Model of reverse logistics by means of a logistics operator

Abstract

This study describes a reverse logistics model that can be used for the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) from small businesses, which includes its collection, dismantling, sorting, storage and destination by a logistics operator. The logistics operator will only collect WEEE after the minimum volume it stipulates has been accumulated, which has proved a barrier for small businesses. This could be solved by setting up an intermediate public or private management structure that would take over responsibility for the receipt, storage and transfer of the WEEE to the logistics operator in exchange for a fee. This business model brings social, environmental and economic benefits.
