Reverse Logistics Mastery: Turning Returns into Value
Synopsis
In an era of tighter resources and persistent supply disruptions, what happens after the sale matters more than ever. This 90‑minute session explores how mastering reverse logistics enables companies to recover valuable materials, reduce waste, and strengthen supply resilience. Participants will examine the design of effective goods return systems, including advanced recovery, sorting, and refurbishment capabilities, and discuss the logistics innovations, regulatory alignment, and business models needed to scale economically viable closed‑loop supply chains across Asia‑Pacific.
About ARLIA
Reverse logistics in Asia is fragmented and under-optimized across key markets including Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Australia and Vietnam. While individual efforts exist, no regional platform or industry-led alliance is driving scalable, cross-sector solutions. Companies and logistics providers are seeking clarity on the business case, policy trends and collaborative pathways to unlock circular value chains.
The APAC Reverse Logistics Innovation Alliance (ARLIA) unites stakeholders across the supply chain to advance forward-looking business models in reverse logistics.
