In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I chat with René Schrama, Chief Commercial Officer at Peak Technologies, about how intelligent automation and digitisation are transforming supply chain sustainability.

We unpack why targeted automation—not massive, costly projects—is the future. René shares insights on balancing human creativity with digital precision, navigating trade disruptions, and why even six-second improvements can drive real change.

We also talk about the Kaizen mindset, re-harvesting precious resources, and how to design out waste in supply chains. Whether you’re tackling reverse logistics, dealing with labour shortages, or trying to build resilience in uncertain times, René’s practical advice and real-world examples will give you a fresh perspective.

Listen in, and let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
