Returns put a huge financial burden on retail brands, as there are significant costs associated with shipping, handling, and processing returns. Then there’s the cost of the product itself, along with the matter of how to dispose of it. Unfortunately, it’s all too common for returned goods to simply end up in landfills. In fact, returns generate about 5 billion pounds of landfill waste annually when many of these goods could be refurbished and resold at a lower price point. Not only does this secondary market provide great deals for consumers, but it also offers a new revenue stream for brands and reduces their environmental impact.
