“…The selected solid waste collection process has been the subject of numerous research as it is an increasingly urgent and important issue faced by municipalities all over the world, because effective Solid Waste Management (SWM) is considered as an essential method for resource and energy recovery [1][2][3][4]. The existing substantial literature particularly concentrates on the Vehicle Routing Problem for garbage trucks performing the service of solid waste collection.…”

Recyclables Collection Route Balancing Problem with Heterogeneous Fleet

Nowadays, robust and efficient solid waste collection is crucial to motivate citizens to participate in the circular economy by sorting recyclable solid waste. Vocational vehicles, including garbage trucks, contribute significantly to CO2 emissions; therefore, it is strongly recommended, and in the European Union it is mandatory, to replace conventional-fuel-based garbage trucks with electric ones. For providing sustainable and energy-efficient solid waste collection with a heterogeneous fleet, in-depth mathematical computations are needed to support solving complex decision-making problems, including crew rostering and vehicle routing, because the distance and capacity of electric garbage trucks differ from conventional-fuel-based ones. However, the literature on solid waste collection using electric garbage trucks is still relatively scarce. The main contribution of this paper is developing an optimization problem for balancing travel distance assigned to each garbage truck of a heterogeneous fleet. The problem is based on specific requirements of the Municipal Solid Waste Management in Cracow, Poland, where the working time of routes is balanced and the total time of collection service can be minimized. For the problem, an MIP program was developed to generate optimal crew schedules, so that the hitherto network of segregated solid waste pickup nodes can be served using a heterogeneous fleet in which the share of electric garbage trucks is up to 30%. We study the impact of the changed composition of the fleet on modifications in crew rostering due to the shorter range of an electric vehicle compared to a conventional-fuel-based one.

“…Many studies consider RL from the moment the waste is generated and must be sent for recycling or environmentally correct disposal [26]. However, Guarnieri et al [27] emphasize that RL must be considered for the entire product life cycle, including the planning and design of the productive process.…”

Reverse Logistics Performance Indicators for the Construction Sector: A Building Project Case

et al. 2022

While the performance evaluation of reverse logistics (RL) practices in the construction sector is crucial, it is seemingly limited compared to that in the manufacturing sector. As the project life cycle in the construction sector is typically long, effective coordination among the stakeholders is needed to integrate RL into each phase of the project life cycle. This paper proposes a new model of RL for the construction industry, incorporating the dimensions, elements, and, most importantly, indicators needed for the evaluation of RL performance. The model was initially derived from the extant literature. It was then refined through (1) focus group discussion, by which suggestions pertinent to the proposed model were collated from academics and practitioners, and (2) judgments by academics and practitioners to validate the model. The validated model includes 21 indicators to measure RL performance, spanned throughout the green initiation, green design, green material management, green construction, and green operation and maintenance phases. The paper offers a new method for how RL can be adopted in the construction industry by proposing an innovative model that will benefit stakeholders in the construction industry.

“…For each party, in the process of deciding whether to implement or participate in reverse logistics, the benefits are the main driving force, while the costs and risks are often a hindrance (Baptista et al, 2019;De Oliveira et al, 2021). Currently, scholars have conducted in-depth studies from different dimensions, such as economic, environmental, and social (Ramos et al, 2014;, exploring the revenues and expenses of each party in the implementation of reverse logistics under different strategies or models (Álvarez-Gil et al, 2007;Genc and De Giovanni, 2018;Dhanorkar, 2019;Dominguez et al, 2020) and optimize them in order to achieve the maximum total benefits.…”

The environmental problems caused by excessive waste discharge are becoming more and more prominent, and how to deal with waste has become a problem that has to be done but is extremely costly. On the other hand, from a value chain perspective, waste has been focused on because of its potential value for conversion. Reverse logistics is an important means of turning waste into resources, solving environmental problems and promoting high-quality development, as well as an important reliance on enriching and improving the value chain system and further exploiting the value of products. However, the implementation of reverse logistics is a long-term, complex and dynamic process. Many factors need to be considered by the stakeholders when making decisions. With the help of the evolutionary game approach, this paper establishes a model based on the relationship between the government, enterprises (manufacturing enterprises) and logistics companies, and conducts simulation analysis to provide references for how the three parties implement or participate in reverse logistics. The results of the study show that: 1) The total amount of waste affects the evolutionary direction of enterprises’ decision choices, while the conversion rate of waste has a significant impact on the evolutionary trajectory (speed) of enterprises’ decision choices. 2) When the government’s regulation and punishment of the implementation of reverse logistics is greater, enterprises can choose to implement outsourcing reverse logistics to transfer the risk. 3) Logistics companies give certain discounts to attract enterprises to cooperate with them, but excessive discounts have different degrees of negative impact on the normal operation of both enterprises and logistics companies.
