Reverse Logistics

Reverse logistics is the practice of moving goods from their final destination back through the supply chain for reuse, recycling, and disposal.

A reverse logistics expert target is a goal for a person who specializes in the movement of goods from their final destination back through the supply chain for reuse, recycling, and disposal. 

Improving reverse logistics starts with understanding why goods are being returned, installing monitoring systems, reviewing return policies, investing in technology and equipment to streamline the returns process.

Reverse logistics creates value through resale, reuse, and recycling the goods being returned and creating operating efficiencies related to the movement of the goods.

Reverse logistics contributes to sustainability by focusing on resale and reuse of goods being returned versus disposal.
