Reverse logistics is an integral part of circular economy referring to a supply chain management that transports goods from customers back to the manufacturers or sellers. It includes recycling, refurbishment, reselling of restocked items, and reclamation of raw materials.

It helps to maintain an efficient flow of goods, create value, complete the product life cycle, reduce costs, and decrease risks. Reverse logistics also offers greater customer satisfaction, improved band image, enhanced sustainability, reduction of waste, and faster and better service.
