Abstract: Considered within the scope of sustainability, reverse logistics, which includes the recycling process and waste management, is the process of dealing with the current flow from the end consumer to the supplier in the logistics processes in the opposite direction. The aim of this study, which deals with these two important concepts, is to provide a different perspective to the studies to be done in this field by considering the sustainable reverse logistics studies that have been made in the literature over time. In this direction, 52 articles based on sustainable reverse logistics are examined and analysed. With this study, it is aimed to detail the reverse logistics activities, which are one of the areas of use, by drawing attention to the concept of sustainability, and to contribute to the increase of sustainable reverse logistics studies by drawing attention to the gains and gaps in the literature.
