In this article it is presented a market study case that allowed a recycling specialized organization with physical space to implement the reverse logistic of the following packing residues: cardboard, Styrofoam, plastic and aluminum into correct residue destination. This study's objective consists in developing a methodology to evaluate economic and environmental advantage of the reverse logistic implementation in the supermarket. The utilized method consists in observing and semi-structure interviewing, allowing it to develop a case study. To analyze the environmental improvement, the Mass Intensity Total was measured, to determine the environmental impact reduction. The research results indicate economic and environmental advantage very representative, which may improve the decision making and access to the reverse logistic, favoring the sustainability in the supermarket retail.
Part 2: Knowledge Discovery and SharingInternational audienceThe aim of this work consisted in applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) by considering the generic criteria and sub-criteria to select logistic operator to store and transport frozen products. The outcome of the AHP analysis is a preference priority for each alternative operator describing the expected performance level. Results pointed that the proposed model could be considered as a good alternative to this problem, thus contributing to achieve the goals of the organization
