Responsible Logistics: A Pillar of the Circular and Sustainable Supply Chain

The rise of responsible logistics addresses increasing demands for supply chain sustainability and circularity. This movement is also driven by the reuse of second-hand products and the adoption of greener logistics solutions. Discover how responsible logistics, along with Generix’s WMS, enables companies to meet these new challenges while improving their economic and environmental performance. 

The Rise of Reused Products: A Growing Demand

The trend of second-hand products is booming, supported by strong demand and accelerated by digital offerings. The market is evolving towards diverse business models, with differentiated logistics strategies depending on the sector, ranging from industrial reconditioning to e-commerce.

Reconditioning Players and Their Logistic Impact

Reconditioning specialists, such as Back Market for electronic devices, are positioned on high-performance logistics models. Industrialized processes, from preparation to shipping, are central to these companies. They require integrated logistics solutions to manage volumes and ensure customer satisfaction. 

Brands and the Second Life of Products

More and more manufacturers are launching second-life offerings for their products. This model improves their sustainability performance while building customer loyalty around the brand image. Logistic solutions, such as Generix’s WMS, are essential to managing product flows in this cycle.

Distributors and Omnichannel: New and Used in One Basket

Distributors, such as Darty, integrate both new and reconditioned products into their offerings. This omnichannel model allows for diversified offerings and facilitates comparisons while staying within a single sales channel.
