Green product development under competition: A study of the fashion apparel industry

We study a supply chain consisting of a central remanufacturing facility and a number of collection sites (CS). The central facility procures returned items from the CS for remanufacturing and sale. We examine whether it is advisable to establish a sorting procedure that identifies those units that are suitable for remanufacturing before disassembly. Sorting is subject to classification errors and may be performed either centrally or locally at the CS. Assuming stochastic demand, infinite horizon and deterministic yield at the CS we obtain the optimal parameters of the replenishment policy under each one of the three possible system configurations: no sorting, central sorting and local sorting. It is then easy to determine the value of sorting and the preferred CS for the procurement of returned items.

Extended producer responsibility: Regulation design and responsibility sharing policies for a supply chain

In this paper, we study the problem of responsibility sharing for product recovery, and its relation to the design of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations. By defining several scenarios for responsibility sharing policies, we show that designing an EPR regulation and allocating the responsibilities within the supply chain must be done simultaneously. Furthermore, we prove that sharing the penalties and rewards of collection and remanufacturing with the retailer has no financial or environmental impact if the manufacturer is collecting. However, making the retailer solely responsible to collect results in a higher collection rate, and in more new and fewer remanufactured products. Finally, a numerical analysis is performed for three electronic products to illustrate the use of our model. This research provides a set of guidelines for regulators seeking to improve environmental standards by designing and implementing EPR regulations.
