✦ Synopsis

Re-using the huge quantities of carpet waste that are yearly generated has become a must. A facility location±allocation model for the collection, preprocessing and redistribution of carpet waste is presented. This model diers from other mathematical models for supporting the design of the logistic structure of reuse networks among others in a completely free choice of the locations for preprocessing and in explicitly taking into account depreciation costs. Two applications of the model, one in Europe and one in the United States of America, are described.

In this paper, a finite set in which an optimal solution for a general Euclidean problem of locating an undesirable facility in a polygonal region, is determined and can be found in polynomial time. The general problem we propose leads us, among others, to several well-known problems such as the max
