Implication

Research demonstrates improved e-waste management in Ontario's computer manufacturing, suggesting effective network design.

Key Points

  • A novel mixed-integer linear programming model maximizes total profit for electronic waste management, reducing landfill disposal.
  • Distance calculations using Google Maps support the design of a closed-loop supply chain for e-waste in Ontario, Canada.
  • Application of the optimization model revealed insights into product and part flows in an electronic waste network.
  • Findings indicate that incorporating new and recycled components reduces e-waste and highlights the benefits of a secondary market.
