Abstract: Abstract Due to the increasing environmental awareness of their customers, manufacturing firms have to incorporate an ecological aspect in their corporate identity to remain competitive. In several cases these firms offer an option for their customers to return the product to them after its end-of-use or alternatively its end-of-life. The field of reverse logistics presents an overall approach on how these backward flows of products can be handled efficiently. Therefore, it expands the original focus of logistics to a closed-loop supply chain perspective.
