This can, in turn, enable them to reduce their operating costs, thereby suppliers can offer products at lower rates to buyers.
• Buyers should engage with suppliers that repurchase used products at fair market value. This assists buyers to dispose of used products in a convenient manner. Also, during such repurchases, suppliers provide credits to buyers for future purchases. This reduces overall procurement costs for buyers.
