About the Problem Statement:
The logistics supply chain generates waste at every turn. The types of waste include transport packaging materials, lashing materials, cushioning materials, cooling materials, and desiccant agents produced in logistics operations. Society is demanding that we reduce and promote recycling of these wastes.
Currently, our supply chain does not have a holistic, efficient and optimal waste management system and solution. Yusen Logistics hopes to reduce internal costs and prioritise ESG goals by optimising our supply chain through waste reduction and sorting technology.
Objectives:
To address waste and recycling with a holistic approach (tailored to individual location’s needs), to reduce waste volumes at the end of a material’s life, to measure and reduce waste in logistics operation efficiently, and to be able to trace the end-of-life of packing and transport material.
Working Model:
Yusen Logistics is open to discussing the collaboration model with startups.
