DIRECTRICES DE DISEÑO PARA LA LOGÍSTICA INVERSA: UNA REVISIÓN DE LA LITERATURA

Environmental challenges related to solid waste generation and disordered consumption are becoming increasingly prominent. The Circular Economy (CE) has emerged as a strategy for generating value through effective waste management, and Reverse Logistics (RL) plays an important role in the transition to CE. Sustainable Design (SD) and Design for Reverse Logistics (DfRL) have emerged as approaches to integrating RL into product design. This research aimed to explore the context of Design Guidelines (DG) for RL under the concept of DfRL. To this end, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach was used. The research covered aspects of DG, such as related Design for Excellence (DfX), product design context, relationship with RL, sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, the research identified research gaps, such as the definition of the term and hierarchy around DG and the need for integration between research and technique to share design information. Potential areas were identified for DfRL and for integrating RL into the product process, promoting the transition to a more sustainable and circular production model, in line with the SDGs and the needs of future generations.
