22、logistics which is a part of green logistics.Rogers and Tibben-Lembke （1999） briefly consider the differences between reverse logistics and green logistics.In reverse logistics there should be some flow of products or goods back from the consumer to an earlier stage of the supply chain.The reduction

23、 of waste that this implies certainly means that reverse logistics should be included within green logistics.Currently, the term “green logistics” is often used interchangeably with “reverse logistics”, but in contrast to the reverse logistics, green logistics“summarizes logistics activities that ar

24、e primarily motivated by environmental considerations” （Scott, Lundgren Thompson, 2021）.First of all, the most significant difference is that reverse logistics concentrates on saving money and increasing value by reusing or reselling materials to recover lost profits and reduce operational costs.In

25、turn green logistics focuses on transportation issues, recycling and re-use.“Green logistics is about using material friendly options for transportation and centered on saving money but places priority on the pany&s image” （Nylund, 20_）.DeBrito （20_3） clarifies that green logistics focuses on the fo

26、rward flow of the supply chain while reverse logistics is viewed as sustainable development.“The prominent environmental issues in green logistics are consumption of non- renewable natural resources, and both hazardous and non- hazardous waste disposal” （DeBrito, 20_3）.Green logistics is often known

27、 as ecological logistics defined as “understanding and minimizing the ecological impacts of logistics” （Rogers and Tibben-Lembke, 1998）.These activities are designed to measure environmental impacts on transport reducing energy consumption, and reducing the use of materials （see Figure 2）.Figure 2.p

28、arison of green logistics and reverse logistics 4.The drivers of green logistics 4.1.Factors affecting green logistics from a wide perspective Schmied （2021） distinguishes four factors affecting green logistics – pany, customers, politics, and society.According to Figure 3, it can be concluded

29、 that each of the factors may affect green solutions （Schmied, 2021）.From the consumers point of view they have their own requirements for green products and services.Customers especially with high environmental awareness may require products delivered with clean vehicles or in such manner that the

30、emissions are minimized, forcing suppliers to go to green solutions.This should be a key drive for panies that are taking measures in green logistics.By understanding the consumers important role in green logistics it can be beneficial for the pany.Perhaps the biggest affect from customers may be ho
