“…Customers are not willing to return medicines before their expiration if they know that there is a chance of future use. Hua et al [36] suggest that customers could receive financial incentives that encourage them to return unwanted medicines. Weraikat et al [37], in turn, suggest that the producer could resell these returned medicines in a subsidiary market at a lower price.…”

Initiatives related to reverse logistics are increasingly common in companies that produce tires, lubricating oils, batteries, and electronic equipment, among others. In the pharmaceutical sector, reverse logistics is also relevant, contributing to reduce medication exposure to other people and the environment. Thus, this research seeks to find out which practices related to reverse logistics are used in 13 hospitals in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Regarding the methodological procedures, this research is supported by interviews with those responsible for disposing of medicines from hospitals, and the best practices were ranked using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. Among the main difficulties for performing Medicine Reverse Logistics practices in hospitals, the absence of a standard process for medicine disposal and medications held by nurses or satellite pharmacies—for being out of control—stand out.

How to deal with the recycling of waste drugs, reduce the waste of social resources and environmental pollution, and promote the sustainable development of society and ecology, has become a social concern. But so far, due to the lack of the legitimacy of reverse logistics of waste drugs, pharmaceutical enterprises are faced with many obstacles to realize the business. Based on legitimacy theory, this study adopts panel discussion to identify three types of legitimacy: cognitive, pragmatic and moral, and their importance in the implementation of reverse logistics. We further analyze how pharmaceutical enterprises acquire these legitimacies. The study found that moral legitimacy is the most important and should be acquired first, and then cognitive and pragmatic legitimacy.
