Reverse logistics is a key step in capturing the value of end-of-life goods and facilitating the circular model.

Almost every industry is rapidly moving away from “Take-Make-Waste.” As the cornerstone of the Circular Economy reverse logistics helps by reducing pressure on the environment, improving the security of the supply of raw materials, increasing competitiveness, stimulating innovation, boosting economic growth, and creating jobs
