Re-usables in Your Sustainability Strategy

Breanna Herbert, Sustainability lead and associate product manager at ORBIS Corporation, and Bob Peterson, VP of marketing at ORBIS Corporation, join Michael Levans, group editorial director of Peerless Media’s Supply Chain Group, to discuss the role re-usable containers are playing in your e-commerce sustainability strategy as we move into recovery.

In this first of two podcasts, Herbert and Peterson take a take a look at the current warehouse/DC operations environment as it responds to growing e-commerce pressures; defines some of the challenges facing fulfillment operations; shares some of the new sustainability strategies being deployed; and explores how re-usable containers are being integrated into fulfillment operations to improve efficiency and sustainable practices.

ORBIS is a diversified provider of reusable plastic containers, pallets, dunnage and bulk systems designed to improve the flow of product along the supply chain in an effort to reduce costs, enhance profitability and add sustainability.
