Abstract: Reverse logistics deals with item flow in the opposite direction of conventional supply chain flow in order to recapture values or to ensure proper disposal. A framework is required for outlining reverse logistics to impart another vision of institution and addresses key issues of management. The study aims for critical examination of available reverse logistics framework in literature based on several distinct classifications. This is a novel approach making an effort to critically examine reverse logistics frameworks. This research focuses on the contribution of academicians/specialists/practitioners in developing frameworks, level of framework verification, mode of framework verification, novelty of frameworks and comparative analysis on reverse logistics literature. This research provides guidelines to get an idea about state-of-art development of reverse logistics frameworks and to build up a unified framework for reverse logistics using a systematic arrangement of reverse logistics constructs/elements.
