In today's world one of the world's major problems is waste that appears as a byproduct of various production processes and as leftovers after using the product. The construction industry has a large share in the accumulation of waste at landfills and large energy consumptions in waste disposal processes. It has become unacceptable that used or destroyed products are being burned or landed, and the reverse logistics cares about returning the consumer goods back to the supply chain of the production process. The paper describes the basic concepts and processes of reverse logistics and its application in the construction industry. The construction industry has a great potential for developing and applying the reverse logistics process due to the large amount of material and energy consumption when constructing the facility. The specificity of the construction industry is manifested in a number of participants participating in the construction, as well as several stages of construction of a project. All participants and their procedures and obligations are legally regulated, and it is necessary to define how additional reverse logistics can be implemented in the construction engineering system and in which part of the concept of reverse logistics can make progress developing and researching in the field of construction industry.
