Abstract
Introduction. The production sectors in Valle del
Cauca contribute to their development by means of
competitiveness strategies that include environmental
matters related to the sustainable management
of solid waste. In this sense, reverse logistics is an
alternative that reduces costs and negative impacts
on the environment associated to the recovery of
materials. Objective. Identify the supply chains of
some Valle del Cauca´s cities with the potential for
the implementation or the strengthening of reverse
logistics programs. methodology. By means of an
exploratory study that included surveys, interviews,
a bibliographical revision and direct observation, the
information necessary to analyze the production
sectors´ situation was collected. This allowed the design
of value flow charts in some representative companies.
Results. Sectors such as those of plastics, sugar, wood,
pulp, paper, paperboard and graphic arts have productive,
environmental and competitive characteristics that allow
their classification among those with high potential.
Conclusions. The sectors identified have developed
strategies to manage waste, but have no formal reverse
logistics plans in their strategies to contribute to the
sustainable solid waste management.
