Research On Closed-loop Supply Chain Recovery Strategy Considering Consumers’ Low-carbon Preference And Government Subsidies

As countries around the world strive to maintain the balance between economic development and solving environmental problems,the sustainable development of low-carbon cycle has become an inevitable trend of world development in the future.Closed loop supply chain(CLSC),as a complex that can effectively reduce the consumption of raw materials and solve the problem of environmental pollution,has attracted extensive attention from the government,enterprises and academia.As consumers’ awareness of low carbon has increased,the government has also introduced subsidies for recycling and remanufacturing.Under this background,China’s remanufacturing and recycling industry is facing a good development opportunity.However,how to efficiently implement recycling and remanufacturing is still a key issue facing the recycling manufacturing industry.Therefore,in the context of green and low carbon,discussing "which recycling model should companies choose to increase the recycling rate,so as to complete efficient waste recycling and remanufacturing activities" can be a decision for companies to choose recycling models and the government to seek appropriate subsidies to stimulate closed loops.Supply chain operation efficiency brings new ideas.Based on the closed-loop supply chain theory,low-carbon economy,economic behavior,contract theory,game theory,management and other related knowledge,this article takes the members of the closed-loop supply chain supply chain as the research object,considering both government subsidies and consumer low-carbon preferences.These factors are used to construct the recovery model of the closed-loop supply chain system;then,the optimal strategies of supply chain members in different models are solved and analyzed;finally,numerical simulation is carried out to obtain the general optimal decision-making law.In summary,relevant conclusions are sorted out as follows:(1)The higher the consumer’s product carbon preference,the more manufacturers are willing to invest in carbon emission reduction to expand the market capacity;the closer the recycling entity is to the consumer,the more likely its recycling rate is to be affected by its product’s low-carbon preference.(2)Manufacturers entrusting retailers are the best choice;and manufacturers choosing the "task sharing" cooperative recycling model is always beneficial to increase the recycling rate.For retailers,they are more inclined to increase the sharing of tasks and cooperation between manufacturers.(3)Centralized decision-making is better than decentralized decision-making in a single recycling model.For manufacturers,when entrusting retailers to recycle waste products,they have the largest profit and the highest recovery rate,while entrusting a third party to recycle has the lowest profit,and it is positively correlated with the subsidy price of government units.But for retailers,the model of manufacturers entrusting retailers is not conducive to retailers’ profits,and it is not that the more government subsidies,the better;and the direct responsibility of manufacturers for recycling activities is the optimal recycling mode for retailers.(4)When the government subsidized price is fixed and consumers have high low carbon preference,manufacturers should not cooperate with retailers in "task sharing",nor should they cooperate with third parties in "cost sharing".Because both of these situations are detrimental to the overall profits of the closed-loop supply chain.The manufacturer’s commissioned retailer has the highest total profit,followed by the “task sharing” cooperation model between the manufacturer and the third party,and there is no big gap in total profit under the other models.
