The document discusses sustainable logistics and take-back options for reducing waste from businesses. It summarizes a study of businesses in Winchester and Southampton that found opportunities to consolidate waste collection to reduce vehicle trips. Modeling showed joint domestic and commercial collection rounds could reduce mileage by up to 9.8% and handle additional waste from 288 more trade customers per week. Centralizing distribution for retailers or using dedicated logistics providers to back-haul returns and recyclables from out-of-town facilities were presented as potential solutions to further improve waste logistics and reduce transport impacts.
