Reverse Logistics: A Comparative Analysis of Three Processes Waste Reverse Vitreous

This study aims to make a comparative analysis between three reverse logistics processes glassy residue. Therefore, it was adopted as a method, descriptive research, data collection and research literature. The comparative analysis highlights the processes were used to identify the items: Convergence between the three processes; divergence between the three cases, and partial convergence between processes. Thus, for each item under examination was applied one of these three dimensions to compare the reverse process described in the studies. The analysis model was adapted from Miranda et al. (2003). The results show that the reverse logistics processes described provide economic and environmental advantages for businesses. Moreover, the implementation of the reverse processes demand high investments, as well as mapping and standardization of production processes, all of which supposedly could help the continuity of the enterprise when adopting this type of business practice.
