Green Logistics The modern logistics, as the traditional logistics technique and sustainable development combination model, is thought of an important profit headspring except for helping business of enterprise lower the supplies consume and increase the rate production. The good future of logistics is based on Green logistics. Logistics is the integrated management of all the activities required to move products through the supply chain. For a typical product this supply chain extends from a raw material source through the production and distribution system to the point of consumption and the associated reverse logistics. The logistical activities comprise freight transport, storage, inventory management, materials handling and all the related information processing. The main objective of logistics is to co-ordinate these activities in a way that meets customer requirements at minimum cost. In the past this cost has been defined in purely monetary terms. As concern for the environment rises, companies must take more account of the external costs of logistics associated mainly with climate change, air pollution, noise, vibration and accidents. Green logistics is concerned with producing and distributing goods in a sustainable way, taking account of environmental and social factors. Thus the objectives are not only concerned with the economic impact of logistics policies on the organization carrying them out, but also with the wider effects on society, such as the effects of pollution on the environment. Green logistics activities include measuring the environmental impact of different distribution strategies, reducing the energy usage in logistics activities, reducing waste and managing its treatment. In recent years there has been increasing concern about the environmental effects on the planet of human activity and current logistic practices may not be sustainable in the long term. Many organizations and businesses are starting to measure their carbon footprints so that the environmental impact of their activities can be monitored. Governments are considering targets for reduced emissions and other environmental measures. There is therefore increasing interest in Green logistics from companies and governments.
Reverse Logistics Along with environmental protection laws and regulations' releasing and enhancement of the people environmental protection consciousness, the reverse logistics has displayed the great social and economic value and caused the domestic and foreign theorists and the practical realm enormous attention. The reduction of waste means that Reverse Logistics should be included within Green Logistics.
Integrated with traffic and transportation, storage and delivery, logistics industry realizes low cost and high benefit in enterprises and society. Therefore, logistics industry, together with internet industry, is looked on as the important content of "New economy", and it is widely known as the third profit source and gold mine of the market. The Green logistics has been underlined by many nation and researches accompanied the increasing attention on environment protection from the public. The paper presents the model of Green logistics in brief under the establishing of the Green logistics which is based on the environment protection and an implement strategy has been put forward. As follow: (1) Green Supply Chain The conflict among population, resource and environment requires the manufacturing to develop environmental management strategies. The green supply chain management (GSCM) is an effective way to solve the problem. The concept model of green supply chain is constructed, and strategic objects of green supply chain management are analyzed based on sustainable development theory. The basic principles of green supply chain management are discussed, which include the intergrowth theory, the cycle theory, the switchover theory and the open system theory. (2) Green Production Logistics The purpose of green production logistics is to ensure that each machine and workstation is being fed with the right product in the right quantity and quality at the right point in time. The issue is not the transportation itself, but to streamline and control the flow through the value adding processes and eliminates non-value adding ones. Production logistics can be applied in plants. Manufacturing in an existing plant is a constantly changing process. Machines are exchanged and new ones added, which gives the opportunity to improve the production logistics system accordingly production logistics provides the means to achieve customer response and capital efficiency (3)Green Transportation Logistics The purpose of green transportation logistics is to reduce consumption of energy in transportation, reduce discharge discard material and reduce transport tool occupancy road pass through effective project and control materials circulation system. The green transportation logistics proposes strategies such as strengthening management of routing; enhance loading, market operating and inter-management based on the duration rising of cost.
(4)Green packaging The increasing of waste had impacted the sustainable development and packaging waste was an important part of the solid waste. Green packaging discussed the whole process of packaging life cycle, and put forward some measures which can make packaging waste minimizing, including laws and rules, economic instrument and recycle system. (5) Green Distribution processing Distribution processing refers to goods from production to use the process, as required on packaging, segmentation, measurement, sorting, assembly, to pay the price stickers, labels affixed to pay, commodity inspection, and other simple operations collectively. Distribution processing is characters of production, but also the logistics departments can accomplish a great deal of profit in environmental protection area. Green Distribution processing includes two major aspects: First, changing the consumer processing to the focus professional processing, the firms dependent on the scale of operations to improve the efficiency of resource use, reducing environmental pollution. Second, the logistics firm collects the processing of scrap materials, to reduce pollution caused by the waste of the spread consumers processing. (6) Green Distribution Logistics Green Distribution Logistics is great significance under buyer's market conditions. It is not just simply door-to-door, and warehousing, classification, packaging, handling and transport rationalization of its customers at the lowest cost; it more important provides a good service to win customers trust. (7) Waste material logistics Required by the sustainable development of resource, environment, society and economy, waste material logistics should be paid much attention. The value of waste material logistics is increasingly appearing. Waste material logistics has reverse and uncertain and complex features. Benefit-balance principle, prior-control principle and system principle should be abode by in the management of waste material logistics.
