Collecting mode selection in a remanufacturing supply chain under cap-and-trade regulation

It is crucial for China to allocate national carbon abatement targets fairly and efficiently. Essentially, the issue of national target allocation is carbon emission quotas allocation among provinces in China. In the case of China’s pledge at Copenhagen Accord, this study employs a modified Fixed Cost Allocation Model (FCAM) to determine permitted emissions of each province in China based on provincial carbon allocation results following Equity principle. Equity principles for carbon emission quotas allocation in our study contain Historical egalitarian, Population egalitarian and Pays ability egalitarian. Provincial allocation results vary in terms of three equity principles, and the allocation results following Pays ability egalitarian is more consistent with Chinese regional development conditions. Thus, in the modified FCAM, the allocation results based on Pays ability egalitarian are selected as constraint condition. The results specify the provinces with higher input-output efficiency obtain more quotas, and carbon emission quotas shift from Central and Western China with less input-output efficiency to Eastern China with higher input-output efficiency. Accordingly, this study proposes the establishment of overall carbon emissions database and provincial carbon market, as well as different low-carbon development path for each province. Our study not only contributes to advancing the existing literature on methodology of regional carbon quota allocation, but also is of special interest to policy makers.

Effects of carbon permits allocation methods on remanufacturing production decisions

The joint tax-subsidy mechanism incorporating extended producer responsibility in a manufacturing-recycling system

This paper examines the impact of the Chinese recycling subsidy policy (CRS-policy) on the recycling and reuse industry across the whole product life cycle. We propose a closed-loop dynamic system to illustrate the production flow and interactions among various industry and market factors. A simulation analysis is conducted using data on gas auto engines in China to evaluate the effectiveness of the CRS-policy in encouraging product recycling and reuse. Specifically, we analyze the preventative and regenerative effects of the CRS-policy, and its impact on environmental pollution and social welfare. We further investigate how market factors, including the manufacturer’s innovation environment, consumer environmental awareness and sensitivity to the subsidy, and recycling and reuse industry profit, affect the effectiveness of the CRS-policy. The study provides strong evidence of the important role of the subsidy policy in the recycling and reuse industry and offers insightful recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of the subsidy policy.
