Abstract

The objective of the research is to investigate international scientific production on the relationship between reverse logistics and electronic waste in the period between 2005 and 2022. The collection of primary studies was carried out based on Web of Science journals, being treated with strict and pre-established criteria to base on the protocol by Tranfield, Denyer and Smart (2003). The data analysis method refers to the Systematic Literature Review (RSL) technique, which was supported by the bibliometric packages VOSviewer and Bibliometrix. The analysis of the results explored the productivity of authors and journals, as well as the relationship network between the keywords in the textual corpus, identifying four clusters: (i) Management; (ii) Reverse Logistics; (iii) Project and (iv) Barriers. As a contribution, the research can increase awareness in terms of public policies on the part of public managers and civil society about the challenges and impacts of electronic waste.

Keywords: Reverse logistic. Electronic waste. Bibliometric Laws.
