Sustainable and Circular Logistics

In an era marked by accelerating climate change, resource depletion, and shifting consumer expectations, the logistics industry stands at a critical crossroads. Traditional linear models of “take, make, dispose” are no longer viable in a world that demands resilience, responsibility, and regeneration. Sustainable and Circular Logistics: A Practical Handbook Based on Data-Driven Insights emerges as a timely response to these challenges. This book bridges the gap between theory and actionable practice, offering professionals, researchers, and students a comprehensive guide to integrating sustainability and circularity into logistics systems. Rooted in real-world data, case studies, and evidence-based strategies, it provides a pragmatic roadmap for transforming supply chains into more efficient, regenerative, and future-ready networks. This handbook does not merely advocate for change-it empowers it. By grounding its guidance in quantitative insights and proven methodologies, it equips readers to make informed, impactful decisions at every level of the logistics value chain. Whether you’re a supply chain manager seeking to reduce environmental footprints, a policymaker designing sustainable infrastructure, or a student eager to shape the next generation of logistics innovation, this book is designed to be both a reference and a catalyst. We hope it inspires a shift toward smarter, data-informed logistics practices that contribute to a truly circular and sustainable global economy.
