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.
All current and past winners are posted below. Congratulations to all!
We are now accepting nominations for the RLA 2025 Excellence Awards through January 31, 2025. Winners will be announced at the RLA Conf & Expo in Las Vegas in 2025. You must be logged in to make a nomination.
