Navigating the Road to Success: Reverse Logistics Solutions for End-of-Life Products

Abstract

Reverse logistics strategy for end-of-life products involves the management of product returns, recycling, and disposal. The strategy aims to reduce the environmental impact of end-of-life products by promoting their reuse, refurbishment, or recycling. The adoption of reverse logistics strategy requires a comprehensive understanding of the product lifecycle and the challenges associated with the disposal of end-of-life products. This research work aims to highlight the reverse logistics solutions for end-of-life products there by adding to the existing body of knowledge in this area. This study is qualitative in nature, as it will be based on secondary data, which will be gathered through the extensive survey of literature pertaining to the topic of study. The findings of the study will reveal that Successful implementation of a reverse logistics strategy requires collaboration among stakeholders such as manufacturers, retailers, and consumers.

Overall, a well-designed reverse logistics strategy can provide significant environmental and economic benefits by reducing waste, promoting resource efficiency, and improving customer satisfaction. Furthermore, this study chose an underexplored area and examines the importance of reverse logistics solutions for end-of-life products. This research will provide practical implications and strategy involving the designing of a closed-loop supply chain that enables the efficient and effective flow of materials from the point of disposal back to the point of origin. It will also highlight the key components of a reverse logistics strategy that includes product take-back programs, recycling partnerships, and the use of reverse logistics technologies such as tracking and monitoring systems.
