“…The same way the public policy in many countries can influence through the rules included in the law the regulation of reverse logistics. However, some modern companies build their corporate brand directly on their relationship to the environment [Antonyová et al 2016]. [1] That is why some of the modern companies rely on the recycling.…”

“…However, some modern companies build their corporate brand directly on their relationship to the environment [Antonyová et al 2016]. [1] That is why some of the modern companies rely on the recycling. The term of recycling was spread wildly in the near end of twentieth century, the definition of recycling in polish legislation is: "such recovery, which consists of repeating the processing of substances or materials contained in waste in the manufacturing process for obtaining a substance or material of its original purpose or other purpose including organic recycling, excluding energy recovery"…”

“…While in the large factories reverse logistics system is a direct part of the production process, in small and medium sized enterprises logistics channels are self-built, often not directly dependent on the manufacturing process [Antonyová et al 2016]. [1] Nowadays many big companies like PSP Lębork (which handle the palettes and packaging for Farm Frites Poland), DHL or Amazon are obligated to be using Reverse Logistics. For example, they re-use the pallets or boxes, they shred the packaging in special shredders to later form a new package with them.…”

Reverse logistics is a dynamically developing field, which is based on the flow of goods in the opposite direction to the traditional (from consumer to producer). The main purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of reverse logistics and to characterize specific solutions used in its aspect, as well as to present the advantages of using this type of logistics. To illustrate the theoretical considerations were used some reverse logistics processes in enterprises and the benefits that have been achieved as a result of them. K e y w o r d s: reverse logistics, innovations in logistics, reverse logistics benefits.

“…In this context, recycling refers to reprocessing of materials contained in returns during the production process to obtain material to be used along with its original purpose or with another one [7]. Antonyova et al [8] defined several factors that have a direct impact on the development and successful application of the effective reverse logistics system. Reverse logistics is a movement of materials from a typical final consumption in an opposite direction to regain value or to dispose of wastes.…”

The aim of this article is to provide analysis and description of deposit and recycling system of disposable beverage packaging, which started in the Slovak Republic in 2022. The article provides the review of relevant literature with a focus on circular economy and Deposit Refund System (DRS), where analysis of refund systems was performed for this work. The proposed model involving reverse logistics describes how such deposit and collection system can work in practice, highlighting potential disadvantages, mainly the high investment costs. Therefore, the article also includes a financial analysis exploring potential cost of establishing said deposit and collection system. The number of necessary collection point for Slovakia has been determined and the total investment costs for the vending machines installations and service in Slovakia has been calculated.

“…Although the RL-concept has been intensively researched in recent years and from different perspectives (Huscroft, Hazen, Hall and Hanna, 2013; Huscroft, Hazen, Hall, Skipper and Hanna, 2013; Narayana et al , 2014), the decision of whether to combine forward and reverse logistical flows or keep them separated is under-researched (Krikke et al , 2013; Antonyová et al , 2016). Fleischmann et al (2000) questioned whether or not to combine or separate forward and RL flows, but since then quantitative models all assume that combined flows are the optimal solution due to the economic advantage of using the same facilities (Difrancesco and Huchzermeier, 2016).…”

Purpose -While forward logistics handles and manages the flow of goods downstream in the supply chain from suppliers to customers, reverse logistics (RL) manages the flow of returned goods upstream. A firm can combine reverse logistics with forward logistics, keep the flows separated, or choose a position between the two extremes. The purpose of this paper is to identify the contextual factors that determine the most advantageous position, which the paper refers to as the most advantageous degree of combination. Design/methodology/approach-The paper first develops a scale ranging from 0% combination to 100% combination (i.e. full separation). Second, using contingency theory the paper identifies the contextual factors described in RL-literature that determine the most advantageous degree of combination. The set of factors is subsequently tested using a case study, which applies a triangulation approach that combines a qualitative and a quantitative method. Findings -Results show six distinct contextual factors that determine the most advantageous degree of combination. Examples of factors are technical product complexity, product portfolio variation, and the loss of product value over time. Practical implications -For practitioners the scale of possible positions and set of contextual factors constitute a decision making framework. Using the framework practitioners can determine the most advantageous position of the scale for their firm. Originality/value -Much RL-research addresses intra-RL issues while the relationship between forward and reverse logistics is under-researched. This paper contributes to RL-theory by identifying the contextual factors that determine the most advantageous relationship between forward and reverse logistics, and proposes a novel decision making framework for practitioners.
