Abstract

The work define the methodology to design, on the base of the Reverse Logistics Network theories, a quantitative model that simulate the mechanism in which the citizen waste recovery flow to the citizen collection center, up to the Reprocessing Center for recycling and then the disposal. The model is based on System Dynamics concepts, simulated in iThinkR environment, in order to represent the PUSH/PULL hybrid logic for the management of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electric Equipment) physical and informative flows. The model will be implemented and the simulation results will be analysed focusing on efficiency parameters, analysing the Current State Map and creating the Future State Map.
