Transportation of used or returned goods is probably the most salient issue in Reverse Logistics. Products need to be physically moved from the former user to a point of future exploitation or from the buyer back to the sender. In many cases transportation costs largely influence economic viability of product recovery. At the same time, it is the requirement of additional transportation that is often conflicting with the environmental benefits of product take-back and recovery. Therefore, careful design and control of adequate transportation systems is crucial in Reverse Logistics.
