Logistics Reduction
Logistics Reduction
Logistics reduction technologies reduce the number of materials required from Earth through means of repurposing, reusing, or extending useful lifetimes. This section captures relevant technologies that can reduce logistics up-mass beyond what is captured in the Trash/Waste Management section.
