Sažetak
In its very beginnings sustainability was referred only as environmental issue. Supply chain strategies nowadays are green strategies, and the result of the need for a perfectly closed supply chains. Greening the supply chain is a tendency to minimize environmental impact of all activities in supply chain, and can be observed as a foundation for sustainable one. Reversing the supply chain includes activities based on tendency to capture value or to properly dispose goods that were returned to logistic distribution chain. Reverse logistics can provide improved customer satisfaction, raise level of environmental conscience and to keep profit inside company (by reducing costs). Reverse logistics activities are also implemented to keep up with new law regulations. When returning the products, company can implement a return centre, in a form of a new facility or a part of existing warehouse. Development of a return centre can result in optimized processes and can provide maximal possible value for each returned product.
