Abstract :
In this paper, a System Dynamics model of the third party take-back system for e-waste is presented. Based on this model, the feasibility of this market-oriented third party take-back system is analyzed as the development of economies and the electronics industry in future. Meanwhile, the benefits of main shareholders in the system and the changing trend of the pollutant amount caused by e-waste are also discussed if this system is introduced. Finally, taking mobile phone industry as a stimulating example, the result indicates that this market-oriented third party take-back system will be practical, profitable and environmental-protected.
