The recovery, recycle and remanufacturing of a product at the end of its life is recently receiving much attention, due to the growing interest in the reverse supply chain. Greater attention to the environment, the development of waste regulations and competition in industry as regards product recovery lead to the creation of reverse logistics networks. This paper deals with the evaluation of the environmental and social impact of the reverse supply chain, through the use of Life Cycle Analysis methodology, the results of which can be used for policy and strategy decision-making. This paper investigates the reverse supply chain of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and in particular it concerns the life cycle assessment of an household refrigeration, in order to analyze the environmental and economical impact of its closed supply chain.

Abstract
The recovery, recycle and remanufacturing of a product at the end of its life is recently receiving much attention, due to the growing interest in the reverse supply chain. Greater attention to the environment, the development of waste regulations and competition in industry as regards product recovery lead to the creation of reverse logistics networks. This paper deals with the evaluation of the environmental and social impact of the reverse supply chain, through the use of Life Cycle Analysis methodology, the results of which can be used for policy and strategy decision-making. This paper investigates the reverse supply chain of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and in particular it concerns the life cycle assessment of an household refrigeration, in order to analyze the environmental and economical impact of its closed supply chain.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
