Abstract
The objective of this research is to identify and analyze the interactions of the barriers that impede reverse logistics (RL) development from a Brazilian perspective. Firstly, international peer-reviewed publications were considered to select the barriers and classify them into categories. Secondly, an empirical research was conducted using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), in order to evaluate the relationship between the barrier categories for the Brazilian RL context.
