About RSCA

The global professional association advancing the science, practice, and sustainability of reverse supply chain

Our Mission

To unite and empower global professionals advancing circular, efficient, and sustainable reverse systems — redefining how products, materials, and information flow after the sale.

Our Vision

A world where every return creates renewed value for business and the planet.

"Every return creates value. Every member drives change."

Why RSCA Exists

The reverse supply chain industry has been underserved — until now

Growing Market

The global reverse logistics market is projected to reach $1.6 trillion by 2030, yet lacks unified professional representation.

Global Fragmentation

Practitioners across OEMs, retail, 3PL, and technology operate in silos with no shared standards or benchmarks.

Regulatory Pressure

EPR laws and sustainability mandates demand coordinated industry response and advocacy that only a professional association can provide.

What We Do

Four pillars driving the reverse supply chain revolution

Education & Research

Producing industry-leading reports, webinars, and certification programs that elevate professional practice across the sector.

Events & Networking

Hosting the premier annual conference and regional seminars that connect thousands of practitioners across the globe.

Standards & Advocacy

Developing industry standards for grading, data exchange, and performance benchmarking while advocating for favorable policy.

Community & Collaboration

Building a vibrant community where OEMs, retailers, 3PLs, and solution providers collaborate to solve shared challenges.
