Abstract :
This paper presents the design of a sustainable recovery network for End-of-life Vehicles (ELVs) in Egypt. A lexicographic mixed integer goal programming approach is proposed for modelling the problem. The deliverables of the proposed mathematical model include: locations for the different facilities and the amount to be allocated to the different End of Life (EOL) options. LINGO^R is used for solving the proposed model. The obtained results have been analyzed to elicit information about the design of the recovery network and the corresponding product-oriented legislation.
