Interlinking Multiple Decision Variables Over Different Life Cycle Stages to Realize Effective Reuse and Recycling from a Strategic Viewpoint

Effective reuse and recycling of End-Of-Life (EOL) products is essential for improving resource efficiency. Many studies have been conducted for enabling effective reuse and recycling of EOL products. However, their individual application is not sufficient for the purposes because the main concerns dealt with in each method are strongly interrelated. The objective of the study is proposing a method for interlinking multiple factors over different life cycle stages so that multiple stakeholders involved in different life cycle stages can collaboratively find out more effective solutions than those individually achieved by each stakeholder from a strategic viewpoint.
