This paper examines a platform supply chain comprising a manufacturer and an e-platform in the presence of a secondary marketplace. Motivated by the industrial cases, the paper considers the e-platform either a marketplace or a retailing channel. The former is referred as a platform mode and the latter is referred as a wholesale mode. This paper an...
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is an important policy tool that aims to make manufacturers financially and/or physically responsible for recycling and remanufacturing their end-of-life products. To transfer these responsibilities, a number of manufacturers require their retailers to co-finance the additional investment on EPR through wholes...
This paper investigates how retailers' fairness concerns affect cooperative relationships in a three-party sustainable supply chain (TSSC) and how to coordinate such a supply chain when the degree of fairness concern is treated as an interval. Utilizing the Nash equilibrium strategy, this study seeks equilibrium solutions and profits under five non...
Implementations of a deposit-refund policy for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) have engendered significant economic and environmental benefits. This deposit-refund policy typically charges disposal fees (deposits) for producing new products and offers subsidies (refunds) for recycling used products. However, as the collected dispos...

Purpose
Recycling and reuse of the electric vehicle (EV) batteries are ways to extend their limited lives. If batteries can be traced from production to recycling, it is beneficial for battery recycling and reuse. Using blockchain technology to build a smart EV battery reverse supply chain can solve the difficulties of lack of trust and data. The p...
This study establishes a remanufacturing supply chain (RSC) consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer, in which the retailer offers a money-back guarantee (MBG) with a full refund for consumers, and investigates the pricing decisions in four remanufacturing cases by considering the quality of returns. Our results show that, controlling remanufact...
With the increase of public environmental awareness, many manufacturing companies choose to transfer their remanufacturing operations to third-party enterprises for social image and cost considerations. For the remanufacturing supply chain consisting of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Third-party Remanufacturers (TPRs), four remanufactu...
Although digitalization has attracted much attention in research and practice, the implications of firm digitalization for environmental performance are still unclear. Building on the knowledge management perspective, this study focuses on the Chinese traditional high-polluting textile and apparel industry and aims to empirically explore the effect...
Remanufacturing machining paths affect the remanufacturing cost, quality of remanufactured parts, and environment. Therefore, optimizing remanufacturing machining paths is an important problem in remanufacturing systems. However, the methods used in previous studies had a certain degree of subjectivity. Hence, this study proposes a novel carbon foo...
Exploring the transformation of the mode of economic growth has been widely concerned by researchers around the world, especially in the context of “dual carbon” goals.

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) of waste tires is usually implemented by a producer responsibility organizations (PRO) composed of a group of tire producers. As a collective EPR system, the main goals of PRO are to achieve recycling cost efficiency as well as offer incentives for all member producers to design their products for recyclabilit...
Numerous policies have been formulated and implemented to strengthen waste separation management activities in many countries. Waste separation management policies (WSMPs) must be evaluated as the precondition for reducing deviations from policy implementation and improving waste separation performance. Based on text mining technology and the const...

Five communities in Wuhu were selected for a comprehensive assessment of environmental suitability. In order to ensure a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the environmental adapta...
Disadvantageous inequity leads to loss of utility, while advantageous inequity is more acceptable. Loss aversion is inherent in fairness concerns. The complexity of human behavior determines that a single behavioral preference does not accurately characterize the behavior of decision makers. This paper incoporates the concept of dual-preference in...

This paper first constructs the...
This paper considers a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) structure in which a manufacturer allows a retailer and a third-party remanufacturer to sell and remanufacture his products, respectively. Given the retailer's distributional fairness concerns, we investigate the optimal/equilibrium decisions and profits under five non-cooperative and cooperati...
Taking into account the consumer has a low carbon preferences, under the dual driving force of environment production and economic benefit, the manufacturer invests in the emission reduction technology in the production process and sales process, such as introducing the emission reduction equipment or cleaner production technology. For a two-echelo...
Besides economic profits, environmental and social concerns are attracting more and more attention. In this paper, we introduce the environmental responsibility through the product recovery and the social responsibility through the product donation. On the premise that the manufacturer undertakes the product recycling, we consider three distinct do...
This study investigates product design and its impact on the operations of a two-echelon closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). Research findings reveal that remanufacturing does not necessarily enhance the profitability of the supplier or the manufacturer, but adjusting product-design strategies helps to curb loss if profitability suffers. An environmen...

Remanufacturing of returned products has been increasingly recognized in industries as an effective approach to face environmental responsibility, government regulations, and increased awareness of consumers. In this paper, we address a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) in which the manufacturer produces the brand-new products, as well as the remanuf...
Uncertain factors in modern multi-variety and small-lot manufacturing make it extremely challenging to optimise and control the production process. Researchers propose a bottleneck-based optimisation method to reduce perplexity and enhance optimisation. Detecting bottlenecks is a crucial first step in this method and its accuracy has great impacts...
Carbon tax regulation and consumers’ low-carbon preference act as incentives for firms to abate emissions. Manufacturers can improve product sustainability and retailers can strengthen the promotion of low-carbon products as part of such abatement. Current incomplete rationality also affects product sustainability and low-carbon promotion level. In...
The government holds manufactures responsible for product recovery and product design. To research the impact of government regulation on operation of closed-loop supply chain with dual responsibilities and dual channels, a three stage game model which composed of government, manufacturer, retailer and recycle was constructed. Through analyzing the...
The production design decision and coordination of the closed-loop supply chain are researched by considering and not considering the remanufacturer's fairness concern on profit distribution. The result shows that: The manufacturer's and supply chain profits are negatively correlated with the fairness concern degree; when the manufacturer considers...
