Abstract
An increasing number of firms in Asia, Europe, and north America engage in voluntary or mandatory end of life product management. Because developments in product take back are driven by a mixture of environmental concerns and economic opportunities, the most promising corporate end of life strategies create both economic and environmental value. Introduces a framework that can help managers identify and assess such supply loop strategies. Application of the framework to two specific supply loops demonstrates the usefulness of the framework: recycling and reuse of structural steel sections in the UK construction sector. Highlights the importance of supply chain constraints and also shows how lack of data can be a major obstacle to the evaluation of potential win-win supply loops.
