A specialist but veritably interesting read about sustainable logistics and supply chain management, showing in a practically-focussed manner current best practice and thought. The book offers new insight for those who need it, whilst allowing those who think they already deploy it the chance to re-examine and polish their processes.
It manages to serve many audiences well, being an excellent introductory guide for students at the same time, thanks to its theoretical content, field expertise and detailed referencing. It can cover the entire process from sustainable product design and packaging through to warehousing, freight and even recycling.
It contains a mass of highly useful information that is relevant in today’s ever-changing market. It can be excused for being a bit of a dry read, yet it does well to cram so much thought-provoking and actionable information into such a slim volume. This is a revised second edition of an original 2013 publication, but much can change in a few years so it is a worthy replacement if you have the classic original and a great introduction if you have, so far, yet to discover its charms and power.
