	abstract = {<p>In recent years much attention has been given to global supply chains. However, the emphasis has been on forward chains, with reverse flows been insufficiently studied. In this work, we study closed loop supply chains and analyse the impact caused by the introduction of new facility sites into an already existing supply chain. The model considers both strategic and tactical decisions allowing for the design of a global supply chain with reverse flows. The impact of the network redesign is analysed and the associated costs calculated. The obtained MILP is solved using a standard Branch and Bound solver. The results obtained prove that the proposed model handles satisfactorily the network redesign problem. </p>
