Abstract

This article describes how technology growth and the lifecycle of devices and also other tendencies for buying new devices all cause a huge mass of electronic waste. Due to materials used in production which are dangerous or valuable metals, the environmental aspects and natural resources make electronic waste management and electronic waste recycling a pressing subject. This article studies electronic waste recycling and its importance in research of closed loop supply chain management and the impact of electronic waste recycling. Using structural equation modelling to study the factors, data was collected from 120 expert questionnaires and analyzed by SPSS and SmartPLS. Causal relationships among the studied factors and efficacy coefficients of each factor were identified by the fuzzy DEMATEL technique. Finally, the dynamic model was plotted by VENSIM.
