Optimización Eficiente y Sostenible: El Rol Vital de la Logística Inversa en la Reducción de la Huella Ambiental en México

Abstract

Pollution in Mexico, mainly generated by large companies, has reached critical levels due to a lack of regulation and the limited implementation of environmental policies. Despite government efforts, budget constraints and low national income make the effective application of these policies challenging. In this context, the implementation of reverse logistics emerges as a viable strategy to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing and product distribution. Reverse logistics, focused on recycling, reusing, and reducing materials, has proven successful in companies such as Coca Cola FEMSA and Bimbo in Mexico. These companies have adopted sustainable practices, transforming their processes. However, reverse logistics faces challenges in Mexico, such as high transportation costs, lack of infrastructure, and inadequate regulations. To overcome these obstacles, recommendations include setting clear goals, adopting advanced technologies, and collaborating with various stakeholders in the supply chain. Despite these challenges, it is expected that reverse logistics will continue to grow in importance in Mexico due to increasing environmental awareness and government regulation.
