Sustainable Returns
in Ecommerce
What we do today, matters tomorrow – Invest in the future of returns to support a circular economy.
The facts.
Consumers will never love everything they buy, every single time. Returns happen, but that does not mean our planet should suffer because of it. Brands attract and retain loyal customers that share their values.
Having a returns management solution that prioritizes optimizing the reverse supply chain will limit the negative impact returns have on our environment and planet. Returns data provides insight on a retailer’s returns performance so they can make more insightful and sustainable business decisions.
Each year in the US, 5 billion pounds of returned goods end up in landfills.

Before ReturnLogic, we weren’t capturing the granular data that we could use to better analyze and make improvements to our returns process. We were losing data, so we did not have a full picture of what was actually happening with our returns.
