“…• Reuse: implies very basic activities to recondition the product (cleaning, minor repairs) that do not modify their structure or their nature (see [22] for a detailed analysis). • Remanufacturing: requires additional activities (disassembly, inspection, repair, and assembly) to recover the value of the returned products and give them similar qualities and technical characteristics to the original products: laptops, printers, mobile phones, etc.…”

“…Recovery Process: can be considered as the key element of an RL network due to, in this phase, the economic value of the returned product being recovered through one of the following options: Reuse: implies very basic activities to recondition the product (cleaning, minor repairs) that do not modify their structure or their nature (see [22] for a detailed analysis). Remanufacturing: requires additional activities (disassembly, inspection, repair, and assembly) to recover the value of the returned products and give them similar qualities and technical characteristics to the original products: laptops, printers, mobile phones, etc. Recycling: only the economic value of the raw materials is recovered, so the returned product loses its identity: packaging material, glass, paper, plastic, etc. …”

This paper is aimed at introducing the concept of reverse logistics (RL) and its implications for supply chain management (SCM). RL is a research area focused on the management of the recovery of products once they are no longer desired (end-of-use products, EoU) or can no longer be used (end-of-life products) by the consumers, in order to obtain an economic value from the recovered products. This way, RL has become a matter of strategic importance, an element that companies are considering in their decision-making processes related to the design and development of their supply chains. In addition, a description of the implications of RL for SCM will be discussed and, finally, an analysis of some of the opportunities and challenges that RL implies for SCM will be presented.

“…RL is assumed to be the nucleus of Closed Loop Supply Chain (CLSC). The CLSC integrates RL into the conventional process of SC that accounts for both forward and reverse flows of products (Carrasco-Gallego, Ponce-Cueto, and Dekker 2012). This approach is very common end users return products because they are no longer needed, are faulty, and/or do not satisfy their need, which is where CLSC comes in.…”

Reverse Logistics and Closed Loop Supply Chain Management (RL&CLSCM) are universally recognised as two environmentally friendly practices that could help in greening conventional supply chains. The popularity of these fields of research has led to the evolution of a vast number of publications in the literature. Various journals have so far contributed to the advancement of the field, with the International Journal of Production of Research (IJPR) being one of the most prominent contributed journals. To celebrate the 55th volume anniversary of IJPR, this review study aims to investigate the studies in the area of RL&CLSCM published in IJPR. The paper presents a thorough bibliometric and content analysis of 94 studies that were published in IJPR from 2000 until July 2017. The studies initially underwent a rigorous bibliometric and mapping analysis that helped to identify their characteristics. Subsequently, the contents of the sample papers were evaluated thoroughly. The content analysis led to classification of the papers into two main categories and sub-categories, and then to rigorous identification of the papers' attributes. The bibliometric and content analysis disclosed several research gaps that remain to be addressed in IJPR.

“…The reverse logistics issue has become extremely important not only to protect the environment but also within the social and economic fields, as the raw materials required for the production of various products are becoming scarce and expensive. Reuse practices contribute to the environmental and economic sustainability of production and distribution systems (Carrasco‐Gallego, Ponce‐Cueto, & Dekker, ).…”

This paper analyzes the influence of an aluminum smelter of reverse logistics on its reuse of domestic raw materials. It also analyzes reverse logistics financial impact on the smelter, and how reverse logistics can help reduce the purchase of raw materials, which optimizes inventory and controls costs. In addition to environmental savings, it is also possible for reverse logistics to make an organization more powerful in the competitive market. This case study was carried out based on a review of the literature on policies, programs, regulations and laws, as well as on related work in reverse logistics, particularly related to the recycling of aluminum recycling. The reverse logistics actions by the company analyzed in this study achieved annual savings (in U.S. dollars [US$]) of US$ 68,437.70. The study shows that a well‐managed reverse logistics program can be effective and can reduce phases within the organization, achieving not only considerable savings in financial resources but also constituting a social responsibility action.
