Abstract

This research deals with reverse logistics as an alternative to the pollution that occurs in plastic bottling companies in Panama. The objective is to demonstrate that reverse logistics can be an efficient alternative that contributes to reducing the pollution produced by companies in the country. The scope is that reverse logistics be implemented as an alternative to minimize the environmental impact with economic and financial benefits for companies. The research is quantitative and the questionnaire method with secondary data was used since the guide of the questionnaire of the Doctoral Thesis of Dr. Williams (2013) carried out by the Municipality of Panama between the years 2012-2013 was taken but expanding the sample to 400 respondents and extending the place to the year 2021. The main conclusions are that the respondents are aware of the high level of existing contamination, focused on PET plastic in Panama and that they accept changes in the production process that are friendly to the environment. Also, plastic packing companies contribute to reducing pollution in the capital if they apply a reverse logistics system.
