The article gives a systematic view of the eco-logistic system as a result of changes in the worldview of humanity from technogenic to sustainable development. The feasibility of greening the logistic activities to reduce the eco-destructive impact on the environment has been substantiated. The essence of the eco-logistic system is determined and its definition is given. Eco-logistic system is a logistic system viewed as a set of link elements interconnected in the process of controlling the movement of direct and reverse logistic flows, taking into account the eco-destructive impact on the environment. The description of the eco-logistic system is presented, which is an anthropogenic, ecologicaleconomic, open, complex, multifunctional, well-organized, stochastic, centralized, multidimensional, purposeful, developing system. The characteristics of the eco-logistic system are determined, which is characterized by general characteristics of systems, specific characteristics of logistics systems, as well as individual ones: environmental friendliness and closed. The evolution of logistic systems and logistic chains is investigated in accordance with the stages of logistics development. The internal and external environment of the eco-logistic systems of micro-, meso- and macrolevels are analyzed. At the micro-level, the eco-logistic system should be considered as a subsystem of enterprise management, which includes functional logistic subsystems. At the meso- and macro-levels, the eco-logistic system consists of subsystems – participants in the logistic chain that take part in the promotion of direct and reverse material flows, as well as associated flows. The composition of direct and reverse (return and recycling-utilization) flows has been determined. The external environment of the eco-logistic system is analyzed, which is a subsystem of the system of a higher level of the hierarchy, namely, the ecological-economic system, which is part of the anthroposphere and biosphere
