Abstract: In accordance with modern environmental, legal, social and economic factors, this has attracted a large number of academics and industry workers to attend to matters relating to the reverse supply chain and the closed-loop supply chain. This interest has been reflected in the vast number of publications published in scientific journals in recent years. As a result of the limited presence of some natural resources in the supply chain as part of the physical supply in the chain, companies turned to recycling, turning to the concept and using it to their advantage in order to determine the costs of purchasing raw materials and recycling in such a way as to allow purchase at the lowest price while avoiding waste of financial resources. The idea of a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) revolves around restoring resources from customers, remanufacturing them and then re-marketing them. The current study recommends highlighting the social aspect of clients and the role of this concept in the realization of green practices. Therefore, a comprehensive review of past literature with up-to-date and evolving papers is vital to frame this concept from the past to the present, and to highlight future trends. The aim of this paper is to review papers recently published in the reverse supply chain with reverse loops in scientific journals. Similarly, this will include models of closed-loop supply chains, factors affecting closed-loop supply chains, and their types.
