“…A Figura 1 mostra o modelo de Achillas et al (2010) com detalhes sobre os processos e as diferentes práticas relacionadas aos REEE (Resíduos de Equipamentos Eletroeletrônicos) após o seu fim de vida útil, principalmente os aspectos relacionados ao fluxo posterior à utilização. Os autores também identificam as possibilidades de reuso e reciclagem como alternativas após o tratamento inicial dos Reee (atividades de classificação, testes de usabilidade, segregação dos materiais e trituração).…”

RESUMOEste estudo tem por objetivo mapear a cadeia reversa de resíduos de celulares, por meio da aplicação do modelo de Lambert e Cooper (2000). Uma análise multicritério também foi proposta para entender quais são os principais critérios utilizados na comercialização desses resíduos, sob o ponto de vista da empresa focal. Neste caso, foram utilizadas duas empresas. Os resultados mostraram que a empresa A se posiciona mais a jusante, com ligações gerenciáveis nos elos adjacentes e foco em economias de escala; enquanto a empresa B tem uma posição central, gerencia elos adjacentes e distantes, portanto tem uma visão mais estratégica em termos de relacionamento colaborativo e com foco na melhoria dos aspectos ambientais, como menor índice de poluição no transporte, menos gastos de energia e menor grau de intoxicação com produtos. Este trabalho pode ser utilizado pelos atores da cadeia reversa de eletrônicos como referência para melhorar o fluxo de materiais e informações e por tomadores de decisões como meio estruturado para tomar decisões a partir de suas preferências dentro do ambiente de negócios.Palavras-chave: Análise de decisão multicritério; Cadeia de suprimentos; Celulares; Logística reversa. STRUCTURE OF CELLULAR ADVICES REVERSE CHAIN AND RELEVANT CRITERIA IN POST-CONSUMER TRADE ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to map out the reverse logistics chain of cellular waste by applying Lambert and Cooper's (2000) model. Multi-criteria analysis is proposed to select the main criteria used for the trade of these wastes from the point of view of the local firm. For this, we conducted a study in two companies. The results showed that company A is positioned downstream of the chain, with managed adjacent links and focuses on scale economies. Company B has a central position, a strategic vision in terms of collaborative relationships, adjacent controls, and distant links. Company B also focuses on improving the environmental aspects, such as better pollution index regarding transportation, lower energy costs and lower level of intoxication products. This work can be a guide to the players of the reverse electronics chain as a reference to improve the flow of materials and information, and decision makers as a structured way to make decisions based on their preferences within the business environment.

Abstract:The rapid growth of Electronic Waste (E-waste) in recent years has created serious influences on the environment and society. The highly potential solution to mitigate this issue is the Reverse Supply Chain (RSC) which can reuse and recover E-waste materials. Risks generally derive from a RSC operation such as collection, transportation and treatment risks, but most studies ignore risk effects on the total cost of E-waste treatment in the RSC model. This paper aims to develop a mathematical model for an Ewaste RSC considering risk costs. This proposed model applied mixed integer linear programming and solved by a mathematical programming language. An illustrative example is examined to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. Sensitive analysis is also presented. The results can determine the optimal locations of facilities and the flow of materials or items in a RSC network. Furthermore, the network design decisions have been changed considerably while risk costs are incorporated.

Today, the increased public concern about sustainable development and more stringent environmental regulations have become important driving forces for value recovery from end-of-life and end-of use products through reverse logistics. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) contains both valuable components that need to be recycled and hazardous substances that have to be properly treated or disposed of, so the design of a reverse logistics system for sustainable treatment of WEEE is of paramount importance. This paper presents a stochastic mixed integer programming model for designing and planning a generic multi-source, multi-echelon, capacitated, and sustainable reverse logistics network for WEEE management under uncertainty. The model takes into account both economic efficiency and environmental impacts in decision-making, and the environmental impacts are evaluated in terms of carbon emissions. A multi-criteria two-stage scenario-based solution method is employed and further developed in this study for generating the optimal solution for the stochastic optimization problem. The proposed model and solution method are validated through a numerical experiment and sensitivity analyses presented later in this paper, and an analysis of the results is also given to provide a deep managerial insight into the application of the proposed stochastic optimization model.
