Özet:

The logistics industry has to deal with the difficulties arising from the intensity of the pandemic recently, as well as the problems such as reducing the increasing costs and planning transportation activities. Firms also have responsibilities in the reverse logistics activities. In the context of environmental responsibility, it is extremely important to determine collection points so that recyclable products can be collected in specific centers to be included in the reverse logistics process. In this study, it was aimed to determine the collection points of recyclable products for 19 cities in the Black Sea region. Due to the geographical conditions of the Black Sea region, the analysis was carried out by considering 3 regions, namely the eastern, central and western Black Sea. To determine recycling collection points, simulated annealing method, one of the heuristic technique developed for continuous optimization problems is used and 3 reverse logistics recycling collection points were proposed for the Black Sea region.
