Abstract :
The most of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions are attributed to supply chain activities. Thus, a comprehensive supply chain planning models are essential to maintain the supply chain performance (cost-effectiveness) under environmental policies. These models should capture the trade-offs arising through the interaction between different supply chain processes such as material acquisition, manufacturing, transport, distribution, and recycling. Therefore, we propose a model for strategic supply chain planning that takes into account carbon trading and includes decision on supply chain responsiveness under different environmental regulations: caps on supply chain carbon footprints and recovery rate of products at the end-of-life.
