Development of Reverse Logistics Scenarios for Inorganic Waste Recovery in Grobogan Regency - Indonesia. Issue 1 (December 2020) - Hadiwidodo, M
Abstract: Reverse logistics is a model of the flow of goods that goes inversely from consumers back to producers to increase the value of goods without wasting any part of the goods (recovery). In this study, the waste management system in Purwodadi District, Grobogan Regency, has been evaluated and propagated using a reverse logistic network system, which is considered more efficient. In-depth interviews and observations were made to understand the flow of waste in each level of recyclers. The flow of plastic, paper, and metal waste were evaluated in this study because it dominates the composition of inorganic waste in Grobogan Regency. The results of the scenario indicate the potential use of a reverse logistic system because it shortens the flow time of waste from consumers to factories. Besides, environmental losses caused by the long process of waste management can be reduced. It is necessary to carry out further evaluation related to economic and environmental benefits due to the development of a reverse logistic scenario for plastic, paper, and metal waste.
