Disruption in the electric power system network can have dramatic effects on supply chain performance in terms of economic and environmental objectives, especially for perishable products. This paper addresses the design of a resilient green-closed loop supply chain network for perishable products under the risk of electric power network disruption. The research has presented an integrated model for the interdependent two-layer network structure as a strategy to mitigate the power disruption risk in order to minimize the expected total network cost and the expected total amount of carbon emissions. Integration of two networks on both objectives along with the effect of products’ lifetime has been analyzed in a real case study of the dairy industry. The results designate that the integration of the two networks leads to improvements in both objective functions. The average total network cost and total carbon emissions have been reduced by 21% and 25% compared to the non-integrated layers, respectively. Furthermore, by increasing the products lifetime, the projected model enjoys higher performance being compared with the non-integrated layers model. This paper concludes that the integrated decision making about the infrastructure networks e.g. power network with the supply chain enjoys economic and environmental benefits for both networks layers under power network disruptions.
