Inserting logistics into recycling and the disposal of waste materials of all kinds, including toxic and hazardous goods, has become a major new market. There are several variants. An important segment is customer-driven, where domestic waste is set aside by home-dwellers for recycling. This has achieved wide popularity in many communities, notably because the public became involved in the process. A second type is where non-recyclable waste, including hazardous materials, is transported for disposal to designated sites. As land fills close to urban areas become scarce, waste has to be transported greater distances to disposal centres. A different approach is where reverse distribution is a continuous embedded process in which the organisation (manufacturer or distributor) takes responsibility for the delivery of new products as well as their take-back. This would mean environmental considerations through the whole life-cycle of a product (production, distribution, consumption and disposal). For example, BMW is designing a vehicle whose parts will be entirely recyclable (Giuntini and Andel 1995).
