Sustainable Value Chain Solutions
Increasing your corporate sustainability profile doesn’t have to break the bank. ModusLink is at the forefront of the sustainability movement offering a Suite of Sustainable Value Chain Solutions designed to help clients leverage affordable, environmentally friendly practices and materials throughout the global business network.
Our cradle-to-cradle approach includes services ranging from packaging design and network optimization to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) footprinting, recycling and asset disposition. This holistic view of the supply chain enables us to offer clients a range of sustainable value chain solutions that drive greater labor and energy efficiency and typically lower the total landed cost of a product.
Our Sustainable Value Chain Solutions Suite spans:
- Sustainable Packaging — We can measure and analyze the amount of GHG emissions resulting from various packaging types and propose more eco-friendly variations. Our efforts are supported by the industry’s leading tools and best-practices in this area.
- Optimized Configuration — Our leading supply chain analysis and optimization solution determines the most efficient and cost-effective supply chain model and inventory strategy possible. During this process, we analyze each part of the network to identify new opportunities to create more sustainable processes and practices.
- GHG Optimization — We can measure and analyze each trade-off—including carbon emissions for logistics and all GHG emissions for operational activities—by assigning value to carbon credits. This enables us to recommend a sustainability program that fits a client’s specific needs and geographic requirements.
- Value Recovery – To minimize the environmental impact of end-of-life product, ModusLink harvests working components for reuse and resale. Non-hazardous materials are recycled while toxic electronic components are safely disposed of through approved e-scrap processes.
