Type: article

Abstract: Wastes and effective waste management are critical issues in all countries due to massive production and consumption volumes. One of the possible ways to create an effective waste management model is by applying the philosophy of reverse logistics and its processes to the waste management solution. The paper presents the result of a case study oriented to allocating centralized collection points of plastic wastes in the condition of Slovak Republic (SR). The presented results of the case study are a part of general research in the field of waste management according to the processes and activities of reverse logistics realized by the authors of the paper, which analyze and solve the entire problem of waste management in the condition of SR and creates a base for the further solution of the problematic issues of waste management.
