3 NEW REPORTS on reverse logistics surveys
|
|
Some surprises are arising when looking at the results of business surveys on return logistics and waste management.
Shortly said, return load and waste from retail activities are taken back on far too long trips.
Three new Green Logistics reports were published from the University of Southampton, exploring the dimensions of the question and proposing potential solutions:
- Cherrett, T. J., McLeod, F. N., Maynard, S., Hickford, A. J., Allen, J. (2009) Understanding retail supply chains to enable greener logistics - a case study of delivery and take-back mechanisms in Winchester. Green Logistics WM10 Report.
- Maynard, S., Cherrett, T. J. (2009) Characteristics of retail waste logistics on Winchester High Street. Green Logistics WM10 Report.
- Maynard S., Cherrett T. J., Waterson B. J., (2009) Monitoring Household Waste Recycling Centres Performance using Mean Bin Weight Analyses."
International Journal of Integrated Waste Management, Science and Technology, Volume 29, Issue 2, 614-620
