Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic The Logistics of Product Recovery (EndofLife). It is now being realized that producer responsibility needs to be increased in areas of Northern America and to increasingly shift the burden of environmental protection for the government to the producers. This also enables the government to shift the responsibility of economic responsibility from the government to the local taxpayers. The scope for such laws is also being expanded to other non-recyclable wastes such as fluorescent bulbs, paint, mattresses, appliances, mercury thermostats and medical sharps.

The use of EPR shall essentially require the formation of a separate and somewhat parallel system of waste management or collection mechanism that is the key to increase the quantity of waste collected. The maximization achieved within the collection system is also responsible for increased industrial as well as consumer participation in management of waste products. The laws help in mandating such convenience in collection methods which is difficult to define (Michelini & Razzoli, 2010).

This paper is aimed at analyzing the scope of reverse logistic management and developing of a proper model that would be helpful in EPR management deriving most benefits from reuse and recycle of end-of-life products. The paper suggests the establishment of the OEM takeback methodology for the benefit of companies and the environment because it is the most efficient management technique for wastes. However, it also suggests the use of pooled takeback within the collection mechanism to facilitate convenience and also eliminate the drawbacks of the OEM method by way of using the benefits of pooled takeback in the collection procedure.
