Abstract

Korea is changing its way to the sustainable development as the paradigm of global economy. It is natural that the amount of E-waste increases due to the short replacement cycle of electronic products. As a result, the needs for securing energy resources and preserving environment from E-waste is increasing the significance of the reverse logistics. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the acceleration of sustainable development by proposing some ways to vitalize the efficient reverse logistics and preparing the ground for a sustainable economic growth in Korea. This paper reviews the status of the reverse logistics in Korea, Japan and Netherlands and finds the problems and solutions in laws, information system and transportation system of E-waste for the efficient reverse logistics. Consequently, to vitalize the reverse logistics of E-waste, Korean government needs to strengthen the legislative system of reverse logistics, to support improved information system of reverse logistics, to integrate reverse logistics system, and to cultivate national consciousness for reverse logistics management. It needs to be in line with each other between government agencies as well.
