En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en Español, Sofía Rivas conversa con Margie Bazán, especialista en sostenibilidad y representante de BG Metal Trade, sobre un tema que todos tenemos literalmente en casa; la basura electrónica. Desde los celulares viejos que guardamos “por si acaso” hasta las laptops olvidadas del home office, Margie nos muestra que dentro de todo eso hay tesoros escondidos. El episodio nos sumerge en el fascinante mundo de la minería urbana, donde los metales preciosos se rescatan de aparatos en desuso para darles una segunda (o tercera) vida. Margie comparte cómo funciona este proceso, los retos en Latinoamérica y por qué Asia lleva la delantera. Además, nos deja una gran reflexión: el reciclaje no es solo un acto ambiental, sino una oportunidad para repensar la cadena de suministro y hacerla más circular.

Due to this formidable footprint, its supply chain is extremely multifaceted and nuanced, and it is Patrick and Derek’s job to ensure operations run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. This involves careful management and curation of a technology stack made up of different systems and software that sings in harmony. For example, a major priority for them right now is warehouse optimization, a multi-year project which involves the modernization of a legacy WMS platform. Patrick and Derek also spend a lot of time collaborating with and providing their own frontline insight to Will, who is the CEO and Co-founder of Vector, a yard management platform designed to increase visibility for supply chain personnel and their partners.
