The Product Sustainability Roundtable looks interesting; Supply chain traceability has become a major area of focus and continues to grow. This started out in a range of hard products (think Nike) but has become a much greater issue related to food and food safety.

The Product Sustainability Roundtable looks interesting; Supply chain traceability has become a major area of focus and continues to grow. This started out in a range of hard products (think Nike) but has become a much greater issue related to food and food safety. The presentation provided here was particularly interesting considering the difficulties of supply chain in extended supply chain products such as computing. Being able to trace a product perhaps at its EoL might be an interesting way forward to manage downstream waste.
