Caracterización de un sistema de Logística Reversa para la gestión de RAEE con intermediación de 3PL: Estudio de caso en Red Verde Colombia

Abstract

El presente trabajo busca caracterizar un sistema de logística reversa, definiendo los actores involucrados dentro del sistema, así como las relaciones existentes entre los mismos, con el fin de identificar mecanismos de colaboración en forma detallada y analizar cómo los mismos permiten el logro de beneficios asociados con los objetivos ambientales y económicos de las organizaciones involucradas. En este sentido, se tomó una visión holística de la gestión de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos en Colombia, a partir de un estudio de caso único para el modelo aplicado actualmente en el país, con énfasis en el análisis de la intermediación de los prestadores de servicios logísticos - 3PL.

Abstract: The negative environmental impacts derived from productive activities have become increasingly evident, which has generated greater attention from different audiences, resulting in social efforts and initiatives and from private entities seeking to mitigate them. As part of these efforts, the integration of reverse flows to supply chains was originated, in order to reduce environmental impacts by providing adequate management of products at the end of the life cycle. Therefore, and given the need to advance in the understanding of the operation of these systems of recently developed, this work seeks to characterize a reverse logistics system, defining actors involved within the system, as well as the relationships between them, in order to identify collaboration mechanisms in detail and analyze how they allow the achievement of benefits associated with the environmental and economic goals of the organizations involved. In this sense, a holistic view of the electrical and electronic equipment management in Colombia was taken, from a case study for the current model applied in the country, with emphasis on the analysis of the intermediation of logistic service providers - 3PL.
