Rich Bulger & I discuss the profit opportunity in #ReverseLogistics, #Recommerce, #Returns, & #Circular #Platforms at #TheNTWKsummit. Returns cost the #retail economy $750 billion in 2022. On the revenue side, the global reverse logistics opportunity is estimated to be $630 billion now and grow to $950 billion by 2032. This conversation is a brief preview of deep-dive webinar that Rich, Scot Case of National Retail Federation & Peter C. Evans, PhD of McFadyen Digital are hosting tomorrow. Webinar Details: https://lnkd.in/dPvaZUtv Rich is the author of the book "Going Circular: The Evolution of Reverse Logistics into a Competitive Weapon.” He was also Director of Reverse Logistics at Cisco & Verizon and is a board member of the Reverse Logistics Association. At Verizon, Rich started their first mobile phone recycling program that grew to over a billion dollars annually by processing over 15 million units annually. On the manufacturing side, Rich realized similar success at Cisco. Rich Bulger & Peter Evans (#McFadyenDigital Chief Strategy Officer) recently taught a full-day course on reverse logistics & circular marketplaces. Tomorrow's webinar will highlight key points from that training with additional insights from Scot Case, NRF's VP of CSR & Sustainability. The #NRF recently acquired the Reverse Logistics Association #RLA as this is massive part of retail. An NRF study found that 14% of all retail sales are returned – a massive portion of the $5 trillion retail market. Legal “Right to Repair” mandates are increasing the need and opportunity for #CircularPlatforms. Gen Z, millennials and more consumers are especially concerned about #sustainability and environmental impact when making purchases. We’ve seen the number of retailers that offer a trade-in program triple in the past year. Learn how these #SupplyChain & #ecommerce #marketplace solutions drive revenue & profit, benefit customers, and help the environment.

How fast is the world adding circular platforms? This is an important question for several reasons.  The rate of growth is crucial to understanding the potential to close the circularity gap. The circularity gap refers to the difference between our current "linear" economic model and a fully circular economy. The current metrics are not good. Circular platforms are critical to closing the gap because they are the most efficient way to facilitate transactions that promote reuse, repurposing, remanufacturing, repair, and recycling. As these platforms grow, they increase the volume and efficiency of such transactions, directly contributing to a more circular economy. As circular platforms scale, they benefit from network effects. More users and participants lead to more diverse offerings, better matching of supply and demand, and increased value for all stakeholders. This accelerates the adoption of circular practices.  They can also promote market transformation. Rapid growth of circular platforms can drive a shift in consumer and business behavior, normalizing circular practices and creating demand for more sustainable products and services. Finally, they can provide data and insights that would not otherwise be available. Larger platforms generate more data, providing valuable insights into circular economy patterns, user behavior, and areas for improvement. Over the past decade, a total of 124 circular platforms have been established. If we break this down by region, Europe has been creating circular platforms at a rate of 5.4 per year, N. America has been averaging 4.7 per year, and the rest of the world has averaged 2.8 per year.  These platforms now do billions of dollars in transactions and cover a wide range of sectors including apparel, electronics, home goods, metals, heavy machinery, plastics, construction waste, and more. It includes platforms like CUDONI, SidelineSwap, Requis Excess Materials Exchange, Circunomics, Currents, METYCLE, Soil Link, GoodBuy Gear, Rheaply and many more. Have these platforms grown to sufficient size and scale to bend the regressive trend in the global circularity gap? No, they have not. The world will need more circular platforms. Moreover, the ones we have will need to grow significantly in size and scale. 🌍🌎🌏 #circulareconomy #platformstrategy #platforms #marketplaces #digitaltransformation #reuse #R2R #reverselogistics McFadyen Digital UN-ECE Transformative Innovation Network (ETIN) TheNTWK | Digital Business Models Circular Economy Foundation World Economic Forum
