Current Reverse Logistic for End of Life Computer in Malaysia

Abstract:

High technology and affordable computers are highly demanded currently. Computers are much faster and with very high performance. This however resulted in short life cycle and there is a need for a system to manage used computer that is collected. The volume of end of life computer that will be generated in a developing country has been forecasted to be between 400-700 million units by the year 2016-2018. This paper reviews current the reverse logistic for end of life computer in Malaysia and how it will evolve in the near future.
