Abstract

In recent years, the decrease of resources and the increase of environmental concerns regarding the burial of industrial waste have led to developing the integrated green supply chain. In this study a multi-objective, multi-echelon, and multi-product closed-loop supply chain system is formulated in a way that considers the total profit, social responsibility, and environmental impacts. To overcome the innate uncertainty in some parameters such as transportation cost, operational costs, and customer demand, a robust counterpart based on the Bental-Nimrovski approach is developed. Finally, the performance of the deterministic and robust models evaluated by implementing the different experiments. The result shows the superiority of the deterministic model based on the mean of all objective functions and the robust model’s superiority based on standard deviations.
