The use of Closed-Loop Supply Chains (CLSCs) worldwide has become increasingly popular, as sustainability is becoming a critical component of an organization's mission and strategy. While the company's responsibility for the product ends upon its delivery to the consumer in traditional supply chains, companies utilizing CLSCs are taking the additional responsibility for the product as waste. Therefore, companies must evaluate proper incentives to encourage the consumer to return the product to the company rather than conveniently disposing of it. This thesis, in full, provides background and current practices of Closed-Loop Supply Chains and analyzes the incentives needed for consumers to return used products to companies implementing a CLSC to be remanufactured, repaired, or recycled. This knowledge is contained through the analysis of literature reviews and existing CLSC practices across various industries to come up with a classification system of the criteria present in products that lend themselves capable of being returned. Based on the analysis of the existing CLSC applications and literature reviews, three standard criteria were current: consumer's need to replace the product, the feasibility of return process for the consumer, and monetary incentives in exchange for the consumers return. This thesis could provide a framework for companies looking to execute a reverse strategy within their CLSC and encourage consumers to return the product based on its criteria.
