Optimal Study of the Reverse Logistics Network for Electronic Waste under Fuzzy Environment

Li Gang Sun, Zheng Zhang

Abstract

Considering the uncertainty of electronic waste recovery quantity in consumption areas, a fuzzy optimization model for electronic waste reverse logistics network with capacity constraints was constructed to determine the number and location of the facilities, the flows between each facility. A numerical example was provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the model.
