Abstract:

To tackle the difficulties and resource depletion in current packaging recycling, this paper constructs a centralized decision-making game model and three Stackelberg game models. Specifically, these Stackelberg game models are developed depending on the differences in the game power of participants in the closed-loop supply chain for dual-channel recovery, respectively corresponding to the cases where the manufacturer, the distributor or the third-party recycler is dominant. The optimal solutions of the four models are compared and analyzed. The benefits of decentralized decision-making do not reach the Pareto optimality as compared with centralized decision-making. An improved revenue sharing contract is used to coordinate the supply chain under decentralized decision-making. The validity of the model and the effectiveness of the coordination mechanism are verified by numerical simulation.

Key words: closed-loop supply chain, dual-channel recovery, Stackelberg game theory, contract coordination
