BALANCING SUSTAINABILITY AND COST : A REVIEW OF GREEN LOGISTICS IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT

Abstract

This review explores the problematic relationship between sustainability and fee inside the context of green logistics within engineering and control. As industries international more and more understand the want for sustainable practices, the task lies in integrating green logistics techniques even as preserving price-effectiveness. Green logistics makes a speciality of decreasing the environmental effect of logistics activities through techniques which include strength-green transportation, waste discount, and optimized deliver chain management. However, imposing these techniques frequently entails preliminary funding expenses and operational modifications, elevating issues about their monetary feasibility. This paper discusses diverse processes to balancing sustainability and fee in logistics, together with innovative technology, policy frameworks, and high-quality practices in inexperienced supply chain control. The assessment similarly highlights case studies from distinct industries wherein green logistics practices have correctly been incorporated, reaching a harmonious balance between environmental duty and profitability. By synthesizing key findings from the prevailing literature, this paper gives valuable insights for corporations and policymakers to navigate the demanding situations of adopting sustainable logistics practices without compromising financial overall performance.
