Why this matters for deep tech: Reverse logistics is a physical-world AI problem: variable goods, tight labour costs, per-item economics. ByeAgain's centralized decision systems are the kind of applied-AI infrastructure that makes circular-economy operations viable.

In this episode, we cover:

• Refurbishment-as-a-service for returned, non-standardized goods
• Item-level unit economics of resale-ready inventory
• AI-guided operator workflows and centralized decision systems
• DACH labour-cost constraints as the binding factor
• Treating product returns as infrastructure
