Abstract: This review comprehensively evaluates research on the lifecycle cost analysis (LCCA) of reusable packaging systems in the retail sectors of fruits and vegetables, automotive parts, etc. It categorizes researchers by product types and thoroughly analyzed the various models used by these studies to conduct LCCA of reusable packaging. This article provided extensive analyses of cost categorization frameworks, covering raw materials, transportation, maintenance, and end-of-life expenses, thereby providing profound insights into the economic and sustainability benefits of packaging logistics. Key findings indicate that, with effective logistics management, reusable packaging typically achieves significant long-term cost savings. The review also points out that future research should focus on the economic benefits of different types of reusable packaging, examining the impacts of reverse logistics management and packaging design on costs, and the development of more precise LCCA models. Such research will provide effective decision-making support for businesses promoting the transition of supply chains towards sustainable development.
