The Challenge

Schneider Electric's Evreux site needed to address resource scarcity, evolving regulations, and growing customer demands for circular and sustainable supply chain operations.

The Solution

Schneider Electric transformed its Evreux site into its first circular distribution centre, implementing an end-to-end 'use better, longer, and again' model. Key innovations include a digital customer platform for ordering and take-back of over 3,000 SKUs and circular solutions in packaging, transportation, and energy.

Results

The transformation reduced single-use plastic by 40% and energy consumption by 18%, establishing a replicable model for circular distribution across the company's global network.

Key Takeaways

  • Digital platforms enable circular economy models at scale in distribution
  • End-to-end circularity approach addresses packaging, transport, and energy simultaneously
  • 40% single-use plastic reduction demonstrates measurable sustainability progress
