ResumoO presente artigo avalia a possibilidade de se utilizar instrumentos do compliance para efetivação da logística reversa (LR). Para isso, apresenta-se, primeiramente, os desafios enfrentados na efetivação da LR, como instrumento de gestão ambiental. Posteriormente, objetivando verificar a viabilidade, ou não, de utilização das ferramentas de compliance para sanar o problema da inefetividade da LR, serão analisados a origem e o conceito do compliance e, em seguida, os instrumentos dispostos por ele. Além disso, é feito uma análise quanto a multidimensionalidade do conceito de sustentabilidade e a necessidade de se alcançar a dimensão ambiental. Ao final, concluiu-se pela viabilidade da utilização de três das técnicas disponibilizadas para alcançar tal efetividade. Como método, utilizou-se o teórico documental do tipo hipotético-dedutivo, analisando conteúdo doutrinário e legal. Além disso, o trabalho conta com dois marcos teóricos: Varela (2005), demonstrando o conceito de gestão ambiental, e Blok (2018), trazendo o conceito e as formas de aplicação do compliance.Palavras-chave: Compliance.

For this, it presents, allows, the challenges faced in the realization of Reverse Logistics, as an instrument of environmental management. Subsequently, with the aim of verifying the feasibility, or not, using compliance tools for problems or ineffectiveness of Reverse Logistic, the origin and the concept of conformity will be analyzed, followed by instruments provide by it. In addition, an analysis is made to the multidimensionality of the concept of sustainability and the need to reach the environmental dimension. In the end, it was concluded that it was feasible to use three of the available techniques to achieve such effectiveness. As a method, we used the deductive documental theory, analyzing doctrinal and legal content. In addition, the paper has two theoretical frameworks: Vaerela (2005), demonstrating the concept of environmental management, and Blok (2018), bringing the concept and ways of applying compliance.Keywords: Compliance.

Illustrative Case Study

Customers’ pressure, social responsibility, and government regulations have motivated the enterprises to consider the reverse logistics (RL) in their operations. Recently, companies frequently outsource their RL practices to third-party reverse logistics providers (3PRLPs) to concentrate on their primary concern and diminish costs. However, to select the suitable 3PRLP candidate requires a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) process involving uncertainty owing to the presence of many associated aspects. In order to choose the most appropriate sustainable 3PRLP (S3PRLP), we introduce a hybrid approach based on the classical Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) method and propose a discrimination measure within the context of hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs). This approach offers a new process based on the discrimination measure for evaluating the criteria weights. The efficiency and practicability of the present approach are numerically demonstrated by solving an illustrative case study of S3PRLPs selection under a hesitant fuzzy environment. Moreover, sensitivity and comparative studies are presented to highlight the robustness and strength of the introduced methodology. The result of this work concludes that the introduced methodology can recommend a more feasible performance when facing with determinate and inconsistent knowledge and qualitative data.

Management of tire waste is an important aspect of sustainable development due to its environmental, economical and social impacts. Key aspects of Reverse Logistics (RL) and Green Logistics (GL), such as recycling, re-manufacturing and reusable packaging, can improve the management of tire waste and support sustainability. Although these processes have been performed with a high degree of efficiency in other countries such as Japan, Spain and Germany, the application in Mexico and Russia has faced setbacks due to the absence of guidelines regarding legislation, RL processes, and social responsibility. Within this context, the present work aims to develop an integrated RL model to improve on these processes by considering the RL models from Russia and Mexico. For this, a review focused on RL in Mexico, Russia, Japan and the European Union (EU) was performed. Hence, the integrated model considers regulations and policies performed in each country to assign responsibilities regarding RL processes for the management of tire waste. As discussed, the implementation of efficient RL processes for the management of tire waste depends of different social entities such as the user (customer), private and public companies, and manufacturing and state-of-the-art approaches to transform waste into different products (diversification) to consider the RL scheme as a total economic system.

Return Process

Consumers mostly prefer internet for reasons such as accessing product immediately, convenience, time saving. However buying products without observing physically causes some troubles. This situation results in return of the purchased product. The return process that is going to be experienced by the customer who wants to return or change his/her product is important for the companies. Managing return process without troubles is going to affect loyalty, satisfaction, revisiting, repurchasing, consumers messages, which are going to be get across to his/her environment. Because of these reasons, it is imperative for the companies to pay attention to the reverse logistic activities that they will undertake for the end consumers. The aim of this chapter is to indicate the importance of reverse logistics in e-retailing.

In this report I tried to develop a model to control remanufacturing transportation cost for a reverse supply chain considering various serviceable and remanufacturable inventory stock points. While consumers traditionally dump the products at the end of their life cycle, there is an option to return them to the manufacturers for renew and reuse. As a result, manufacturers must collect products at the end of their life and control their recovery or disposal situation. Product recovery, which includes reusing, remanufacturing and recycling, requires a reverse logistic network in order to increase efficiently. This report presents the results of a simulation model for a reverse logistics network for collecting the returned cartridge toners from customers. Real data from an Australian case company was utilized to design test experiments in order to validate and evaluate the model.

The concept of ‘Environmental Management' includes the responsibility to ensure that the company complies with environmental laws and regulations. Because this responsibility is not only exercised towards authorities, but also towards the stakeholders, and because growing environmental awareness is combined with the growing development of ICT, some companies publish their information concerning ‘environmental compliance management' on their corporate websites. The present exploratory website study was performed to fill the research gap in the field of environmental website disclosure through a survey of 170 large production companies in the USA and in Europe. The analysis of the empirical data suggests that corporate websites contain only limited information about ICT use for environmental management and environmental compliance management. Because very large and mostly global corporations were observed, only small differences between the two regions were expected. However, the study revealed that the USA companies outperformed the European companies in terms of extent of disclosure.

Plastic Industry

The shortage of natural sources and the threat of the bad trend have forced the industries to find environmentally-friendly alternatives and ecological approaches in their production line. In some countries, regulations have been issued for industries about this subject. Due to these reasons and more of them, logistic firms have been forced to take into consideration decreasing material and energy consumption and minimizing waste production in planning their network designs. In practice, it might be necessary to simultaneously optimize more than one conflicting objective to obtain effective and realistic solutions. In this chapter, current logistics network design of a plastic industry in Turkey has been investigated and reverse logistics network design has been developed to minimize waste production and to achieve green production. This chapter presents a mathematical model which is a fuzzy goal programming model for imprecise goals for reverse logistic network design with multiple objectives in plastic sector. The considered objectives are to reduce cost in reverse logistics, to improve product quality, and to provide environmental benefits by minimizing waste production.
