Nowadays, to achieve carbon neutrality, e-commerce platforms participate in the sales and recycling of electrical electronic products consideration waste equipment (WEEE) regulations environmental effects. This study builds a Stackelberg game model for an closed-loop supply chain (ECLSC) under different cooperation modes between manufacturer platform. Reverse induction is used obtain optimal decision-making profit ECLSC three modes, considering influence effects on decision objective functions. The results show following: mode cost do not affect WEEE recovery prices manufacturers platforms, nor they government subsidy standards dismantling WEEEs; are, however, positively correlated with benefits. Furthermore, wholesale retail are related costs. Moreover, processing fees imposed costs products; thresholds levy modes. Finally, required by government’s levying lowest hybrid model. Generally speaking, regulations, governments should more higher Meanwhile, increased benefits will always increase profits members, but reduce multichannel product generate manufacturers.
