“…Several research perspectives and methodologies have been conducted in the field of RSC. Hosseini-Motlagh et al (2022) investigated a novel saving-cost sharing contract for a sustainable pharmaceutical RSC network that fortifies the supply chain in profitmaking under competition conditions. Shetty et al (2022) modeled an RSC network to collect plastic wastes from end-consumers and reinject the recycled products into the network for future applications.…”

“…Arena simulation is used to develop a reverse logistics network for the collection of batteries from the customer that has attained its EoL (Jayant et al, 2014). Waste from electrical and electronic equipment refers to domestic appliances, IT and telecommunications equipment, monitoring, electrical, and electronic tools (excluding large-scale stationary industrial tools), control instruments, and similar items (Hosseini-Motlagh et al, 2022). The importance of transportation is also been highlighted by one of the most prominent studies on waste from electrical and electronic equipment by Kara et al, (2007) in which reverse logistics networks for collecting end-of-life appliances in the Sydney Metropolitan Area have been discussed.…”

The study covers the concepts involved in reverse supply chain modeling using the case of a manufacturing company. The purpose of this study is to build a sustainable reverse supply chain model for resource conservation through remanufacturing of stator shafts by using a discrete-event simulation approach. The simulation studies in the reverse supply chain have taken up cases of either plastic or electronic waste remanufacturing, while very limited studies deal with simulation of sustainable reverse supply chains using a manufacturing industry case study from international customers. In this study, reverse supply chain using simulation study in manufacturing sector is carried out using Arena Rockwell simulation software. The simulation model is built using discrete-event simulation for returns from customers of two developed countries, i.e., Germany and the USA to Chennai, India. The study emphasizes full container load and less than container load modes of shipment scenarios and multiple return cases. The comparative analysis suggests that the value-added and non-value-added time of the reverse supply chain is slightly greater in the less container load scenario. The wait time per entity in remanufacturing processes similar for both shipment scenarios varies significantly based on return cases. The cost and carbon emission associated with transportation, in the reverse supply chain inclusive of social carbon cost, have also been estimated. Therefore, the study proposes a possible sustainable reverse supply chain framework that could be adopted by different manufacturing industries and yield opportunities for performance improvement.

“…One of the problems in primary healthcare is the lack of a physical structure with appropriate facilities and equipment for the collection process of managing unwanted drugs (Hosseini-Motlagh et al 2022 ). The most significant challenge described in the study by Kandasamy et al ( 2022 ) was the difficulty of reprocessing, followed by the lack of transport and infrastructure.…”

“…Khan and Ali ( 2022 ) mention that the lack of financial resources and funding, market challenges, and lack of coordination and collaboration across the entire supply chain network were listed as the main barriers while industrial symbiosis, reverse logistics infrastructure, and blockchain technology as the top-ranked enablers. Hosseini-Motlagh et al ( 2022 ) present a contract model based on the sharing of cost savings associated with drug disposal that can maximize supply chain profitability and coordinate the two levels of the reverse chain under competition. The results reveal that companies enjoy considerable monetary benefit, better social image, and higher level of sustainability using the proposed scheme.…”

The management of healthcare waste and end-of-life medication coming from different sources are primary challenges faced by public health leaders. Several factors may be considered critical and inhibitive to reverse logistics within the context of waste management processes. If those factors are not addressed, they may become obstacles to reverse logistics implementation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect that critical factors play in the adoption of end-of-life management practices for medication and its influence on logistics performance. Literature provided some critical factors: management factor, collaboration factor, information technology factor, infrastructure factor, politics factor, financial and economic factor, end-of-life management practices, and logistics performance factor. A sample of 67 professionals from the public pharmaceutical care process answered a structured questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed using partial least square-structural equation modeling. The theoretical structural test confirmed eleven out of the fifteen hypotheses considered. The results have indicated that end-of-life management practices exert a direct influence on logistics performance. The analysis confirmed a direct effect of the information technology factor on end-of-life management practices, but not a moderation effect. Findings have contributed to the literature by providing deeper insights into the relationship between end-of-life management practices for medicines and logistics performance. Moreover, it supports health managers’ decision-making in the pharmaceutical care process improvement and engagement with solid waste management policies.
