This challenge arises because customers continuously upgrade to new models within a very short timeframe. As a result, maintaining an optimal inventory level in retail outlets becomes difficult to prevent stock-outs and overstock situations in a dynamic market. Furthermore, electronic waste (e-waste) increases significantly, raising additional environmental concerns. This study develops a new closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) logistics model to tackle these issues. This CLSC model is designed by integrating a new production approach known as rolling planning production schedules (RPPS). The main feature of the RPPS is that real market demands dictate the manufacturing quantity at the factory. Additionally, RPPS lead time is included in developing the proposed CLSC model, replacing simultaneous flow systems with periodic flow systems of goods from one stakeholder to its successive stages. Also, <em>K</em>-means algorithm was applied to cluster stores for efficient shipment. Afterward, a second alternative model was also developed to compare the performance of the suggested model, where a fixed production volume manufacturing approach was utilized instead of the RPPS. The findings indicate that the proposed model yields better results than the second alternative. Moreover, by adjusting the model's parameters, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to confirm the model's robustness and the reliability of the results. The sensitivity study demonstrated that the suggested model can produce consistent outcomes when a large-scale problem size and a recurrent simulation environment are employed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100256,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Waste Systems","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100392"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144860905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In resource-constrained regions like Nigeria, uncompatibilized recycling of LDPE/EPS waste offers a low-cost path to valorize plastic pollution. Addressing this issue requires innovative recycling strategies that can transform waste into valuable materials. This study developed an uncompatibilized sustainable polymer blend from post-consumer waste and investigated the physical and mechanical properties of recycled LDPE blended with EPS under resource-constrained conditions as a sustainable rigid alternative to polypropylene (PP) for static applications, though trade-offs in impact resistance were observed. In achieving this, triplicate samples were statistically validated (ANOVA, p < 0.05), LDPE/EPS blends were prepared in varying weight ratios (80/20, 75/25, 70/30, 65/35, and 60/40) using a two-roll mill and compression molding. A series of tests; density, tensile strength, elongation at break, tensile modulus, flexural strength, hardness, and impact resistance; were conducted on triplicate samples, with results expressed as mean ± standard deviation.

However, increasing EPS content reduced elongation at break, indicating increased brittleness due to EPS's rigidity, though flexural strength (23.77 MPa) remains 56 % lower than PP (53.59 MPa), restricting load-bearing use.
