The expectations of household goods consumers are hitting a higher bar, as they are choosing to invest in household goods that are more eco-friendly than others. Along with this elevated standard, retail companies like Amazon are changing the game of delivery times, making even one-day delivery the norm for many consumers.
Most household durable companies are stuck facing the hardships of the standard supply chain. They experience issues with product destruction during transportation because of unreliable, unsustainable packaging, and are more vulnerable to material shortages due to a lack of green reverse logistics in their business models.
This is leading to product returns, shipping delays, dramatically increased fuel and disposable packaging costs, and unhappy customers at home.
The inefficient energy use in supply chains leads to higher greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs overall, in an evolving era of increased corporate scrutiny around developing and reaching ESG goals.

“For retailers, environmental concerns are top of mind. Any product brought into stores- in boxes, crates, racks, whatever- they prefer to see that packing material immediately taken away for reuse. I know The Home Depot and Costco have so many environmental concerns, they want solutions so that they do not have to worry about a product’s packaging being put in the dumpster…”
