Information Technology and Management Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

With the coming of low-carbon society, the reverse logistics of used batteries for lowering the carbon emission becomes an important research topic; in which, information integration of reverse logistics is the key for implementing reverse logistics systems. Currently there are not many enterprises that are capable of using enterprise systems or e-business systems to manage reverse logistics. In the framework of industrial information integration engineering, this research investigates the process of reverse logistics of used batteries, with an emphasis on the information integration of reverse logistics of used batteries.
