For retailers, unsaleables brings countless challenges and significant impacts ranging from food waste to diminished product availability, and a significant financial burden that affects the entire supply chain.  While physical damages still drive unsaleables, product transition, expiry, as well as hazardous waste have all become major contributors. Considering the financial burden for trading partners and the negative consequences on consumers, the environment, and the supply chain, the <a href="http://www.gmaonline.org/forms/committee/CommitteeFormPublic/viewCommitteeDetails?id=16E44700000001">Trading Partner Alliance</a> (TPA) reignited its efforts to address the costly challenges generated by unsaleables. Attend <a href="http://www.gmaonline.org/forms/meeting/Microsite/SupplyChain17,2">From Beginning to End: Collaborative Value Chain Strategies to Reduce Unsaleables to hear findings from CHEP’s</a> study and identify more effective strategies for unsaleables reduction. In the coming years, there’s no question implications from e-commerce will continue to accelerate across the supply chain. The <a href="file:///C:/Users/mel/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.Outlook/XLUY6KPM/fmi.org/digital-shopper">Digitally Engaged Food Shopper</a> report finds consumers could spend $100 billion in online grocery shopping by 2025.
