Current Situation
One-way packaging from suppliers leads to escalating costs of new packaging and growing issues of waste management and reduction.
Goals and Objectives
Developing a circular economy through reverse logistics reduces both costs of packaging and waste, reenforcing the need to reuse and recycle.
Technology Deployed
Enterprise hardware, personal devices, cloud, big data and analytics, mobile, connectivity services, and container/packaging management systems
Use Case Summary
There is improved visibility between suppliers and customers on items such as reusable totes, pallets, and containers. Suppliers and customers collaborate through a system to manage incoming shipments and the proper return of these items for continued reuse.
