Greenlogistics
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Innovation is a primary concern of industry and logistics services are constantly looking for ways to innovate in order to gain competitive advantage revolutionary. Green innovations can have a major impact in reducing the environmental burden of this industry particularly in terms of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The collaborations can also engage with industry and play a role by providing the right environment for companies to innovate. As a result of the global warm today, it is evident that there is a need for integrating green innovations in logistics. Many countries around the world have adopted the practice of green logistic. Malaysia is one of these many countries. Malaysia unlike countries like Singapore and so one are still trying to adopt the practice of green innovation in logistics. One of the big challenges facing the Malaysian industries at present is creating a long term sustainable society with the least possible negative environmental impact. A new approach of green innovations to logistics emerged in the early 2000s which went beyond the standard logistical imperatives for efficient, effective and fast handling and movement of goods and took into account measures for protecting the earth's environment or sometimes, it was referred to green logistics approach. The green logistics refers to plan, control, management and implementation the logistics system through the advanced logistics technology and environmental management, aiming to reduce the pollutant emission.
