Abstract

In this study, the design of a sustainable closed-loop supply chain network for agricultural products with the goals of minimizing the cost and emission of greenhouse gases and maximizing the response to customer demand, and creating justice-based job opportunities, simultaneously, are aimed. The intended chain is based on the fruit supply chain study, which includes fresh fruits, concentrate, and vermicompost fertilizer. A mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model has been developed to achieve the triple bottom line. Due to the nature of the NP-hard problem, the proposed model is solved using metaheuristic approaches consisting of two renowned algorithms, NSGA-II and NRGA, and a relatively new algorithm called NSGA-III. It is worth noting that the parameters of the algorithms are adjusted to achieve the best performance in small, medium, and large-size problems exerting the Taguchi method. After comparing the results of the three algorithms based on the well-known criteria, NRGA is introduced as the superior algorithm. Ultimately, the results of sensitivity analysis indicate that appending the possibility of using vermicompost in gardens and considering several vehicles in the proposed sustainable supply chain boosts the values of economic and environmental objective functions to about 6.4 and 8.2%, respectively.
