A Multi Objective Decision Making Method for Managing the End of Life Electric and Electronic Equipment

The toxic and dangerous waste material from electrical and electronic equipment is a potential threat for environment and the future of human. The users and governments forced manufactures to take a responsibility for recieving and recovering of their products. Recovering of these products has economical benefit and social benefits. Therefore a management system is essential for recovering the electronic products to maximize the social and economical benefits and minimize the environmental impact. In this paper a multi objective mathematical model is proposed based on sustainable development for selecting the proper options to recover the electronic products .Multi objectives genetic algorithm is used to solve the model. The model validation is conducted through a case study with data from industry .
