LOGISTICS AND GREEN LOGISTICS:


Logistics is made up of following activities:
Good transport
Storage
Inventory management
Overall materials handling
Related information processing.
GREEN LOGISTICS:
it is defined as efforts to measure and minimize the environmental impact of
logistics activities, these activities include proactive design for disassembly.

DRIVERS OF GREEN LOGISTICS:

Mounting energy costs
World wide alarm among corporates over
GREENHOUSEGASES emissions.
Climate change
Regulations such as EPA and RoHS and so on.
Improved community awareness of environmental issues.
AREAS IN WHICH GREEN LOGISTICS CAN
BE IMPLEMENTED:
Network optimization
Packaging reduction
Sustainable procurement
Warehouse layout optimization
Contribution of green logistics to the
creation of economic and social values
Economic values
Improved customer satisfaction
Good relations with stakeholders
Green image
Higher delivery reliability through optimized route planning and less
truck downtime
Higher productivity through higher motivation of the employees
Reduced liability risk
Reduced taxes
Improved financial performance
Social values
Reduced environmental impact ( ex. Co2-emisisions, noise levels)
Better utilization of natural resources(ex. Fuel, packaging)
Development in harmony with culture and available resources
Reduced social cost(ex. Health problems In the communities)
Access to clean water and clean energy
Creation of jobs
Enhanced quality of life
Frame work of green logistics system
Green transportation
Green warehousing
Green packing
Waste management
Green logistics data collection and management






Implementation of green transportation:
Transportation has significant influence on the environment. So, for this
reason green transportation is one of the main components of green logistics
Green Transporation includes:
1) The construction of transport networks
2) operation of transport vehicles
3) disposal of Transportation vehicles and parts
Green Warehousing
Construction
Capacity
Clean material handling equipment
Process optimization
Automatic warehousing systems
Inventory minimization programs and just-in-time
On-site recycling
Product Disposition


Green packing

Primary Packaging
Secondary Packaging
Shipping Packaging

Green Logistics Data Collection and
Management
Radio Frequency identification
Fuel consumption monetary

Waste Management
Waste Contractor
Trade waste recycling

Conclusion
Adopting Green Supply logistics best practices
results in multiple environmental benefits. These
benefits include improvement in energy and waste
reduction, less packaging in related activities and
decreased GREEN HOUSES GASES emissions.
