Regional E-waste Reverse Logistics System Based on PCB Recycling Unit

Abstract

In China, there is no integrated and effective reverse logistics system for disposing e-waste. Considering from the perspective of a specific region, this paper presents a multi-factor model to analyze how regional factors, including government, economy, technology, consumer, infrastructure and geographical factors, act on a reverse logistics system and to find out which is the decisive factor. Based on the regional factor analysis and combined with China's situation on e-waste disposing entities, modularized management is applied to organize a reverse logistics system in Shao Guan, Guang Dong province of China
