摘要：There is growing social pressure for organizations to reduce their rates of consumption of nonrenewable natural resources and in parallel, to also reduce the release of post-production and postconsumption waste to landfills, water bodies and air, thereby causing damage to the environment. To respond to the pressure it is necessary that organizations' operations prioritize the "3R" goals: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. In this context, the so called reverse logistics flows have grown in importance in the study of supply chains. Examples are the components and materials that are collected after they are consumed or used. Instead of being sent to the landfill companies use reverse logistics to transport them back in supply chains to be reused or, recycled and reincorporated as secondary input material for new production. This article aims, through the review of related legislation in Brazil, relevant literature and a number of Brazilian and international case studies to develop a basic framework to be used in the development and implementation of reverse logistics systems (RLS).
