Current waste disposal programs are focused on managing environmental compliance at product end-of-life. However, with this approach, retailers can miss potential opportunities to improve on sustainability goals, reduce hazardous waste and lower reverse logistics expenses.
Leading retailers are leveraging their supply chain data to reduce hazardous waste by working with their upstream supply chain partners to design out environmental risks earlier in the product life cycle.
