Abstract: The monopolistic producer manufactures both new and remanufactured products, while the government regulates the behavior of the producer by setting a minimum recycling rate. First, by considering the distribution of consumer types, the impact of the regulatory level on the producer due diligence patterns is explored, i.e., the realization of the producer responsibility. Consequently, we explore the way to achieve due diligence under different pricing strategies. Finally, we analyze how the producer should choose the pricing strategy. The results show that the producer has three kinds of due diligence patterns, and thresholds between them are also obtained. With the increase of the regulation level, the producer will achieve due diligence by expanding production scale of both new and remanufactured products under low pricing strategy. While under the high pricing strategy, the producer achieves due diligence by reducing the output of new products and increasing the output of remanufactured products. Furthermore, when green consumers account for a larger proportion of the market, the producer should adopt high pricing strategy, otherwise, he should adopt low pricing strategy.
