Responsible Consumption and Production
What contribution can IT solutions make?
IT systems can help companies to better plan and optimize the use of resources and optimize process and supply chains so that resources are used less wastefully on the one hand and processed more efficiently on the other. In addition, waste can be reduced through smart packaging and production strategies or fed back into the circular economy as a recyclable resource.
