LIUC University, together with SCS Consulting, Politecnico of Milan and CNR-ISMed of Naples, promoted a conference dedicated to to the eco-efficient management of return logistics of e-commerce (reverse logistics) in the fashion sector that is will be held next Wednesday at the Auditorium of the LIUC in Castellanza (Varese). The meeting will be a moment of comparison between experts and leading companies in the sector, to share concrete experiences and success stories. Thanks to the Speakers from companies such as Stella McCartney, Yamamay, UPS and Fiege Logistics, we will analyze how the different players in the supply chain interpret the challenges of reverse logistics and what strategies are putting in place to face them, from the balance between costs and customer service up to the integration of efficiency operational and sustainability.

Announcing the conference, LIUC highlighted that the growth of e-commerce is transforming shopping habits, but it is causing problems that are not always clearly visible but increasingly critical and among these the exponential increase in returns, with numbers speak for themselves: in the fashion sector, among the most interested, more than 30% of online orders in Europe and almost 40% in Europe. Italy are returned. The consequences are considerable: costs for more than 2.5 billion euros per year and millions of tons of CO2 generated by the return logistics flows.

During the conference, the results of the of the research conducted by the LIUC Green Transition Hub, which mapped and analyzed the return flows in fashion e-commerce and developed a model that produced a series of scenarios for Guiding companies towards returns management strategies eco-efficient.
