AN APPROACH TO PACKAGING WASTE REVERSE LOGISTICS: CASE OF SLOVENIA
Deriving from insights gained in a concrete empirical quantitative modelling research, the aim of the paper is to present the methodology and results of a Packaging Waste (PW) logistics exploratory study that was conducted in cooperation with a leading southeastern European retail chain company.
