2.Companies AreWorking withConsumers toReduce WasteA As consumers,we are very wasteful.Annually,the worldgenerates billion tons ofsolidwaste.This isexpected togo upto billionby
2025.The developedcountries areresponsiblefor44%of waste,and in the.alone,the averageperson throwsaway theirbodyweight inrubbish everymonth.B Conventionalwisdom wouldseem tosuggest that companies haveno incentiveto lengthenthelife cycleof their products andreduce therevenue theywould getfrom sellingnew goods.Yet,more andmore businessesare thinkingabout how to reduceconsumer waste.This ispartlydriven bythe risingprice ofraw materialsand metals.It isalso partlydue toboth consumersand companies becomingmore aware of theneed toprotect ourenvironment.C Whenchoosing whatproducts to buy andwhich brandstobuyfrom,more andmoreconsumers arelooking intosustainability.This isopposed tojust priceand performancetheywere concerned about in the past.In asurvey of54of the world sleading brands,almostall of themreported that consumers areshowing increasingcare aboutsustainable lifestyles.At thesame time,surveys onconsumers in the.andthe.show thatthey alsocare aboutminimizingenergy useand reducing waste.D Forthe mostpart,consumers controlwhat happenstoaproduct.But somecompaniesare realizingthat placingthe burdenof recyclingentirely on the consumeris notan effectivestrategy,especially whentossing somethingaway seemslike theeasiest andmost convenientoption.E Someretailers andmanufacturers in the clothing,footwear,and electronicsindustrieshave launchedenvironmental programs.They want to make their customersinterestedin preservingtheirproductsand preventingthings that still havevalue fromgoing to thegarbage dump.By offeringservices to help expandthe longevityof theirproducts,they repromisingquality anddurability toconsumers,and receivingthe reputationalgains forbeingenvironmentally friendly.F Forexample,the Swedishjeans companyNudie Jeansoffers freerepair attwenty oftheirshops.Instead ofdiscarding their old worn-out jeans,customers bringthem in to berenewed.The companyeven providesmail-order repairkits andonline videos,so thatcustomerscan learnhowtofix apair ofjeans at home.Their philosophyis thatextending thelifeof apair ofjeans is not onlygreat for the environment,but allowsthe consumerto getmorevalue outof theirproduct.When customersdo wantto tosstheir pair,they cangivethem backto thestore,which willrepurpose andresell them.Another clothingcompany,Patagonia,a high-end outdoorclothing store,follows thesame principle.It haspartneredwith DIYwebsite iFixitto teachconsumers howto repairtheir clothing,such aswaterproofouterwear,athome.The companyalso offersa repairprogram for their customersfor amodestfee.Currently,Patagonia repairsabout40,000garments ayear in their Reno,Nevada,servicecenter.According to the company s CEO,Rose Marcario,this isabout buildinga companythatcares aboutthe environment.At thesametime,offering repairsupports theperceived qualityof its products.G InBrazil,the multinationalcorporation Adidashas beenrunning ashoerecyclingprogram called“Sustainable Footprintsince.Customers canbring shoesof anybrand intoanAdidas storeto beshredded andturned intoalternative fuelsfor energycreation insteadofbeing burnedas trash.They areused tofuel cementovens.To motivatevisitors tobringin moreold shoes,Adidas Brazilpromotes theprogram instores byshowing videosto educatecustomers,and iteven offersa discounteach timea customerbrings inan oldpair ofshoes.This booststhe reputationand imageof Adidasby makingpeople moreawareof the companysvalues.H Enormousopportunities alsolie withe-waste.It is estimated thatin the worldproduced some42million metrictons ofe-waste discardedelectrical andelectronicequipment and its partswith NorthAmerica andEurope accountingfor8and12million metrictonsrespectively.The materialsfrom e-waste includeiron,copper,gold,silver,andaluminum materialsthat could be reused,resold,salvaged,or recycled.Together,the valueof these metalsisestimatedtobe about$52bi11ion.Electronics giantslike Best Buyand Samsunghave providede-waste take-back programsover the past fewyears,which aimtorefurbish翻新old electroniccomponents andparts intonew products.I Forother companiesinterested inreducingwaste,helping theenvironment,andproviding thesustainable lifestylesthatconsumersseek,here aresome firststeps forbuildinga relationshipwith customersthat focuseson recyclingand restoringvalue toproducts:J Findpartners.If you areamanufacturer whorelies onoutside distributors,thenretailers arethe idealpartner forcollecting oldproducts.Power toolmaker DeWaltpartnerswithcompanies,such asLowes andNapa AutoParts,to collectold toolsat theirstores forrecycling.The partnershipbenefits bothsides byallowing unconventionalpartners forexample,two companiesfrom twodifferent industriesto worktogether ona specificaspectof thevalue chain,like,in thisexample,an enginefirm with an accessoryone.K Createincentives.Environmental conscientiousnessisn,t alwaysenough tomakecustomers recycleold goods.For instance,DeWalt discoveredthat manycontractors wereholdingontotheiroldtools,even ifthey nolonger worked,because theywere expensivepurchasesanditwas hardto justifybringing themintorecycle.By offeringinstant discountsworthas muchas$100,DeWalt launcheda trade-in programto encouragepeople tobring backtools.As aresult,DeWalt nowreuses thosematerials tocreate newproducts.L Startwith atrial program,and expectto changethe detailsas yougo.Any take-backprogram willlikely changeover time,depending onwhat worksfor yourcustomers andcompanygoals.Maybe yousee lowcustomer participationat first,or conversely,so muchsuccessthat thecost ofrecycling becomestoo high.Best Buy,for instance,has beenbearing thelions shareofe-waste volumesince twoofitslargest competitors,Amazon andWal-mart,do nothave their own recyclingprograms.Since thelaunch ofits program,BestBuychangedits policyto adda$25fee for recycling oldtelevisions inorder tokeep theprogram going.M Builda cultureof collectivevalues withcustomers.A strongerrelationship betweentheretailer/producer andthe consumerisn tjust aboutfinancial incentives.By creatingmoreawareness aroundyour effortsto reducewaste,and by developing aculture ofresponsibility,repair,and reuse,you canbuild customerloyalty basedon sharedvaluesand responsibilities.N Theseexamples arejust thetip of the iceberg,but theydemonstrate howhelpingcustomers getmore useof theirmaterials cantransform valuechains andoperations.Reducingwaste byincorporating usedmaterials intoproduction cancut costsand decreasethe priceofprocurement采购:less tobe procuredfrom theoutside andmore tobe re-utilized fromtheinside.O Companiesplay abig rolein creating a circulareconomy,in whichvalue isgeneratingless fromextracting newresources andmore fromgetting betteruse outoftheresourceswe alreadyhave-but theymust alsoget customersengaged in the process.
