- Abstract
- This study aimed at exploring the system of reverse logistics for clothing, which refers to the whole process of moving clothes from their final destination for the purpose of capturing value or for proper disposal. In-depth interviews were conducted with stakeholders of reverse logistics system for clothing. Out of 51 individuals contacted, 12 participated in the research, resulting in 23.5% response rate. All the stages in Korean reverse logistic system for clothing were identified, but the flow of the resources in the system was not smooth and the collectors were often illegal or unauthorized companies. Domestic markets for reused or refurbished clothing were limited, and most of the products on this stage were exported. In general, collectors and exporters of reused clothes emphasized economic value over environmental value in their business when compared to manufacturer. Most participants acknowledged the importance of information exchange, but little social interaction was found among stakeholders. © 2019, The Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles.
