What happens in disposal logistics?

Disposal logistics deals with reverse material flows. It includes:

  • disposing of waste products through recycling, reuse, or destruction
  • handling of returns such as damaged goods, misdeliveries, or items to be replaced (e.g., returnable containers or replacement units)
  • management of geographically dispersed waste generation points

 

Disposal logistics is a subdiscipline of materials management and is essential for sustainable supply chain management.
