“…Reverse logistics is a process of transferring used material from the customer to the company to be reused as raw material for producing or recycling products. A previous study by Bernon et al [21] in studying reverse logistics found that there were economic and ecological benefits to the company, and this finding confirmed by Cespón's [22]. Cespón's research was carried out by prioritizing quantitative methods which aimed to test the theory and this made the reverse logistic understanding difficult to explain.…”

The Business transformation from traditional (take, make, use, and dispose) to a circular economy model has become a global discussion. This is due to an increase in various parties such as government institutions, scholars and business sectors towards environmentally friendly business practices. Recently, research that has been discussing circular economy is dominated by benefits and challenges as the focus of the investigation, so how to design a business based on circular economy principles is difficult to understand. This study aims to analyze how the circular economy is applied to companies. By using case studies from two recycling companies, this research confirms several strategies adopted by the company in the circular economy transition process. This finding broadens our understanding of how to conduct business transformation based on the circular economy. The results of this study, however, are not a static framework, so further research is very possible.

“…The initial motivation of most electronic manufacturers in conducting RL is recapturing the value from broken or failed products and recovery their assets. Presently they use RL not only for gaining profit but also as a strategy to win the business competition ( Cespon et al., 2009 ). Although recapturing the value of e-waste and recovery assets of used or broken electronic products are also reached, in fact, the motivation of informal e-waste business is gaining profit for survival.…”

Many countries depend on businesses in reverse chains to tackle the environmental pollution caused by the tremendous amount of e-waste. Furthermore, due to the domination of informal businesses in many developing countries, environmental rules are not considered during operation, and these violations tend to affect public health adversely. The government in these developing countries finds it difficult to manage and utilize e-waste due to insufficient resources properly. The existing performance measures are only appropriate for implementation in developed countries with the inability to assess informal e-waste businesses in developing countries. Therefore, to address this gap, this research proposes sustainable reverse logistics scorecards (SRLS) to identify informal e-waste businesses' performance. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with eleven experts, questionnaire survey with one hundred eighty-six informal e-waste businesses in Indonesia using the snowball sampling method and by measurement identification using the statistical descriptive analysis such as mean, geometric mean, mode, and sign-test median including experts' confirmation. The results showed that there are twenty-two parameters from six perspectives namely financial, stakeholders' value, internal business processes, innovation and growth, environment, and social. These parameters can be used as a performance measurement following government regulation and adjusting the motivation, strategy, capability, and activities of informal e-waste businesses. They are also useful for practical assessment and decision purposes, such as process safety and economic impact evaluation of businesses with the ability to create job opportunities, satisfy employees, and provide persuasive incentives. The balance between environment, welfare, and e-waste management is realized through SRLS. We suggested that other researchers use these parameters to assess the performance of informal e-waste throughout Indonesia and the government considered these parameters to assess them before deciding to collaborate for handling e-waste problems.

“…On this basis, they suggested a whole process of "collection, recycling and reuse of products and materials". Cespón, Castro and Lundquist (2009) identified a generic configuration of reverse logistic strategies in manufacturing companies from the Cuban central area. As a result, their research detected the existence of three generic reverse logistic strategies which are: recapturing value, environmental and commercial strategies.in which other manufacturing companies in other countries can adopt.…”

Purpose. The paper explores reverse logistics activities such as product return, reuse of materials, and waste disposal impacts on the management of waste products in the Nigerian manufacturing companies. This is with a view to examining the awareness of reverse logistics to the management of waste products in Nigeria and determines the importance of reverse logistics activities and process to the management of waste products of Nigeria manufacturing firms. Methodology. Using a cross-sectional survey research design, 300 staff of selected manufacturing firms that deal with waste product were selected in Lagos and a well-structured and validated questionnaire was administered. From this, 250 copies were returned, while 246 were valid for the purpose of analysis. Data generated were analysed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance test of significance and Friedman rank test.
