Notes:
Today when you look at the market…to be precise the linear market, you can sense the expertise of the entire system to deliver efficiently on a forward supply chain. Isn’t it?
On the contrary when we look at the market from the lens of a circular economy we see enormous gaps in meeting the basic necessities needed to have reverse logistics in place. Majority of our take-back mechanisms, collection systems are informally handled and in my view they are amateur on a systemic level to meet the ambitions climate action goals.
That’s where organizations like Karo Sambhav are making a difference by bridging in those gaps and introducing circular strategies and technologies in a way that makes it easy for the brutal market to embrace climate action.
