APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) — Question 69

A process in which printer and copier cartridges are manufactured, sold by retailers, consumed by customers, and returned to the manufacturer for reuse is an example of a(n):

Answer options

• A. eco-system.
• B. reverse logistics system.
• C. environmental initiative.
• D. closed loop supply chain.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a reverse logistics system specifically refers to the process of returning products for reuse or recycling. While a closed loop supply chain (D) is related, it encompasses a broader range of processes including manufacturing, not solely the return aspect. Options A and C do not accurately describe the return process for cartridges.
