Reverse chain of cooking oil: coordination, structure and relational aspects
Main Article Content
Abstract
Production and consumption activities generate residus that, according to their disposal, produce negative impacts on the environment. This situation worsened critically after the Industrial Revolution. In order to reuse these residues, new forms of producing, consuming and proper disposal for these products are needed after the end of their life cycle. Based on this context, the objective of this study is to analyze how a reverse supply chain of the collection of used cooking oil is structured and coordinated. The methodological path observes the qualitative approach and characterizes itself as exploratory. In theoretical terms, the study is guided by the reverse supply chain and the supply chain coordination approaches. Results show the initiative of a company that does not work with used cooking oil, but employs a strategy based on this residue for triggering the structuration process of the chain under analysis. As its main contribution, the study suggests the consolidation of the fifth stage of logistics: Reverse Supply Chain (RSC).
