Abstract
Problems such as resource shortage and environment deterioration are serious problem now. Therefore, developing sustainable economy becomes an inescapable choice in global economy. As an important activity, developing sustainable economy, the economic and social value of reverse logistics, has emerged now. This paper focus on the recycle of spare parts obtained from the end of life (here after EOL) automobile, which can replace disabled parts of an automobile. We argue that developing the reverse logistics of automobile spare parts (here after the “replenishment parts”) is an important measure to sustainable economy, either local or national or global economy. Recent year, Chinese government is promoting reverse logistic activities, however, not yet introduced regulations and established a management system for the reverse logistics system of automobile spare parts. Considering China's automobile replacement parts industry mode, the authors attempts to propose a management system for the replenishment parts recycle so that the production, delivery, utilization, recycle and repair become a concrete closed loop supply chain. This system not only conforms to the Extended Producer Responsibility (ERP) policy push forward by the government to the automobile manufacturers, but also can integrate active involvement of major players of Chinese automobile industry.
