TLDR
In this article, the authors provide an overview of existing take-back legislation and the papers that have studied various research questions associated with them, particularly focusing on papers that studied the impact of these regulations on the recycling and remanufacturing industries.Abstract:
Take-back legislation holds producers financially responsible for handling and treating their products at end of life. A growing number of countries around the world have enacted such legislation, especially for electrical and electronic products. Clearly, such legislation impacts the strategic and operational decisions of companies operating in the affected industries and the operations management literature recently started to analyze these problems. In this chapter, we provide an overview of existing take-back legislation and the papers that have studied various research questions associated with them. Our focus is particularly on papers that have studied the impact of these regulations on the recycling and remanufacturing industries.read more

Take‐Back Legislation: Consequences for Remanufacturing and Environment
TL;DR: The conditions under which increased remanufacturing due to take-back legislation causes an increase in total environmental impact are characterized and the impact of legislation on consumer surplus and manufacturer profits is model and identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Product Reuse in Innovative Industries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider how the rate of this required innovation, which might be fast or slow depending on the product, affects reuse decisions and find that optimal reuse decreases with rate of innovation, implying that models that ignore innovation overestimate the optimal amount of reuse that a company should pursue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and planning of a closed-loop supply chain with three way recovery and buy-back offer
TL;DR: In this paper, a recovery framework is proposed by employing buy-back offer at retailer level, which is integrated with an optimization model for a multi-period closed-loop supply chain under demand and capacity uncertainty to determine optimal buyback price that needs to be offered to consumers so that the minimum collection limit set by the legislators is fulfilled as well as overall cost of the integrated system is minimized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supply chain design for unlocking the value of remanufacturing under uncertainty
TL;DR: A two-stage stochastic closed-loop supply chain design model that incorporates the uncertainties in the market size, the return volume as well as the quality of the returns, and explicitly represents the difference in customer valuations of the new and the remanufactured products is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The joint tax-subsidy mechanism incorporating extended producer responsibility in a manufacturing-recycling system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the joint tax-subsidy mechanism using game theory by considering a manufacturing-recycling system consisting of a government, a manufacturer, and a recycler.

Closed-Loop Supply Chain Models with Product Remanufacturing
TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of choosing the appropriate reverse channel structure for the collection of used products from customers and shows that simple coordination mechanisms can be designed such that the collection effort of the retailer and the supply chain profits are attained at the same level as in a centrally coordinated system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reverse Channel Design: The Case of Competing Retailers
TL;DR: This paper examines how the allocation of product collection to retailers impacts their strategic behavior in the product market, and discusses the economic trade-offs the manufacturer faces while choosing an optimal reverse channel structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remanufacturing as a Marketing Strategy
TL;DR: It is shown that under competition remanufacturing can become an effective marketing strategy, which allows the manufacturer to defend its market share via price discrimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Competition on Recovery Strategies
Mark Ferguson,L. Beril Toktay +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop models to support a manufacturer's recovery strategy in the face of a competitive threat on the remanufactured product market, and find that a firm may choose to remanufacture or preemptively collect its used products to deter entry even when the firm would not have chosen to do so under a pure monopoly environment.

Managing New and Remanufactured Products
TL;DR: It is found that if remanufacturing is very profitable, the original-equipment manufacturer may forgo some of the first-period margin by lowering the price and selling additional units to increase the number of cores available for remanufactured in future periods.
