Abstract
Management of tire waste is an important aspect of sustainable development due to its environmental, economical and social impacts. Key aspects of Reverse Logistics (RL) and Green Logistics (GL), such as recycling, re-manufacturing and reusable packaging, can improve the management of tire waste and support sustainability. Although these processes have been performed with a high degree of efficiency in other countries such as Japan, Spain and Germany, the application in Mexico and Russia has faced setbacks due to the absence of guidelines regarding legislation, RL processes, and social responsibility. Within this context, the present work aims to develop an integrated RL model to improve on these processes by considering the RL models from Russia and Mexico. For this, a review focused on RL in Mexico, Russia, Japan and the European Union (EU) was performed. Hence, the integrated model considers regulations and policies performed in each country to assign responsibilities regarding RL processes for the management of tire waste. As discussed, the implementation of efficient RL processes for the management of tire waste depends of different social entities such as the user (customer), private and public companies, and manufacturing and state-of-the-art approaches to transform waste into different products (diversification) to consider the RL scheme as a total economic system.

Logistics is defined as the element of the supply chain process that plans, implements and controls the efficient and effective flow and storage of goods, services and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption to meet the needs of the client [1,2]
Concerns about environmental care have become an important factor, for the business sector, and for society, government and social organizations. This has paved the way for the concept of Green Logistics and Reverse Logistics:
The current status in Mexico and Russia was reviewed considering the factors highlighted by the United Nations for the establishment of waste management systems
Summary
Logistics is defined as the element of the supply chain process that plans, implements and controls the efficient and effective flow and storage of goods, services and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption to meet the needs of the client [1,2]. Logistics has grown in complexity by opening its doors to a greater number of factors such as society, economics, social responsibility, sustainability and the environment. In this regard, concerns about environmental care have become an important factor, for the business sector, and for society, government and social organizations. Concerns about environmental care have become an important factor, for the business sector, and for society, government and social organizations This has paved the way for the concept of Green Logistics and Reverse Logistics:. It is based on the global environment maintenance and sustainable development [7,8,9,10]
