Quantity Prediction and Optimal Disposal Capacity of Waste Electric Appliances Based on Election Campaign Algorithm

Abstract:

Disused electric appliances have become new urban polluter because of the replacing of appliances households and corporates throw away. The accurate estimation of the future waste electric appliances production can help the government draw out best strategies to cope with the problem of the electronic products over-production and recycling. By using system dynamics method, the concept of product life span and increase limit, the washer waste volume in the future 20 years was predicted. By using scenario analysis, three waste output models most likely occur were simulated. In this case, we use election campaign algorithm to calculate the optimal time for adjusting the disposal capacity were investigated. This analysis can help to solve the impending problem of surplus electronic waste and provide a reference for the government to make policies.
