Reverse logistics deals with two types of flow of goods, disposable and returned goods. Althought the impact
of returned goods on the profit is pointed to be relevant, specially when sales are less predictable, not many
studies have been conducted on the subject. This paper discusses the subject in order to reveal how firms
doing business in Brazil are dealing with the problem of returned goods. Findings indicated that a small part
of the firms are already organized to cope with this reversed flow.

First, by June 1, 2026, all producers (subject to very limited exceptions) must either (1) participate in an approved Producer Responsibility Organization ( PRO ), or (2) decide to comply individually and register with CalRecycle. Depending on which path a producer decides to follow, it will also be subject to subsequent deadlines. Producers who plan to participate in an approved PRO must have a producer responsibility plan in place by June 15, 2026.
