Regulations will continue to evolve in support of the circular economy. Circular economy, in short, is about setting targets on waste and recycling. This directly affects certain Logistics Services  such as reverse logistics,  packaging and fulfillment.

The EU’s Circular economy package went into force in 2018. U.S. and other countries are likely to follow. Expect to see significant carbon emissions regulations in the next few years.

International 3Pl has always provided reverse logistics services to its clients reducing the carbon foot print associated with excessive handling and transportation of returned products.

Our Order fulfillment services focus on forward distribution as well as reverse logistics which is key to a circular economy.

Recycling of boxes is at the core of our packaging services . We reuse most of the boxes that we receive for shipping out parcels without compromising the look or integrity of the shipment.

We are currently experimenting with single use boxes especially with our last mile services. We deliver then make sure to get the box back to be used in future shipments.

We are planning on applying the same practices at all of our locations.

Reverse logistics refers to all activity associated with a product or service after the point of sale, the ultimate goal to optimize or make more efficient aftermarket activity, thus saving money and environmental resources.

Types of activity common with reverse logistics includes: logistics, warehousing, repair, refurbishment, recycling, e-waste, after market call center support, reverse fulfillment and field service.

One aspect of reverse logistics is returns. Given the growth of online shopping, direct-to-store shipments, direct-to-home shipments, and the complexity of global sourcing, delivery mistakes are increasing exponentially.

Thus, reverse logistics is becoming more important. Mastering the returns or reverse logistics process will have a direct impact on your costs of doing business, on your company’s ROI, and on the level of customer service required to compete in today’s economy.

Like other supply chain management processes, reverse logistics can be made more efficient and profitable with better planning, management and execution. Reverse logistics can have a significant impact on a company’s bottom line, in good and bad ways.

Managing product that does not sell, is entering the end of its life, or has been returned due to buyer’s remorse is now generally understood to be a critical part of product life cycle management.

Yet this has not always been the case. Historically, most of the attention paid to product management has focused on the introductory phase or on the volume-shipping portion of the product life cycle. ” supply chain 247″
