Mechanisms¶
- Returnable Container Loop
- Its central failure mode is a broken or leaky return channel: carriers go out reliably but come back unreliably, dwell time creeps up, and the fleet slowly bleeds into the field until replacement purchases quietly recreate the one-way cost the loop was meant to eliminate.
This sourceExplains that reusable containers require a return-logistics system that reliably transports empty containers from recipients to subsequent senders.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
