An exploratory study on electronic commerce for reverse logistics

E-commerce for reverse logistics is an area of web applications that has been active and progressing aggressively, especially in the US, though it has not been explicitly recognised until now. It has given reverse logistics in general and especially remanufacturing of parts and re-use of surplus goods an important stimulus. However, existing E-commerce models are rather restricted and represent simply the migration of conventionally practices over the Web.
