The RLA Reverse Logistics Excellence Awards allows the Reverse Logistics Association (RLA) to honor those companies that are setting the standard for excellence in reverse logistics through their vision, innovation, focus, and efficiency. Each year the RLA accepts nominations from companies and their partners to identify leaders in reverse logistics. Companies and the individuals recognized must be current members of the RLA.

Congratulations to our 2025 Winners who were announced at the 2025 RLA Conf & Expo at the World of Hyatt RIO in Las Vegas on March 12.  All current and past winners are posted below.
