Abstract

The rapid growth of Thailand's agricultural industry causes the use of agrochemicals, which are dangerous goods (DG), to increase rapidly through imports from abroad. Those agrochemicals are beneficial for increasing yields and destroying, insects, and weeds but the packaging is not environmentally friendly. However, if farmers use careless and lack effective management, it will directly affect their quality of life. From the aforementioned issues, the dangerous goods logistics management throughout the reverse supply chain, especially transport and storage activities are therefore important. This paper proposes qualitative research on agrochemical reverse logistics management focusing on packaging as dangerous goods for a sustainable agriculture ecosystem in Thailand to improve farmer and community quality of life. The results of this study demonstrated the extractive factor through a systematic review by meta-analysis to obtain the compositions of factors in sustainable reverse logistics of DG management that can apply in practice appropriate to the Thailand context.
