A possible direction for future research is to extend the recoverability analysis to
similar products, such as storage water heaters of other energy sources like natural
gas and oil. Regarding the hybrid production-remanufacturing system, it would be
interesting to design and evaluate more efficient resolution procedures, than the
solving method considered here for the mixed-integer linear programming formulation suggested for the problem. In addition, as it is mentioned at the beginning
of the paper, study the design and configuration of the reverse logistics network for
DESWH is an interesting issue for a future research.
Acknowledgements We would like to thank Rivomark staff for their valuable support, and in
particular their owners Fabián Vidoni and Enzo Vidoni. We also want to thank Prof. Mauricio
Ohanian for his support in the DESWH recovery analysis, and the anonymous reviewers for their
suggestions to improve the quality of the manuscript.
