“…Also, in support of Hypothesis 2 (H2), the results validated the presence of a relationship between GISs and green packaging with a path coefficient of 0.520. This denotes that GISs have a positive and relatively strong influence on green packaging, which concurs with the results of the studies of Ahmed et al (2018) and (Sharma et al 2021), where GISs are positively associated with green packaging.…”

“…Reverse logistics, however, is described as the set of activities conducted after the sale of a product to recapture value and end the product's life cycle (Yan et al 2021). According to Sharma et al (2021), RL is perceived as the best practice to enhance going greener and the greener productivity of any logistics systems. Reverse logistics provides a wide range of opportunities for improvement, ranging from transportation, storage, customer service and returns processing to supplier management and unexpected revenue sources .…”

“…Reverse logistics provides a wide range of opportunities for improvement, ranging from transportation, storage, customer service and returns processing to supplier management and unexpected revenue sources . Thaba (2017) and Sharma et al (2021) concurred that RL has the ability to provoke internal and external changes, as well as adjusting to the continuously unexpected changes in the market needed to consolidate a logistics network. Sharma et al (2021) claimed that if well implemented, RL can boost the LP of construction companies through reducing costs, improving quality, enhancing flexibility and speed of the logistics network.…”

Background: As a result of globalisation and the growing importance of environmental and social issues, construction companies are expected to reduce the environmental impact of their day-to-day activities and make the industry more environmentally friendly. Many research works published have ignored the critical parameters and dimensions of green supply-chain management (GSCM) and logistics performance as environmental protective practices in the construction industry. Therefore, there is a need to investigate how the construction sector should implement GSCM programmes and logistics performance as environmentally friendly practices in their business activities, which would be beneficial to all stakeholders.Objectives: The present study intends to fill this gap by analysing the impact of environmentally friendly practices, such as GSCM and logistics performance in the construction industry in southern Gauteng. This study considered regulatory pressure, green information systems, green packaging, reverse logistics and logistics performance as environmental protective practices.Method: This study adopted a quantitative approach to survey a sample of 440 suppliers and purchasers’ managers from construction companies in the southern Gauteng province. A judgemental or purposive sampling technique was applied to collect data from respondents. Data were analysed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS 27.0) and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS 27.0). In addition, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were used to analyse the relationship between constructs and test the hypotheses.Results: This study revealed that regulatory pressure, green information systems, green packaging and reverse logistics significantly influence logistics performance of construction companies.Conclusion: Study demonstrated that through GSCM and logistics performance, construction companies can correlate their business activities and the environment effectively.

“…Some articles analyze the efficiency of reverse logistics (Haas, Murphy & Lancioni, 2003;Ratković, Andrejić & Vidović, 2012, Yoon, & Le, 2013, Distribution Centers' (DCs) efficiency as a part of complex supply chains (Ross, & Droge, 2002) and sometimes the DEA models are combined with other models. (Andrejić, Pajić & Kilibarda, 2021;Sharma et al, 2021) Other researchers have tried to combine indicators from field experts and Delphi, AHP, and TOPSIS methods to determine their relevance, weight, and ranking (Kumar et al, 2021) and ranking the success factor according to expert opinions in the literature (Tyagi et al, 2019) or Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) method with intuitionistic fuzzy concept (Kushwaha et al, 2020;Gopal & Panchal 2021).…”

The concept of logistics efficiency, especially reverse logistics efficiency measuring has become one of the key factors in our modern society as business and transportation become increasingly complex and networked. However, reverse logistics involves a high degree of uncertainty, which affects and makes evaluation more difficult. Our motivation and purpose is to present the efforts of one of the world's leading retail companies to improve overall efficiency with a new supplementary measurement and analysis tool. Our initial hypothesis was that unladen logistics returns are inefficient and improvements in this area are more sustainable, so in our design and methodology approach we try to analyze logged data. According to our goals, this study is meant to demonstrate the significance of the reasons and the way to customize data analysis to formulate more adequate suggestions. Through a live practical example, a presentation is given how we can identify and highlight the hotspots to improve reverse logistics. The main results and originality of the paper are to develop a practical scalable model framework which can be customized by companies having a similar problem. Contrary with the well-known DEA models the presented model a system thinking method that provides (up-to-date) information which enables better flexibility and highlights areas of interdependency for development projects.
