چکیده

در این تحقیق با توجه به کمبود آب در جهان و اهمیت آلودگی زیست‌محیطی فاضلاب، به موضوع آب و تصفیه فاضلاب در زنجیره تأمین پرداخته شده است. پرداخت سوبسید دولتی برای تشویق تولیدکننده به تصفیه فاضلاب پیشنهاد شده است. تصفیه فاضلاب و فروش فاضلاب تصفیه‌شده برای استفاده مجدد منجر به ایجاد اثر بازگشتی حاصل از افزایش کارایی آب می‌شود که میزان مصرف آب تازه را برای تولید بالا می‌برد. با توجه به نقش همزمان دولت و تولیدکننده در این زمینه و تأثیر تصمیمات آن‌ها روی هم، رویکرد نظریه بازی برای قیمت‌گذاری محصول سبز استفاده شده است. تحلیل نتایج و حل یک مثال واقعی از صنعت لبنیات ایران نشان داد که با توجه به هدف دولت برای کاهش آلودگی زیست‌محیطی و کاهش مصرف آب در بخشی که پساب تصفیه‌شده استفاده می‌شود، معمولا تصفیه فاضلاب برای هر دو بازیکن دولت و تولیدکننده، سود بیشتری نسبت به تصفیه نکردن فاضلاب دارد.

چکیده [English]

Escalating freshwater depletion and contamination driven by anthropogenic activities significantly threaten global water accessibility, jeopardizing food security, environmental integrity, and economic prosperity. The dearth of water resources worldwide and the significance of the adverse effects of wastewater pollution on the environment have promoted the discussion of water and wastewater treatment in the supply chain in this research. A subsidy has been proposed to encourage producers to treat wastewater to create a sustainable supply chain. The government will determine the subsidy. Wastewater generated during the production process undergoes treatment and is subsequently marketed for reuse within the supply chain. Wastewater treatment coupled with the reuse of treated wastewater in the supply chain effectively reduces freshwater consumption. Subsequently, the green manufacturer determines the selling price of each green product unit by considering the cost of wastewater treatment, the rise in fresh water consumption due to the rebound effect, and the impact of the amount of government subsidy for wastewater treatment. Given the concurrent roles of the government and the green producer within this domain and the impact of their decisions on each other, the game theory approach has been employed for the first time for pricing the green product under the mentioned conditions. This holistic approach offers a more realistic appraisal of freshwater consumption in production and paves the way for formulating effective water management strategies towards sustainable production. In this study, the designed game has been solved under two structures, namely Nash and Stackelberg. A parametric analysis of the parameters of the problem is conducted. A real-life case study from the food industry of Iran is solved. The analysis of the results revealed that wastewater treatment for both the government and the green producer as players in both structures generally yield higher profits than not treating wastewater.
