Abstract:To explore differential impact of ecological design strategies on decisions of closed-loop supply chain with dual responsibilities (ecological design responsibility and recycling responsibility), this paper considers three ecological design strategies: the strategy to reduce manufacturing costs, the strategy to increase product sales, and the strategy to increase recovery rates. Then Stackelberg game method was used to explore the impact of different ecological design strategies on companies’ dual responsible behavior (ecological design and recycling), profit and environment in the face of closed-loop supply chain with dual responsibilities. The results show that: The level, direction, and strength of eco-design levels on retailer decision-making are different when it comes to considering different eco-design strategies. Consumer price sensitivity and recycling revenue in the recycling market are the key elements that influence the decision of closed-loop supply chain and the choice of manufacturer's ecological design strategy. The elements of ecological design and fixed costs have different effects on the dual-responsibility behavior of enterprises, the wholesale and retail prices of products when it comes to considering different eco-design strategies. From the perspective of promoting dual responsibility fulfillment in closed-loop supply chains, manufacturers should choose different ecological design strategies based on changes in market characteristics at the level of closed-loop supply chains.
