The shortage of material and environmental legislations have encouraged car manufacturers to recycle used material in end of life vehicles (ELVs), reverse logistics are essential to the concerns of the automotive supply chain. In this research, a profit model multi-echelon reverse logistics network including collection center, shredder center and recycling center is developed to recycle automotive parts. The work was continued by illustrating empirical application in wiring harness manufacturer that would like to recycle wire harnesses and extract copper. With regards to the complexity of the reverse logistics network, traditional method cannot be implemented for solving them. Thus, an evolutionary algorithm based genetic algorithm (GA) is applied as a solution methodology to solve mixed integer linear programming model and find the optimum solution. The results emphasize the efficiency of the modeling and solving method so that in the case study the company gained more than 27 thousand dollars through the establishment of reverse logistics for recycling copper.

Thousand Millions of e-waste generated annually over the world. In 2012 289.32 metrics kilotones of e-waste generated in Malaysia. A good reverse logistics network design is needed to support the product recovery process in order to reduce waste disposal and landfill. This paper propose a mathematical model to examine if the reverse logistics of each state on Malaysia can be sustain with the profit made from resell of refurbished computers and components to cover the cost of overall system. In the case study we examine the model in each state of Malaysia with the information of Malaysia Census 2010 to determine if any such facility can be establish. The research will recommend reverse logistics approach appropriate to Malaysia.
