Study on the recycling cooperation in reverse logistics participating in multi-client to multi-agent under multi-stage

With the apposed system of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), manufacturers can adopt the third-party recycling mode instead of its extended responsibility. Based on the recycling cooperation structure model of M nodes with multi-client to multi-agent, using game theory analyze the partnership among the different benefit bodies of the recycling structure deeply. And then have a conclusion that the number of the participating company of any node has dual effects. One effect is with the increasing the number of the participating company of any node, the recycling quantity and the entrusted price will increasing, this will be conducive to environmental protection. And the other is with the increasing the number of the participating company of any node, it will lead to decrease the recycling benefit not only to the whole structure, but also to every node, even to every company participating in any node.
