Being able to answer this question provides an important foundation. The company’s exposure has been assessed, relevant requirements and responsibilities are understood, and the first areas where action may be needed are becoming visible. But clarity about the current situation alone does not create ... ### 15 Sep 2026 ### [Reverse logistics vs. traditional logistics: what’s the difference?](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/reverse-logistics-vs.-traditional-logistics-whats-the-difference) On 15 , Sep 2026 | In | By Alisa Maier [![Reverse logistics vs. traditional logistics: what’s the difference?](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1cc%20blog%20reverse%20Logistics%20vs.%20Traditional%20Logistics.png?width=550&name=1cc%20blog%20reverse%20Logistics%20vs.%20Traditional%20Logistics.png)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/reverse-logistics-vs.-traditional-logistics-whats-the-difference) Storing, picking, packing, dispatching and finally delivering products to the customer: traditional logistics often follows clearly defined and easily plannable processes. But what happens when a product has to take the opposite route? This is where reverse logistics comes into play. Returns logistics is an important part of this. It involves much ... ### 20 Jul 2026 ### [Our PPWR Webinar Series Returns in German](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/our-ppwr-webinar-series-returns-in-german) On 20 , Jul 2026 | In | By Alisa Maier [![Our PPWR Webinar Series Returns in German](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Webinar%20%C3%9Cbersicht%20EN-1.png?width=550&name=Webinar%20%C3%9Cbersicht%20EN-1.png)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/our-ppwr-webinar-series-returns-in-german) Following the strong response to our English sessions, we are now offering the same free PPWR webinar series in German.

In practice, however, the real work begins much earlier – namely as soon as devices are returned, collected or exchanged as part of a trade-in scheme. From this moment, a reverse logistics chain begins that must be organised, documented, and managed in a ... ### 01 Jun 2026 ### [Meet Us at Two Events This June](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/meet-us-at-two-events-this-june) On 01 , Jun 2026 | In | By Alisa Maier [![Meet Us at Two Events This June](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Events%20June.png?width=550&name=Events%20June.png)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/meet-us-at-two-events-this-june) June is all about exchange, innovation, and fresh impulses around sustainability, the circular economy, and digital transformation.

This is exactly where many companies find themselves today. The relevance is understood, initial areas for action have been identified, and ... ### 07 May 2026 ### [From Buzzword to Strategy: Making Circular Economy Actionable](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/from-buzzword-to-strategy-making-circular-economy-actionable) On 07 , May 2026 | In | By Alisa Maier [![From Buzzword to Strategy: Making Circular Economy Actionable](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Circular%20Economy-from%20buzzword%20to%20strategy.png?width=550&name=Circular%20Economy-from%20buzzword%20to%20strategy.png)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/from-buzzword-to-strategy-making-circular-economy-actionable) Circular economy does not have to be a large-scale transformation, if you know where to start. This is where many companies find themselves today. Pressure is increasing, driven by regulation, customer expectations, and internal sustainability targets. At the same time, one key question often remains unanswered: How do we translate this topic into ... ### 04 May 2026 ### [Meet us at IFAT Munich 2026](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/meet-us-at-ifat-munich-2026) On 04 , May 2026 | In | By Alisa Maier [![Meet us at IFAT Munich 2026](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Events%20May.png?width=550&name=Events%20May.png)](https://blog.1cc-consulting.com/en/meet-us-at-ifat-munich-2026) From May 4–5, 2026, we will be on-site at IFAT Munich – the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies.
