In the case where the same enterprise performs collection, transportation, and intermediate treatment of discarded tires, as well as distribution of fuel chips derived from discarded tires to paper and steel mills as thermal recycling, the enterprise must be engaged in the area of reverse logistics as well as of forward logistics, including storage and distribution of the recycled products. 

The purposes of this chapter are to raise the awareness of the recycling-based society through the constmction and creation of efficient strategy for reverse logistics. The optimal relocation for the collecting center of intermediate treatment facilities in Chiba is selected by using the density method by Okabe and Suzuki (2008).
