摘要:The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) defined Sustainable Development as “development that delivers environmental, social and economic services to an entire community, without affecting the viability of natural, constructed and social systems on which the provision of these services “(ICLEI, 2005). The recovery of products and materials used by reverse logistics has become an increasingly common practice on the part of producers. This paper investigates the impact of some sociodemographic variables such as: municipality, gender, age, time spent on their activity, number of apprentices, education and sales revenue of artisans, on the implementation of a reverse logistics program for the acquisition of inputs from artisans in developing countries. The analysis was performed using factor analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results reveal that the variables municipality, number of apprentices, education and sales revenue are factors that exert a significant effect on the management of inputs through a reverse logistics program in the artisanal sector.
