Article Synopsis
- The study used simulations and genetic algorithms to optimize the reverse logistics network for waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, aiming to enhance the circular economy.
- The economic evaluation focused on cost reductions in aspects like fuel, maintenance, and insurance, while the environmental analysis measured impacts like greenhouse gases and land usage.
- Overall, the optimized WEEE reverse chain was found to reduce collection frequency and improve both economic and environmental outcomes, making it a practical model for other regions aiming to minimize their carbon footprint by 2030.
