Reverse logistics
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

When a company is concerned that a component in their product could be harmful if disposed of in a landfill, they should utilize reverse logistics. Reverse logistics involves the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient flow of products, materials, and information from the point of consumption back to the point of origin for the purpose of recapturing value or proper disposal. This discipline includes recycling, refurbishing, and remanufacturing efforts to mitigate environmental impact and ensure safe disposal of potentially harmful components.
