Strategy, Innovation & Measuring Impact

The Circular Economy & Reverse Logistics training course begins by examining the principles of the circular economy, contrasting circular and linear approaches and considering the drivers behind more regenerative use of resources. It then develops these foundations through circular strategies, business models and product or process design, including approaches that retain value, extend useful life and reduce waste. Attention also turns to the role of supply chains, stakeholder collaboration and procurement in supporting the transition from conventional operations to more circular systems.

The agenda then focuses on reverse logistics and closed-loop supply chains, covering the management of returns, collection, inspection, sorting and appropriate recovery or disposal routes. It considers options such as reuse, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling, together with the operational and financial factors affecting reverse flows and network decisions. The course concludes by addressing implementation, performance measurement and improvement, drawing together governance, organisational responsibilities and relevant indicators for managing circular initiatives and integrating reverse logistics into wider supply chain practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

The course covers circular economy principles and reverse logistics in the context of sustainable value chains. It focuses on resource recovery and intelligent returns management. The training connects these areas to show how value can be retained or recovered through reverse flows.

The course presents reverse logistics as a practical part of building circular value chains. It links the movement and management of returns with opportunities for resource recovery. This connection helps explain how reverse flows can contribute to sustainability and value retention.

The course treats resource recovery as a core part of the circular economy and reverse logistics. It explores how resources moving back through a value chain can contribute to continued value rather than being viewed only as waste. This perspective supports the development of more sustainable value chains.

Reverse logistics is important because it addresses resources and products moving back through the value chain. When connected with resource recovery and intelligent returns management, these reverse flows can support circular economy goals. The course focuses on this role in building sustainable value chains.

You will learn how circular economy thinking can be applied to reverse logistics and value-chain activities. The course explores resource recovery and the management of returned resources or products. It also examines how these practices support more sustainable value chains.

Intelligent returns management refers to the considered management of returns within a circular value chain. The course places it alongside resource recovery as a central element of reverse logistics. Its focus is on supporting sustainable value creation through better handling of reverse flows.

The training builds understanding of circular value chains, resource recovery and returns management. It develops the ability to view reverse logistics through a sustainability and value-creation lens. Participants can use this perspective to think more systematically about resources and returns.

This course is designed for Supply Chain Managers, Logistics Managers, Reverse Logistics Managers, Operations Managers, Procurement Managers and Warehouse and Distribution Managers. The course provides practical knowledge and skills for supporting this organisational transformation.
