With the increasing innovation of new electronic devices continually entering the marketplace, manufacturers and retailers are seeking partnerships with third party logistics (3PL) providers that can decrease e-waste through reverse logistics for end-of-life devices. With the general public’s sentiment to preserve the environment for future generations, manufacturers and retailers as …

In this paper, we develop an integrated framework for the modeling of reverse supply chain management of electronic waste, which includes recycling. We describe the behavior of the various decision-makers, consisting of the sources of electronic waste, the recyclers, the processors, as well as the consumers associated with the demand …

The adoption of green supply chain management and reverse logistics present an opportunity for global electronic manufacturing stakeholders within the supply chains to competently respond to the escalating expectation of the international community for resources conservation and to achieve environmental performance profitably. Thus, the useful life of consumer electronic devices …

On January 01, 2011, the legal basis paving the way towards environmentally sustainable WEEE recovery and disposal in China has entered into force. Against this background, we propose a mixed-integer linear programming formulation for determining the physical configuration of a reverse logistics system for WEEE in Chinese contexts. The resulting …

Anaerobic digestion is applied widely to treat the source collected organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (SC-OFMSW). Lipid-rich wastes are a valuable substrate for anaerobic digestion due to their high theoretical methane potential. Nevertheless, although fat, oil and grease waste from sewage treatment plants (STP-FOGW) are commonly disposed of in …
