The GEODIS logistics site in Torija, Spain, serving a leading e-commerce client, is launching a new reverse logistics service. The 55,000 square meter warehouse includes 3,000 square meters dedicated to reverse logistics. The site is designed to handle large volumes of XL product returns such as household appliances.
With the rise of e-commerce, the increase in product returns has significantly grown, highlighting the growing importance of environmental awareness. Thanks to the workforce on ground and optimized processes, GEODIS handles the management of product unloading, classification, outbound flows to external repair, and removal or liquidation of outbound flows to fulfillment activities in case of sellable or unsellable products. When necessary, GEODIS engages accredited service providers who use sustainable methods for product destruction.
"Reverse logistics is essential for our clients as it allows them to improve customer satisfaction, reduce operational costs, and minimize environmental impact by optimizing the management of product returns, repairs, and recycling," said Ivan Sanchez, Managing Director of GEODIS in Spain. "Whenever possible, we systematically offer this support to our clients," he added.
This new service demonstrates GEODIS' ability to adapt to the changing needs of the online commerce market, continuing its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of logistics and promoting the circular economy.
