The processes of reverse logistics in creating added value for producers in metallurgy are presented here. Steel Industry is the primary industry which plays important role on the national development and economy sustainability. This industry’s supply chain and logistics system is considered complex and appears to be part of other industries’ supply chain and logistics systems, such as infrastructure or automotive industries. The premise is the choice of reverse logistics for steel supply chain on the one hand, considering their versatile applications. On the other hand, an extremely important issue is that their production is characterized by high dynamics, has a significant impact on the environment, contributing significantly to the use of the valuable resource. This paper will focus on the economic and environmental optimization of reverse logistics processes in steel supply chain. The presented article is part of a research on developing application methods for the settlement of environmental-economic support for reverse logistics processes aimed at reducing consumption of energy and raw materials by metal manufacturers, which ultimately translates into added value in terms of so-called environmental benefits.
