In this paper, we develop an integrated framework for the modeling of reverse supply chain management of electronic waste, which includes recycling. We describe the behavior of the various decision-makers, consisting of the sources of electronic waste, the recyclers, the processors, as well as the consumers associated with the demand markets for the distinct products. We construct the multitiered e-cycling network equilibrium model, establish the variational inequality formulation, whose solution yields the material flows as well as the prices, and provide both qualitative properties of the equilibrium pattern as well as numerical examples that are solved using the proposed algorithm.
