逆向物流是与顺向物流相对的物流过程以及管理,是一个再循环、再使用和减少原料使用量的过程。狭义地看,逆向物流可以被认为是渠道成员间原料的逆向配送。广义地说,逆向物流还包括顺向系统中原料的缩减,这种缩减以这样的方式进行,即较少的原料回流、可行的原料再使用和便利的再循环。综合上述观点,本文将逆向物流定义为:以回收价值或正确处置为目的, Reverse logistics is the logistics process and management of the forward logistics, which is a process of recycling, reusing and reducing the usage of raw materials. In a narrow sense, reverse logistics can be considered as the reverse distribution of raw materials between channel members. In a broader sense, reverse logistics also include the reduction of raw materials in a forward system, with such reductions being made in such a way that less material backflow, viable raw material reuse and convenient recycling are possible. To sum up the above point of view, this article defines reverse logistics as: the purpose of recycling value or correct disposal,
