Abstract

Reverse logistics and circular economy are like two sides of the same coin, where waste becomes wealth and every return is a new opportunity. This principle per-fectly embodies the circular economy, a model that prioritizes resource conser-vation through product lifecycles that minimize waste. This paper explores how reverse logistics, the management of product returns, aligns with circular econo-my principles. A TOWS analysis framework is used to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with integrating reverse logis-tics into the circular economy. This analysis provides actionable insights for or-ganizations to leverage these practices for a more sustainable future.
