Abstract
Numerous items are used in daily life, resulting in millions of tonnes of packaging waste being generated daily, including cosmetic containers, cardboard packaging used by various e-commerce services, plastic bottles, carry bags, and so on. With a focus on sustainable development, researchers have been working tirelessly to reduce waste generated from the packaging sector by improving the conventional principle, and this project proposes the 4thR—RETURN, with an aim to develop a promising solution that would work on the fundamentals of the reverse supply chain, that is, it shall collect the reusable packaging from the consumer and deliver it to its manufacturing unit or the industry/warehouse where it can be reutilized. To achieve the project’s goal, various technologies, such as multiple layer perceptron, multiple linear regression, and full stack development are used to build a gateway that can allow consumers to return the packaging in the same manner that many e-commerce websites accept product returns.
