Technique Overview
Green Logistics Definition
Green logistics aims to move and deliver raw materials and products at the lowest possible cost while maintaining the highest standards and minimising environmental impact in the process. It implies innovation in all steps of the supply chain, the conception of product and in some cases the final use of products (McKinnon et al., 2010).
