the speeding up of its industrialization, the environmental problems are becoming more serious, environmental pollution is a major environmental health problem in China. In order to have a more effective management and control of the significant growth issues of environment pollution, green supply chain incentives have started, which is kind of market incentive aiming to moderate the adverse effects of environmental pollution. Proper green chain supply selection and evaluation of companies is becoming very essential in sustainable green supply chain management. Generally speaking, decision-makers (DMs) prefer to provide a set of feasible and quantitative information for making performance evaluation, which motivates us to propose a framework using dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (DHFLTS) and hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) to select green suppliers. In this paper, group satisfaction and the regret theory are adopted for elicitation of preference information. The DHFLTS and HFLTS provide qualitative preferences of the DMs as well as reflect their hesitancy, inconsistency, and vagueness. Further, two new group satisfaction degrees are defined called the group satisfaction of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set and dual hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set. Some properties of group satisfaction with DHFLST and HFL are also discussed. Unknown attribute weights are obtained to construct a novel Lagrange function optimization model to maximize the group satisfaction degree, which is an extension of general group satisfaction degree. A novel methodological approach based on two group satisfaction degrees framework and regret theory is developed to rank and select green chain suppliers focusing on specific selection objectives. The proposed model and method of this paper allow the DM to execute different fuzzy scenarios by changing importance weights attached to the triple-bottom-line areas. In the final part, the advantage of the proposed group satisfaction degree under DHFL and HFL background over the existing group satisfaction degree using examples have been presented with different computational combinations.
