Retail waste management has been a perennial problem that haunts the retail industry. Not only does retail waste cost them money but it also causes serious environmental problems.
The most common types of retail waste include waste from packaging such as cardboard, plastics, papers, fillers, and general waste from customers. Discarded packaging and shipping materials are just the beginning of retail waste disposal problems. Returning items to the retailer or manufacturer produces a lot of waste since the original packaging just goes back to its origin.
