“…Constraint (3) indicates that the amount of product sent from return center i to processing center j in period t is at most equal to the amount of product with the final life recovered in return center i in period t. Constraints (4) and (5) show the capacity of the processing center and the producer, respectively. The amount of inventory in the processing center is checked in each period with Constraint (6).…”

“…Properly designing the logistics network as part of supply chain planning is crucial, as it can positively impact cost reduction, responsiveness, and efficiency. 2 , 3 To achieve these goals, a wide range of linear and nonlinear models can be employed, including complex multi-objective optimization problems. Given the complex nature of these issues, decision-makers must consider multiple objectives simultaneously, while factoring in any uncertainties related to the problem parameters.…”

Making decisions about the design and implementation of a logistics network is crucial as it has long-term impacts. However, it is important to consider that demand factors and the number of returned items by customers may change over time. Therefore, it is necessary to design a logistics network that can adapt to various demand fluctuations. The main goal of this study is to calculate the quantity of products that should be sent at different times in a supply chain network to minimize the overall cost of reverse logistics and tardiness time. Accordingly, a multi-objective mathematical model is proposed that aims to optimize the total cost and the amount of delay in sending customer orders in a three-level logistics network, assuming that some parameters are uncertain. Additionally, the minimization of waiting time, considering the level of delay in sending, is applied as the second objective function. To handle the uncertainty in the reverse logistics network, a fuzzy approach is implemented, and the proposed model is solved using GAMS software. Furthermore, to solve the mathematical model in large dimensions, the Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA) is applied in MATLAB software, and the results are compared to the global optimal solution. The outcomes show that the proposed algorithm has a desirable performance, as the total values sent to the manufacturer are equal to those obtained from the exact solution, and the objective function value decreases as the number of repetitions increases.

“…Discarding denotes an attitude of leaving out material that is currently not valuable or is currently not wanted. The fourth attribute was devolution, found in studies by Hidayat et al (2022), Panya andMarendi (2021), andLima et al (2022.). It is a crucial feature of reverse logistics because it describes the need to relocate a product again for reuse.…”

Scientific studies have increasingly shown that what is garbage is wasted resources, solid and of other natures. Much of this waste is generated inside urban and rural households, forcing citizens to rethink their commitment to reusing what many still consider garbage. This study aimed to explain the main difficulties in managing selective waste collection in Manaus, Brazil. It used the survey method to generate an in-depth explanation of how these difficulties occur, inverting the traditional logic of this method. Data were collected through an electronic questionnaire with open questions, organized and analyzed using semantic techniques, and the results were generated with the recommendations of the scientific-technological method. The conclusion presents six distinct and interconnected types of difficulties that prevent the effectiveness of selective waste collection in the city.

Today, the industrial world is experiencing intense competition with challenges related to environmental issues, and the domestic paper industry is no exception. This study is a follow-up of the research conducted by Palupi et al. (2015) at Company X which, through an LCA study, found an acute water ecotoxicity value of 7.16 kPt, a chronic water ecotoxicity value of 6.5 kPt, and a soil human toxicity value of 2.69 kPt. However, that study did not come with a SWOT matrix. Therefore, using a desk study,the present study aimed to map a SWOT matrix. A desk study based on SWOT analysis from 12 international journals and two national journals sourced from Elsevier, IWA Publishing, MDPI Publisher, Taylor & Francis, and Garuda was used to determine the SWOT matrix. Desk studies have the objective of comprehensively evaluating published journal articles, books, and other sources on given problem domains.Based on the results of the study, some recommendations for actions on the internal and external factors of the company are offered, consiting of steps for the company to mitigate identified weaknesses and threats.This study found that most of the pulp and paper industry engaged in internal strengths and external opportunities and faced numerous internal weaknesses and external threats. Currently, Company X occupied the first quadrant (Growth), indicating that the company was in a highly profitable condition. The company was enjoying many strengths and opportunities. Therefore, it is critical for the company to use its strengths to capture opportunities to minimize its emissions to the environment and to implement LCA in the company.
