Reverse Logistics Information System of E-waste Based on Internet

A review on technologies and their usage in solid waste monitoring and management systems: Issues and challenges

“…As presented in the table, the most widespread use of GIS on SWM lies in the areas of site selection for landfill, trash bin and transfer stations (Chang and Lin, 1997;Kao, 1996;Kao and Lin, 2002;Lotfi et al, 2007;Sener et al, 2011;Tralhão et al, 2010;Vijay et al, 2008) and routing and scheduling optimization based on historical or predicted data (Fan et al, 2010;Ghose et al, 2006;Jovičić et al, 2010;Kanchanabhan et al, 2011;Ozkan et al, 2006;Tavares et al, 2009). Others applications of GIS in SWM includes waste generation estimation by using socioeconomic data and local demographic (Ahmed et al, 2006;Karadimas and Loumos, 2008;Marah and Novotny, 2011), local management planning (Hrebicek and Soukopova, 2010;Macdonald, 1996), integrated SWM establishment (Karadimas et al, 2004;Tao, 2010) …”

Informal E-waste Collection Units and Intention of using Technology

“…A study in Malaysia proposed a smart e-waste collection box enabled with GPS (global positioning system) for e-waste disposal by households [40]. An internet based reverse logistics solution for e-waste was proposed based on Web-GIS [41]. A study proposed a framework for e-waste management based on IoT and Big data [42].…”

Information management in Reverse logistics

“…Reverse logistics requires specialized operations and information technology since it is very time-sensitive and includes a variety of tasks like inspection of returned goods, crediting customer accounts and resale of returned goods [19]. Adequate information infrastructure and appropriate software are needed for this purpose [39].…”

“…The biggest planning problem in remanufacturing and reselling is the uncertain number of collected items from the customer [39]. It is necessary to obtain as much accurate and well-timed information on status, location and condition of products as possible in order to reduce these uncertainties.…”
