At the beginning of June, a new publication by Prof. Jacek Szołtysek, PhD, Eng., published by the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing, hit the bookstores. The book “Reverse Logistics” aims to present a logistician’s perspective on waste management issues, in line with the principles of sustainable development.
The author introduces the reader to, among other things, the legal, economic, and ecological conditions of the modern world’s economies, in order to place logistics with its ecological orientation within such a defined environment. He also devotes considerable space to the tasks of reverse logistics in waste management systems and its role in supply chains. The reader will find here many models that can serve as inspiration for finding detailed solutions or for further work on shaping disposal chains or supply chains supporting warranty and post-warranty service.
The book is intended for students of logistics and management practitioners, to provide them with food for thought and a search for new solutions useful both at the stage of planning and design, as well as in the implementation of new and improvement of existing pro-ecological solutions.
