How-To: Shop Sustainably
As the US e-commerce industry grows, so does the volume of returned consumer goods, leading to overproduction and inventory liquidation. In 2021, Coresight Research calculated that, on average, 21% of all purchased e-commerce items are returned, contributing to a staggering 5.8 billion pounds of landfill waste annually. With the increasing awareness of environmental issues, there has been a significant push to adopt more sustainable shopping practices. One effective solution to this growing problem is reverse logistics.
