This book shows the relationship between the sustainability
movement and supply chains. It provides a guide for supply chain
professionals, as well as government officials, corporate
executives, and institutional leaders on how to direct their
purchasing power so that they source products that not only fill
the needs of their organizations, but that also contribute to the
health and well-being of the planet. The author, Dr. Kevin Lyons,
Ph.D., combined his experiences as the Chief Procurement Officer
at Rutgers University with his own unique supply chain
archeology. His archeological research involved sifting through
garbage dumps where he examined the discarded products he
procured for the university. Working backwoods, he developed
systems and techniques for making sure sustainable products
entered the supply chain from the start. And once they no longer
served their intended purpose, they were recycled or
reused.
