The footwear sector causes environmental impact, mainly the amount of polluting waste generated and the little reuse of the material. Part of the waste generated in the production process, as the final destination of industrial landfills and co-processing. Therefore, it is not enough to reduce generation, it is alternative alternatives for not generating waste. Among the pillars of the circular economy, ecological design and Reverse Logistics are the most important to have a circularity of products and to re-approve the material. In this context, the study aims to analyze the reverse logistics in the footwear sector and the application of the concept of ecodesign in the development of footwear. As for the methodology, the study and the applied nature, the approach to the problem is qualitative. In relation to technical procedures, the work consists of conducting bibliographic research and multiple case studies. The results show that the footwear sector does not adopt a logistical reversal, nor does it apply the concept of ecodesign in the development of footwear. A perception of the sector that is not affected by the environmental impact, in addition, in order to make it difficult to reuse the product, there is no interest on the part of companies in making the return of the impact caused by the manufacturer feasible.
