IDC PeerScape: Practices to Operationalize Repair, Reuse, Recycle
This IDC PeerScape examines several successful practices in the areas of repair, reuse, and recycle that retailers or brands have undertaken in their efforts to operate more sustainably."Operating 'eaches' businesses at scale, as we know from ecommerce, is expensive and difficult," says Jordan K. Speer, research director, IDC Retail Insights. "Operating a reverse 'eaches' business at scale — another way to think about recommerce — introduces a wide range of unpredictable and uncontrollable factors that act as a force multiplier on the complexity and challenge of retail supply chains."
