Abstract
With the escalating issue of plastic pollution, exploring suitable post-consumer plastic waste (PCPW) recycling holds significant importance for global environmental protection. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel PCPW recycling platform (PRP) that offers two recycling strategies to improve the recycling level of PCPW. Then, we construct a Stackelberg game model to analyze and compare three recycling strategies, i.e., traditional recycling strategies, only trade-in for cash, and trade-in for cash and for new. Meantime, we consider the impact of consumer preference and government subsidies on recycling strategies. Research finding: (1) The operation of PRP increases the value of PCPW, particularly PRP’s only trade-in for cash has the highest recycling price. (2) PRP’s trade-in for cash and for new can attract more consumers to participate in PCPW recycling under certain conditions. (3) PRP’s only trade-in for cash enables recyclers and remanufacturers to reap greater benefits. To ensure the robustness of our research results, we conduct further analysis to explore the impact of corporate social responsibility (CRS) and the hassle cost. The study also provides management implications for promoting PCPW recycling.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review is a reputable journal that publishes high-quality articles covering a wide range of topics in the field of logistics and transportation research. The journal welcomes submissions on various subjects, including transport economics, transport infrastructure and investment appraisal, evaluation of public policies related to transportation, empirical and analytical studies of logistics management practices and performance, logistics and operations models, and logistics and supply chain management.
Part E aims to provide informative and well-researched articles that contribute to the understanding and advancement of the field. The content of the journal is complementary to other prestigious journals in transportation research, such as Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, Part B: Methodological, Part C: Emerging Technologies, Part D: Transport and Environment, and Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour.
