Abstract

The pricing strategies of the reverse supply chain system of electronic waste (e-waste) consisted of recyclers and processors are proposed. The trapezoidal fuzzy membership functions are used to describe the uncertainty of the recycling price. The amount of recycling e-waste, the recycling price and the profits of recyclers and processors in cooperation and non-cooperation game decisions are presented. The simulated results show that the cooperation, the elasticity coefficients of price, the remanufactured rate, the recycling cost, the re-manufacturing cost and the government subsidy for non-recycled e-waste will affect the recycling price, the amount of recycling e-waste and the profits of recyclers and processors directly. The results in this paper can provide good guidance and reference for the operation of the e-waste reverse supply chain system.
