1. Background
Counter-Productive Effects of Circular Economy
Increase in traffic and congestion due to take-back logistics (TBL)
Increase in environmental burden / resource consumption due to reverse logistics
Increased future resonsibilities for manufacturers due to take-back
Recycling could cause up to fourteen times higher transportation distances than regular disposal or incineration!! (Jünemann, 1995)

Stages and Actors of EOL Management Channels
Sources
Collection Processing
Revalorisation (resale or re-use)
- Manufacturers, distributors and retailers- Commercial end-users - Private end-users
- Municipalities- Producers- Private collection companies- Retailers or distributors - Repair shops
- „Front-end“ processors (integrated resale and recycling service, e.g. repair, refurbish, manual disassembly)- Subsequent specialist recyclers
- Material producer- Product and component resellers- Waste processors
Channel roles: Logistics providers, channel controllers, design engineers

Current and Future Need (Main Findings)
Need for fundamental and strategic research in the area of EOL Management
Tools are needed to - increase the transparency - optimise costs and revenues- achieve an environmentally and legally sound overall performance level- stimulate and ease communication
Structured approach in monitoring EOL products in the channel
Provision of a clear picture of return options towards end-users
Decision support through information about the end market value of EOL products
