Reverse logistics &
Circular Economy

Imagine a world in which products do not simply disappear once they have served their purpose – but enter a circular economy in which recyclable materials flow back, resources are preserved and environmental impact is minimized. This world will not come about by chance, but by systematically rethinking our production and supply chains. At the heart of this transformation is reverse logistics: a key area that ensures that products and materials are reintegrated into the cycles instead of ending up in landfills.

The importance of reverse logistics in the circular economy

The circular economy describes the rethinking of our supply chain structures from linear to circular systems. Instead of “take, use and throw away”, it is about “repair, reuse, recycle”. The future belongs to the resource-conserving circular economy. It aims to avoid waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use and regenerate natural systems. Reverse logistics plays a central role here, as traditional supply chain structures are replaced by complex return, fault diagnosis, repair, reuse and recycling processes. Reverse logistics encompasses all of these circular economy process steps required to return goods from the end user back into the supply chain.
