Authors in individual chapters  address the issues related to reverse network configuration, forward and reverse supply chain integration, CO2 reduction in transportation, improvement of the  production operations and management of the recovery activities. Some best practices from different countries and industries are presented. This book will be valuable to both academics and practitioners wishing to deepen their knowledge in the field of logistics operations and management with regard to sustainability issues
