Thomas Eldridge Campbell’s Post

It's Monday, so that means a new episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain! In this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Thomas Campbell, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Capacity LLC, about the evolving role of sustainability in logistics. Over the past 25 years, Thom has seen first-hand how sustainability has gone from a “nice-to-have” to a critical part of business operations—and the stories he shares are great. We explored some super topics, including: 📦 Consolidated Shipping: How combining shipments can drastically reduce emissions and operational costs. 🤖 AI and Robotics: The surprising ways advanced tech is streamlining logistics and reducing waste. 🌞 Green Facilities: Achieving LEED and ENERGY STAR certifications and how these impact the bottom line. 📋 Regulations: How programmes like California’s WARE are driving change (and costs!) in the sector. 🛍️ E-Commerce vs Retail: Which is really the more sustainable option? What struck me most was Thom’s candid approach to sustainability—it’s not just about lofty goals, but about tangible, measurable actions that create real change in supply chains. 🎧 Curious to hear Thom’s insights? Watch the reel 🎥, then check out the full episode on the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, or here on YouTube https://lnkd.in/de39wyM6. What do you think, is e-commerce destined to replace brick-and-mortar retail, and if so, can it ever be as sustainable? Or are we just shifting emissions from one part of the chain to another?

🎙️ Excited to share my conversation with Henry Beniard, Chief Operating Officer of TWICE COMMERCE on the Circular Coffee Break Podcast where we dive into the transformative world of circular commerce. In our conversation, we delved into the innovative strides Twice Commerce is making in the realm of the circular economy. We discuss the importance of not only focusing on material flows and supply chains but also on the development of circular business models, a crucial aspect that is often overlooked yet is a significant concern for executives at major brands and retailers.   We also explore the challenges and solutions related to supply/demand imbalance and the traditional retail model. The conversation highlights how Twice Commerce is addressing these issues by facilitating the acquisition of pre-owned products from consumers and optimizing the profitability of each unique item through their lifecycle. This approach is not only environmentally responsible but also economically viable, ensuring that every item is sold at least twice, hence the name Twice Commerce.   Join us as we unpack these topics and more, providing insights into how businesses can pivot towards sustainable practices in e-commerce and contribute to a more circular and resilient economy.   🔗 https://lnkd.in/dJ-Km6GZ   #CircularEconomy #SustainabilityLeadership #InnovativeBusiness #Podcast #SustainableBusiness #TheCircularCoffeeBreak

Absolutely thrilled to share some amazing experiences from my recent travels around the world, where I had the opportunity to meet many incredible people. One person who truly stands out is Kevin Lawton, CLTD, whom I met at the Warehousing Education and Research Council (WERC) conference last month. Kevin hosts an AMAZING podcast series called "The New Warehouse," where he brings a fresh and exciting perspective to the world of warehousing. His unique take, where he believes that warehouses are sexy, is truly captivating. I've learned a lot from his series, including insights into fractional warehousing and the incredible work being done by the fashion sustainability company, Patturn's COO Dennis Hoang, MBA. I'm excited to share that Kevin just hit a remarkable milestone, releasing his 500th podcast episode! I was honored to join him in Episode 499, where we discussed Circular Logistics and how Reverse Logistics has evolved into a competitive weapon. I highly recommend checking out Kevin's work and tuning into his podcast. There's so much to learn and be inspired by! 🌟 #GoingCircular #Networking #Logistics #Warehousing #Sustainability #Podcast #TheNewWarehouse #ReverseLogistics #CircularEconomy #KevinLawton #Patturn
