    <ns1:description language="en">Summary:
While segregating the direct and reverse logistics flows, due to the complexity of the
returns process management, there have emerged specific market players unique only for
these flows. Regarding the organizational aspect, these entities can be formed by the
participants of the direct flows, but can also be engaged as specialized external aid. The
analyses carried out in practice concerning this topic show that the biggest number of
entities involved in managing the reverse logistics processes are within the category of
specialized business subjects, which only perform this type of work and which are
independent from the actors of regular flows. The subject of this paper is to analyse in
depth the volume and importance of reverse logistics flows, focusing on the specifics and
types of entities specialized in managing these flows, such as centralized return centres,
3PL and 4PL providers for reverse flows, as well as various business entities of the
secondary market. The aim of the paper is to indicate the complexity of tasks performed
by specialized entities involved in the reverse logistics process, their scarcity in numbers
on a global scale and thus the huge unexploited business potential lying in this market
segment. That is a unique chance not only for regional, but also global business milieu.</ns1:description>
    <ns1:description language="sr">Sažetak:
Prilikom razdvajanja izravnih i povratnih logističkih tijekova uslijed složenosti
upravljanja povratnim procesom pojavili su se specifični tržišni sudionici koji su
svojstveni jedino za ove tijekove. Uzimajući u obzir organizacijski aspekt ovi entiteti
mogu biti formirani od strane sudionika izravnih tijekova, ali mogu biti angažirani i kao
specijalizirana eksterna ispomoć. Analize provedene u praksi vezane za ovu tematiku
pokazuju da je najveći broj sudionika angažiranih u okviru povratnih logističkih procesa
u kategoriji specijaliziranih poslovnih subjekata koji samo obavljaju ovu vrstu posla i
koju su neovisni od sudionika regularnih tijekova. Predmet razmatranja u radu je
dubinska analiza obujma i značaja povratnih logističkih tijekova fokusirajući se na
specifičnosti i tipove entiteta koji su specijalizirani za upravljanje ovim tijekovima, kao
što su centralizirani centri za povrat, 3PL i 4PL pružatelji usluga za povratne tijekove
kao i različiti poslovni subjekti sekundarnog tržišta. Cilj rada je ukazati na kompleksnost
zadataka koje provode specijalizirani subjekti angažirani u okviru povratnog logističkog
procesa, na njihovu rijetkost na globalnoj razini te stoga i na ogroman neiskorišten
poslovni potencijal koji leži u ovome tržišnom segmentu. To je jedinstvena šansa ne samo
za regionalno već i za globalno poslovno okruženje.</ns1:description>
