The last link in the logistics chain - disposal logistics
Disposal logistics is the last link in the entire logistics chain. The aim is to dispose of all production residues that cannot be recycled as cost-effectively as possible.
In order to fulfill this basic task, waste is collected, sorted, stored and transported away for final disposal or recycling. As these are costly matters, care is taken during procurement and distribution to minimize waste at the end of the process.
