520    "Packaging has a major impact on supply chain performance,
       as it affects all logistics activities in supply chains. 
       Effective and efficient packaging can significantly 
       improve the performance of companies by generating value 
       and reducing costs and the negative environmental impacts 
       in supply chains. Packaging Logistics uses a systems 
       approach to examine all the essential roles of packaging 
       in supply chains, from the purchasing of raw materials to 
       the production and sale of finished products, as well as 
       transport and distribution. It examines the strategic role
       of packaging and its operational importance, explains the 
       theoretical basis, presents useful methodologies, tools 
       and concepts, and provides decision support for packaging 
       innovation. It provides several examples of the total 
       environmental impacts of packaging: on logistics and 
       transport efficiency, on product waste and from the 
       packaging material. Packaging Logistics covers essential 
       topics such as one-way and reusable packaging, industrial 
       and consumer packaging, ICT, end-of-life, environment, 
       innovation, e-commerce, and future trends and challenges. 
       This research-based and practical book takes the reader 
       through every stage of packaging and relates it to supply 
       chain and logistics, illustrated by many case studies."--
