Reinventing the Supply Chain: A 21st-Century Covenant with America

Buffington’s vision for a sustainable value chain of the future is already part of a larger, nationwide conversation. This work explores the historical role of supply chains in the global economy; outlines where the system went wrong and what needs to be done to fix it; and demonstrates the possibility of a revitalization of American communities.

Jack Buffington is the director of supply chain sustainability practices at First Key Consulting and professor and academic director of the supply chain management program at the University of Denver. He is the author of several previous books, including The Recycling Myth and Peak Plastic.
