Abstract
This chapter analyzes the current issues and proposes an effective reverse logistics system for discarded tires, which considers collection, transportation, and intermediate treatment enterprises, elements that are not involved in forward logistics. The possibility of constructing a reverse logistics network over a wide area is examined from a viewpoint based on previous studies and practices concerning the construction of a forward logistics network. The result revealed that these improvement measures for the reverse logistics can be effectively functioned.
