20.500.12556/DKUM-99475 An approach to packaging waste reverse logistics case of Slovenia Deriving from insights gained in a concrete empirical quantitative modelling research, the aim of the paper is to present the methodology and results of a Packaging Waste (PW) logistics exploratory study that was conducted in cooperation with a leading southeastern European retail chain company. PW Reverse Logistics (RL) is specific, but an integral part of retail operations and can also represent significant logistics and transportation costs concerns. In our research, we have, with a simulation model, been able to reduce the number of tonne-kilometres for 55% which represents significant cost reduction. The study scope focuses on the RL of industrial PW as the handling object of interest in retail, decoupled from the possible returns flow of non-food items and waste generated on premise by shoppers and employees, classified as non-industrial. It introduces an analytical framework, which has been tested and applied to a real case problem. logistics reverse logistics retailing packaging waste handling Slovenia logistika obratna logistika odpadna embalaža ravnanje Slovenija true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-08-18 10:24:54 2026-08-18 10:24:54 2026-08-19 03:07:33 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2018 0 0 str. 1104–1112 iss. 5 Vol. 33 2018 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2017-01-01 656:004.942(497.4) 512892477 10.3846/16484142.2017.1326404 1648-3480 RAZ_Lisec_Andrej_2018.pdf RAZ_Lisec_Andrej_2018.pdf 1 F71B8BE9E580D0FF046CE395C9E40ED0 242e3c352ab033eabe4722a66817b80145e66fa04496dee722120ce224179786 ae813f71-9ade-11f1-8356-00155d0001be https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=209729 https://doi.org/10.3846/16484142.2017.1326404 0 4a987695-9ade-11f1-8356-00155d0001be https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=209727 Fakulteta za logistiko 0 0 0
