挑战
Closeing the Loop 是一家收集和回收废旧手机的公司,在管理其在非洲收集的废旧手机的可追溯性方面面临着重大挑战。非洲的电子废料问题日益严重,当地没有适当的回收设施。因此,废旧手机将在欧洲运送和回收。这一过程为非洲的电话收集者和企业家创造了就业机会,并减少了环境破坏、污染、危险废物和健康问题。然而,确保通过收集和回收废旧手机来补偿每部新手机是一项复杂的任务。废旧手机被分批收集,按公斤付费,然后合并成大袋,然后进一步合并到集装箱中,送往欧洲的冶炼厂。
关于客户
Closing the Loop 是一家致力于通过为客户订购的每部新手机收集和回收废旧手机来抵消电信行业对环境的影响的公司。他们主要在非洲开展业务,那里的电子垃圾问题日益严重。该公司的运营不仅有助于减少环境破坏、污染、危险废物和健康问题,还为当地电话收集者和企业家创造就业机会。他们的商业模式包括将收集到的废手机运往欧洲进行回收,因为非洲当地没有适当的回收设施。
解决方案
为了应对这一挑战,Closing the Loop 使用 ChainPoint 软件来追踪在非洲收集的各批次废旧手机。该软件将批次、大袋、集装箱和冶炼厂的所有信息链接在一起,确保整个供应链的完全可追溯性。对于每部订购的手机,都需要收集一定数量的废品。 ChainPoint 的平台会自动将每个订单转换为公斤,从而简化了流程。为关闭循环而配置的平台具有多种功能,包括从收集器到冶炼厂的可追溯性、从公斤废料到手机单位的转换以及供应商入职。该解决方案提供了一种全面的方法来管理废旧手机的可追溯性和回收利用。
