I've also since been responsible for cba's on reusable totes, trays, and packaging from a supply chain angle in a TPS JIT scenario in 2PL and 3PL. Green initiatives are a ridiculous joke and people don't realise more resources get expended trying to be green rather than old fashioned disposable packaging. I've attempted to pitch cost saving measures for supermarket chains before that balanced big rig dual trailer loads and could have had real load reductions and therefore cheaper fuel and wear and tear costs.... but it all fell on deaf ears. People want to buy big bags of chips and popcorn full of air....</blockquote>
