Product and sales contract design in remanufacturing

“…Given this ambiguity, we explore the effects of co further in Section 5.3 as part of our numerical study of the green firm's optimal policy. These findings are consistent with observations from the mobile phone market (with high levels of γ; see for example Jang and Kim (2010)), where operators or manufacturers will remanufacture a fraction of the used phones they collect (examples from practice can be found in Jang and Kim (2010), Srivastava (2004), Tanskanen and Butler (2007)), thus operating in a market-constrained environment. …”

“…This result suggests that remanufacturing is more profitable as a strategy if the primary consumer market is less sensitive to changes in contract conditions. For instance, given the sensitivity of mobile phone consumers to contract conditions, it is not surprising that typically R G < 1 for OEMs that remanufacture mobile phones (Jang and Kim (2010), Srivastava (2004), Tanskanen and Butler (2007)). Intuitively, this is because such insensitivity allows the firm to adjust the contract to fit the requirements of the remanufacturing operation, without losing too much ground in the primary market.…”

Electronics Waste: Recycling of Mobile Phones

“…It was run in Sweden and the UK and it was executed by member companies of ECTEL (European Telecommunications and Professional Electronics Industry association) group consisting of six mobile phone manufactures (Tanskanen & Butler, 2007). Since the first program there have been many Nokia led collection initiatives globally aiming at raising the consumer awareness on mobile phone recycling.…”
