Factors influencing the remanufacturing of electrical and electronics products in India: A SWOT-AHP approach

Abstract

Electronic waste (e-waste) in India is increasing rapidly which may cause severe health hazard and environment problems. Remanufacturing seems to be one of the method which may lead to sustainable production. The concept of remanufacturing is well recognized and practiced in the countries like UK,USA and Japan. In India it is still in nascent stage. This provide the opportunities for researchers to analyze the factors which may influence the remanufacturing in India. A hybrid model based on SWOT analysis and AHP is formed to identify the critical and most critical factors affecting remanufacturing of electrical and electronics products (EEP) in India after surveying the EEP companies and taking the inputs from experts.
