Reverse logistics is a good way to carry out the idea of circular economy.Firstly, the concept of "circular economy" and "reverse logistics" and the relation of them are introduced. Then, drive factors of reverse logistic are explained. Generally, any node of supply chain will probably become the supplier of reverse logistics system.
