Optimizing the WEEE Recovery Network Associated with Environmental Protection Awareness and Government Subsidy by Nonlinear Mixed Integer Programming by Yanan Bo, Yanqi Wang, Zhong Wan

“…Scenario analysis and numerical experiments indicate that: (1) appropriate capacities of transfer stations can be provided by the proposed model for designing an environmentally and economically efficient WEEE recycling system, especially for alleviating the existing overcapacity or insufficient recycle. (2) An optimal governmental subsidy can be obtained in virtue of the proposed model and algorithm. (3) Diversity of transportation modes and permission of more than one mode in the same delivery route can greatly reduce the cost of recycling WEEE. (4) Preferred awareness of environmental protection can increase the profit and the recycled quantities, as well as reduction of the total recycling cost.…”
