The Civil Construction industry is one of the largest generators of waste, which when improperly disposed of, lead to irreversible environmental implications. Effective management of these materials can recycle about 90% of the waste, minimizing environmental impacts. In this sense, the research aimed to provide an overview of the implementation of reverse logistics in Construction and Demolition Waste, highlighting the main gaps in the research scenario. For the selection of the analyzed articles, a string was defined and searched in the Web of Science journal database. The search resulted in 45 articles from 20 journals, which were analyzed using the VOSviewer software. The results revealed a significant concentration of studies in journals such as "Journal of Cleaner Production", "Waste Management & Research" and "Sustainability", and highlighted the most relevant keywords, such as "reverse logistics", "construction and demolition waste" and "waste management". However, emerging research trends were evidenced, such as the challenges of implementing reverse logistics in C&D waste and the importance of recycling for circular economy and environmental sustainability. The conclusions emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in C&D waste management, highlighting challenges from the construction process to waste recycling and recovery. Additionally, the need for models and systems to improve performance in reverse logistics implementation is emphasized. Finally, the importance of exploring advanced technologies and public-private partnerships to promote the effectiveness of reverse logistics in C&D waste is emphasized. Keywords: Reverse Logistics. Construction Industry. Construction and Demolition Waste. C&D Waste Management. La industria de la Construccion Civil es una de las mayores generadoras de residuos que, al ser descartados incorrectamente, ocasionan implicaciones ambientales irreversibles. La gestion eficaz de estos materiales puede reciclar cerca del 90% de los residuos, minimizando los impactos ambientales. En este sentido, el objetivo de la investigacion fue elaborar un panorama de la implementacion de la logistica inversa en Residuos de Construccion y Demolicion, destacando las principales lagunas en el escenario de investigaciones. Para la seleccion de los articulos analizados, se definio una cadena de busqueda que fue consultada en la base de revistas Web of Science. La busqueda resulto en 45 articulos de 20 revistas, que fueron
