R everse logistics / Recycling. T here is potential to address CO2 emissions by increasing the take-up of recycling and reverse logistics activities. T hese divert volume from waste, addressing landfill and incineration carbon emissions. T.
hey also reduce the resource requirement, and therefore associated carbon emissions from raw material extraction and processing activities. F or nearly all types of waste, recycling operations are more carbon efficient than virgin material procurement and waste disposal operations. The benefits of GSCM to different roles of supply chain including environment and society in terms of different categories: material, immaterial, and emotion. F or material, GSCM helps lower environmental load for environment, lower cost prices for supplier, lower cost for producer, lower cost of ownership for customer, and less consumption of resources for society. I n terms of immaterial, GSCM helps overcoming prejudice and cynicism for environment, less rejects for supplier, easier to manufacture for producer, convenience and fun for customer, and better compliance for society.
F or emotion, GSCM helps motivation of stakeholder for environment, better image for supplier and producer, feel good and quality of life for customer, and make industry on the right track for society. H e also provided examples of company that were successfully adopted GSCM. There are ten reasons that the company should adopt the green: target marketing, sustainability of resources, lowered costs/increased efficiency, product differentiation and competitive advantage, competitive and supply chain pressures, adapting to regulation and reducing risk, brand reputation, return on investment, employee morale, and the ethical imperative. The following chart depicts the positive impact on the environment for each of the areas as we put into practice the techniques of green logistics. Green storage: The green storage refers to adoption the mechanized operation in the process of goods-storing to save the manpower cost, adoption the environmentally friendly products to sterilize the storage goods, adoption the method of centralized-stock to reduce the radicalization to the surroundings and reduce the adverse effect of the warehousing on the environment. Product and packaging rationalisation: The green package refers to a kind of commodity package that will not cause the environmental pollution.
T he packing materials should save the resources and reduce the packing waste moreover, it is supposed to be recycled and regenerated after using as well as occupies little land while burying in order to be decomposed easily. Technological innovation: The green innovation refers to adoption the innovation such as information and communication technology, biological technology, monitoring technology and a variety of specific technologies in the process of logistics management. T he application of the advanced innovation enables the enterprise to improve environmental management, effectively. Picture 2 — Green Suppliers ModelThe green supply chain model, which through specialized collection centers it acceptance damaged returns, stock returns or end of life and discarded products from the supply chain’s downstream members such as consumers retailers and distributors if needed it can centralize recycling products and do some value recovery activities. T he series of processing activities in value recovery activities either independently completed by the original manufacturer, or it can be completed by other companies.
A fter the recovery value of the used parts or renewable resources can enter a old product chain and may also expand into other product chain. I n this green supply chain management system model which collecting and recycling of waste that have been generated in manufacture and connecting the traditional supply chain forward logistics with the reverse logistics reasonably all the ting together form a cycle-based logistics system.
I n this condition, The resources in supply chain can beunified management and unified re-used, it ensured closely co-ordinate and efficient operation among members such as the upper, middle or lower of the supply chain and enhanced the competitive advantage of supply chain, as well as can be cooperate with other supply chain to minimize the waste materials. Construction green supply chainbased logistics system should be follow the three levels: First, the supply chain enterprise must take measures to reach to green standards; Second, forming a common inter-firm green Platform and its network of green supply chain; The third is to extend the production chain and do best of reverse logistics, as well as enhance the feedback mechanism.
