Products, components, materials and other equipment stream forward and back wards and back in their supply chains. Reverse Logistics deals with the processes associated with the reverse stream from users/owners to re-users. This paper provides a review and content analysis of scientific literature on reverse logistics case studies. Over sixty case studies are included. In addition, we give an overview of particular issues, which we link with propositions, unanswered questions and thus directions for future research.
