Recycling
Among the support activities of any waste management actions, the optimal logistics processes are essential to assure time and cost-effective recycling scheme. Companies are recognizing that reverse logistics is a component of the total logistics management process that is growing in importance. Reverse logistics services are part of a trend toward incorporating environmental concerns into business philosophy and everyday business operation of manufacturing firms. An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of processes and practices that enable companies to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency. The EMS provides the direction to reverse logistics and environmental activities.
The author first discusses the general principles of reverse logistics in the manufacturing firms, which could clarify the importance of reverse logistics activities. The author then concentrates on the importance of EMS in helping companies to achieve their environmental goals. Finally, the EMS and reverse logistics activities in Port of Koper are presented.
