Description
Summary:碩士 === 中原大學 === 工業工程研究所 === 96 === Along with the time progress, environmental protection has been treated highly. Moreover, due to the European Community directive, WEEE (Waste Electrical Electronic Equipment) directive, regulating that the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment is the responsibility of the manufacturers of such equipment, the recycling of collected WEEE becomes an important issue. In recent years, our country also compels to recycle the waste containers, automobiles, motorcycles, appliances and computer products. This research studies the recycling policy in Taiwan, namely, “fixed rate with announcement - unified subsidy rate” in comparison with the policies of “fixed rate with announcement – market competition subsidy rate” and “fixed rate without announcement - unified subsidy rate” used in other countries. This study analyzes the difference among these three policies and investigates the suitability of the policy used in Taiwan for waste appliances products and computer products. Meanwhile, we are looking for profit optimization between the Recycling Fund Management Board and recycling processes organizations for different subsidy rates under the current Taiwan recycling system. When the government wants to adjust recycling subsidy rates for various products, we hope that our study results can serve as an evaluation tool. Therefore, this study develops a mathematical model, with data analysis through which we find that the waste products with high remaining value are more suitable for the market competition subsidy policy. This can reduce the government burden. In addition, under an increasing recycling rate environment this study obtains the best subsidy rate for consumers and profit optimization for recycling processes organizations. This can help to achieve a win-win situation for the government, manufacturers, and recycling processes organizations together.
