Product Modularity and the Design of Closed-Loop Supply Chains (2004, background): “Moreover, increased recycled content for new products manufacturing is required.(2) Commercial returns are also increasing due to trends such as product leasing, catalogue/internet sales, shorter product”
An analysis of decentralized collection and processing of end-of-life products (2007, background): “Although this topic has been discussed from a strategic business perspective in several articles ( Toffel, 2003 and references therein), there are relatively few analytical models that address this issue and provide models for decision making.”

Environmental and economical sustainability of WEEE closed-loop supply chains with recycling: a system dynamics analysis (2010, background): “... is estimated between 6.5 and 7.5 million tonnes per year, constituting around 4% (by mass) of the total municipal waste stream [5, 6]. It is also estimated that the amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) increases 16–28% every year, which means a growth rate three times as fa”
