Reverse logistics: The game between government and distribution centers on recycling products packaging

The paper sets up and analyzes the game model of government and distribution centers on recycling products packaging with game theory. And the equilibrium is solved. The studies indicate as follows. In the situation of definite cost, benefits for recycling products packaging, and premium put by government, the punishment probability by government becomes smaller, and the recycling probability of distribution centers becomes much larger, as penal sum becomes larger. Then distribution centers can choose optimum strategy of "recycle". Meanwhile, in the situation of definite punishment cost, the recycling probability of distribution centers becomes much larger with the larger fine of government. So the effective implementation of government laws and regulations can promote the recycle of products packaging.
