Structuring the Issues of Cooperative Transport in Reverse Logistics for Efficient Material Recycling

废物回收过程中所需的运输成本非常高，成为推动回收利用的严重瓶颈。从垃圾逆向物流的特点来看，协同运输有望成为提高运输效率的有效途径。然而，合作运输在实践中却鲜有落实。本研究旨在考察逆向物流的实际情况，并在案例研究的基础上提炼出实施协同运输的问题和成功因素。运用问题构造法进行利益相关者分析发现，成功案例的共同外部因素是企业规模大，而参与合作运输的利益相关者较少。通过对利益相关者利益的分析，指出利益相关者合作运输激励内部化的重要性。

The costs required for transportation in the process of waste recycling are very high and become a serious bottleneck for promoting recycling. From the characteristics of reverse logistics for waste transportation, cooperative transport is expected to be an effective way for improving transport efficiency. However, cooperative transport is barely implemented in practices. This research aims to examine the actual situation of reverse logistics, and extracts the issues and successful factors of implementing cooperative transport based on case study of real practices. The stakeholder analysis using problem structuring method finds out that the common external factors of successful cases are large scale of the business while small number of stakeholders involved in cooperative transport. The analysis on the interest of stakeholders indicates the importance of internalizing the incentive of cooperative transport among stakeholders.
