SUMMARY:On the Effects of Buy-Back Policies: A Model of the Smartphone
 Circular Economy
DESCRIPTION:This work develops a simple model of the smartphone circular
 economy where the buy-back price offered to consumers is the main control
 variable. The model explicitly integrates refurbishment\, recycling\, and
 premature phone replacement encouraged by buy-back incentives. We
 distinguish three types of smartphones: premium\, basic\, and refurbished
 premium phones. Furthermore\, consumers are segmented by buy-back
 sensitivity: sensitive users tend to return their phones and shorten their
 device lifespan\, while non-sensitive users keep their phones longer.
 Additionally\, refurbished consumers can buy new phones in case of
 insufficient supply. Our analysis reveals that with realistic parameters\,
 there exists an optimal buy-back level that minimizes CO2eq. emissions and
 waste\, and this optimum coincides with the equilibrium between supply and
 demand on the refurbished market. However\, depending on the system
 parameters\, negative effects can be observed. For example\, if most
 components are replaced during refurbishment\, emissions increase with the
 buy-back. More generally\, our results highlight the importance of
 eco-design. While the model is applied to smartphones\, its structure is
 generic and can be adapted to other products with refurbishment and
 buy-back incentives.\n\n&nbsp\;
