Abstract :
The current project is aimed at analyzing the possibilities of the Reverse Logistics as a new market niche in industry through the creation of a standard industrial estate that clusters several activities related to the industrial waste appreciation and that can be benefited from the economies of scale, from the synergies obtained between the companies settled there and the collaboration of public authorities. The results obtained show that the initiative also represents a business opportunity for the promoters, when there is a serious crisis in the sector, especially in Spain.
