In the last few decades, due to serious waste material accumulation and rapid depletion of scarce resources, interest in sustainable production practices has increased. As a consequence regaining and re-integrating end-of-lifecycle products to the industry into the different stages of the production process have become more important. By virtue of these developments, product recovery systems emerged as a new field of research in addition to the traditional manufacturing systems. This study aims to review this new research field, classify the studies in the current literature and present the possible research questions for future studies
