Abstract :
Based on the research on the reverse logistics network at home and abroad, this paper focuses on the reverse logistics network suitable for waste mobile phones, which consists of collection points, storage sites, disassembly or recycling plants and the final disposition sites. And then a mixed integer programming model has been established. Finally, according to the survey data of recycling channels and Guilin regional characteristics, we have calculated the quantity of waste mobile phones of the Guilin in 2006 and have identified recycling transport routes and storage sites in the area by means of the established model.
