Leading Approaches in the Accelerated Development of Reverse Secondary Resource Logistics

Abstract

Our paper tackles and justifies the feasibility of a comprehensive review of reverse logistics with the inclusion of secondary resources in order to ensure the reproduction cycle. Moreover, we propose a refined formulation of the concept of reverse logistics with regard to waste management activities. In our view, this topic represents one of the leading approaches in this field that needs to be studied and developed further. Our findings allow to construct the classification of secondary resources as well as to establish the criteria for the level of preparedness of secondary resources for use that influence the process of the movement of secondary resources from the source of origin to the point of consumption. We consider such issues as the flow of secondary resources in conjunction with the flow of returns of goods as well as packaging and packaging in order to build a more efficient logistics system of secondary resources, reducing the volume of education and disposal of waste. Our findings demonstrate that the application of the concept of logistics in the field of extraction of secondary resources from solid waste streams would allow both researchers and practitioners to find new ways that would allow to drastically improve the efficiency of capital use together with ensuring a higher competitiveness and leadership potential for all participants in integrated logistics chains.
