Abstract :
With the increase of household appliances, the recycling of waste appliances becomes an urgent problem to be solved. Based on the characteristics of household appliances, the model of recycling household appliances of reverse logistic networks was designed; which includes the collection point, testing center, remanufacturing plant, waste treatment centre, product distribution centers and sales points. The aim is to obtain the smallest transport costs and optimize reverse logistics networks´ establishments of recycling household appliances with genetic algorithms, at last an applied case was given, which shows that genetic algorithm is suitable to establish the optimization model of appliances reverse logistics network.
