This flowchart illustrates the comprehensive supply chain process for biodegradable cleaners, from raw material sourcing through to end-of-life product management. It demonstrates a circular economy approach, starting with natural ingredients and eco-friendly packaging materials, moving through manufacturing and quality control processes, and following multiple distribution channels to reach end consumers.

The diagram particularly emphasizes sustainability by showing how waste products are either composted naturally or recycled back into the supply chain, with empty containers being processed at recycling centers and reintegrated into packaging material production.

The flowchart highlights the interconnected nature of sustainable cleaning product manufacturing, distribution, and waste management, showcasing how each stage of the process is designed to minimize environmental impact while maintaining product quality and accessibility to consumers through various retail channels.
