“…A sorting process is then carried out, and the appropriate further handling process is determined, which may include repairing, reusing, remanufacturing, recycling, or disposing of the waste [11]. RL drivers include the economy, laws and regulations, and corporate responsibility [12,13]. Srivastava [14] and Mwanza et al [15] also stated that the economy and laws and regulations are the driving factors of the implementation of RL, but the third factor is not the company's responsibility, but rather environmental concern.…”

Consumer Intention to Participate in E-Waste Collection Programs: A Study of Smartphone Waste in Indonesia

Indonesia is a developing country with a low-level e-waste management system based on a limited number of informal initiatives. E-waste requires proper management procedures, which involve the design of a reverse logistics management network. Consumers play a critical role in such a network, because the network runs when they willingly participate as suppliers of waste. This paper applies the Theory of Planned Behavior framework and extends it using Reverse Logistics drivers, the Value Belief Norm Theory, and facility accessibility to explain consumer intention to participate in e-waste collection programs. A survey was conducted on smartphone users in Indonesia, with a total of 324 valid questionnaires. The results showed that government drivers, facility accessibility, and personal attitudes significantly influence consumer intentions. Environmental concern has a positive influence on consumer intentions through the variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior and perceived behavioral control through government drivers. This study shows the need for integration, because the variables reinforce each other. However, neither economic drivers nor subjective norms significantly influence consumer intentions. This finding distinguishes Indonesia from other countries, especially developed countries, in that e-waste collection programs have not become part of the culture in Indonesia. For this reason, Indonesia needs regulations, as the most influential variable, to regulate the implementation of such a program.

This article deals with total waste separation in the frame of a concrete region in Slovakia. The goal of the contribution is to use logistics, modelling, and simulation for the needs of total waste separation and liquidation to the way raw material and usable sources for new use in practice. Results of the simulation show that by total separation and waste recycling in the frame of the concrete analysed region it is possible to produce during the whole year approximately 390,000 m 3 of biogas, and it is possible to obtain approximately €9.3 million per year, which can be used for developing complex recycling systems in the region.

“…This summarizes the three major drivers of reverse logistics as customer service, environmental issues, and economic benefits. The effective role of reverse logistics is demonstrated by the collaboration of the leading retailers of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) and their suppliers as they proactively pursue reverse flows to capture value [22].…”

Green Practices and Strategies in Supply Chain Management

The chapter's focus is on an enterprise collaboration with the members of the value chain and the use of technology to enhance integration. These factors are attributes of supply chain management (SCM). When emphasis is placed on lean and agile supply chains, closed-loop supply chains, reverse logistics, and the practice of just in time (JIT), the operation is transformed to green supply chain management (GSCM). JIT reduces outsourcing of resources, has controlled production and transportation, and uses distribution centers to expedite the distribution process. The utilization of the returned products in reverse logistics for reuse, recycle, and remanufacturing reduces dumping and environmental degradation. The returned materials become additional resource which is value-added to the enterprise. Ultimately, this is a cost saving and a contribution to the enterprise's bottom line and sustainability.
