Abstract :
Now reverse logistics is practiced in many industries and many companies call back EOL products. In practice, not all the types of EOL products can be reused, that the companies are unwilling to call back but also do great harm to the environment. At this time, the government´s regulatory role seems to be especially important. In this paper, we address the quantitative description on the government actions and take into account three EOL products callback systems under the supervision of the government when the EOL products´ remaining value is very little. Some interesting results are presented in this paper.
