Reverse logistics and green product design are green supply chain management practices that are being
implemented to demonstrate firm’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The generation of
waste from electrical and electronic equipments prompts the viability of product recovery to salvage
invested material and energy. Selection of various reverse logistics product disposition options relies on
products’ residual value and the accessibility of reusable content for re-entry in forward supply chain.
This study explores the effect of green product design and resource commitment on reverse logistics
product disposition by employing empirical analysis on 89 returned mail survey received from ISO14001
certified electrical and electronic manufacturing firms in Malaysia. The results indicated that design for
disassembly is necessary to harvest valuable inventories from every product disposition options except
of disposal whereas design for environment and commitment of resources have slight influence on repair
and disposal activities. As the evidences show that green product design and reverse logistics product
disposition are interrelated, firms ought to undertake environmentally proactive approaches to generate
benefits from resources that are undeservingly discarded as landfill waste.
