An evaluation of the effectiveness of ‘street turn’ as a green logistics tool for the management of empty containers for road haulage in Malaysia / Nur Farizan Tarudin

The problem of empty containers is not unique to Malaysia but also a major problem that is faced by other countries around the world. An effective strategy of managing empty containers not only enable financial savings, but it also has the added advantage of contributing to the well being of the env...
