چکیده
With the increasing innovation of new electronic devices continually entering the marketplace, manufacturers and retailers are seeking partnerships with third party logistics (3PL) providers that can decrease e-waste through reverse logistics for end-of-life devices. With the general public’s sentiment to preserve the environment for future generations, manufacturers and retailers as well as their supply chain partners have a commitment to reducing negative impact on the environment. This paper specifically focuses on how partnership with a 3PL (Third Party Logistics) provider can decrease e-waste through reverse logistics for consumer electronics manufacturers (OEM – original equipment manufacturer, ODM – original device manufacturer) and retailers.
