Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to lay out a structure of Reverse Logistics serving as a point of reference in the remainder of our investigation. Section 3.1 discusses major dimensions of the Reverse Logistics context, namely drivers, actors, dispositioning options, and cycle times. Based on these aspects, Section 3.2 characterises different categories of Reverse Logistics flows. Section 3.3 concludes the chapter with a literature review complementing the field of our investigation.
