Economic sustainability of end-of-life vehicle recycling infrastructure under uncertainty a fuzzy logic approach

This paper presents a modeling approach based on fuzzy logic based system in order to analyze the economic sustainability of End of life vehicle (ELV) dismantlers under uncertainties. The proposed modeling approach with considering the different types of uncertainty including auto manufacturers design changes, technology market and regulations, provides a framework for auto manufacturers to evaluate the impact of design strategies on automobile recycling infrastructure for ensuring sustainable Eco design practices. Moreover, the proposed approach can be utilized by managers of recycling business entities in order to analyze their profit margin in different scenarios and facilitate the decision making process.
