Method of the Waste Electrical Reverse Logistics Environmental Impact Assessment Based on Rough Set Theory

Abstract:

Based on the principle of the ISO14042 standard on life cycle impact assessment, the paper uses the environmental eco-indicators to evaluate the environmental impact of waste electrical in reverse logistics. Firstly, build environmental impact indicator system based on the method of eco-indicator99, and use rough set theory to calculate the weight of all the indicators. Then combine the weight with eco-indicator99 database to calculate the environmental eco-indicators. Finally, take waste refrigerator for example to illustrate the process of environmental impact assessment of general waste electrical.
