| Abstract: | The conflict between economic optimization and environmental protection has received wide attention in recent research programs
for waste management system planning. This has also resulted in a set of new waste management goals in reverse logistics system
planning. The purpose of this analysis is to formulate a mixed integer goal programming (MIGP) model to assist in proper management of the paper recycling logistics system. The model studies the inter-relationship between multiple objectives (with changing priorities) of a recycled paper distribution network. The objectives considered are reduction in reverse logistics cost; product quality
improvement through increased segregation at the source; and environmental benefits through increased wastepaper recovery. The
proposed model also assists in determining the facility location, route and flow of different varieties of recyclable wastepaper in the multi-item, multi-echelon and multi-facility decision making framework. The use of ... |
