Logistics Management and Waste Management : An Interdisciplinary Approach

The paper is focused on the complexity of household recycling waste management (HRWM). In particular, municipal solid waste (MSW) is presently and has been an environmental issue and previous studies reluctantly to converge the essential aspect of reverse logistics (situational factors) as well as behavioural issues (personal factors) in one holistic framework. The study used an interdisciplinary approach and has found that a "symbiosis effect" perspective appears to be a robust framework to bring together active household recycling waste systems and sustainable development considerations to enhance both sustainability and the economy. Further, the study provides empirical evidence examining both situational and personal factors of households and their interactions, which were previously not well-understood
