How is automation transforming warehousing and supply chains? What role does sustainability play in logistics, and can businesses balance cost efficiency with environmental responsibility? In this episode of The Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Seth Weisberg, CEO of ABCO Systems, to explore these pressing questions.

Seth shares his journey from PricewaterhouseCoopers to leading a third-generation logistics integration company. We discuss how automation, AI, and electrification are reshaping warehouse operations, optimising space, and reducing carbon footprints. While automation boosts efficiency, it also raises concerns about labour displacement—Seth provides a nuanced take on how businesses can navigate these shifts.

We also examine the impact of data-driven decision-making in logistics, from improving pick paths to reducing packaging waste. Seth highlights how optimising packaging—by selecting the right box sizes—can cut down on material waste, improve transport efficiency, and lower emissions. The conversation extends to the circular economy, where repurposing materials and rethinking logistics models can further reduce environmental impact.

Whether you're a supply chain professional or just keen to understand how warehouses operate behind the scenes, this episode offers a critical look at the intersection of logistics, technology, and sustainability.
