Abstract

Driven by the goals of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality”, the construction industry is in urgent need of realizing sustainable development through green transformation. With a series of policies such as the construction of a resource-saving and environmentally friendly society in China, it is of contemporary significance to research the recycling strategy of reverse logistic. However, construction enterprises are still facing challenges such as a lack of science in mode selection, information asymmetry and insufficient technical support in reverse logistics practice. Based on the literature review and case study, this study systematically explores the advantages, disadvantages and applicable conditions of self-operated, third-party and hybrid logistic modes, and verifies the theoretical framework by combining with the practice of Oriental Yuhong Company. The study finds that the self-operated logistics ensures legal compliance and low-carbon operation through strong control but requires high initial investment. The third-party logistics relies on the scale effect to enhance flexibility, but suffers from the risk of information lag. The hybrid logistics balances risk and efficiency, which is suitable for medium- to large-sized enterprises. The study proposes that construction enterprises should choose the appropriate model according to their capacity, characteristics and strategic objectives. The study also provides theoretical support and practical guidance for policy making, enterprise practice and green transformation of the industry.
