Abstract

This chapter depicts a picture of sustainable warehousing from the perspective of the time-phased impact of warehouses on economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability. The authors present sustainability issues in warehouses within three levels: macro, meso, and micro. In the macro level, they review the effect of warehouse location and construction on sustainability. In the meso level, they discuss how to deal with warehouse layout problem, the effects of aisle, and material handling equipment choices on sustainability. Last, they briefly present what warehouse managers can do for sustainable warehousing in a short amount of time. Hence, the authors aim to provide a holistic approach to make warehouses sustainable. Last but not the least, they also present supportive and strengthening theoretical and practical studies to resolve barriers in front of sustainable warehousing.
