EP 48: ASD Market Week, Reverse Logistics, Circular Supply Chains & Secondary Markets w/ Stephanie B

In this episode of All Things Circular, host Rich Bulger sits down with Stephanie Beringhele, VIP Buyer Relations Director at ASD Market Week, to explore how one of the largest retail trade shows in the world is becoming a powerful hub for the circular economy, liquidation, and secondary supply chains.Stephanie shares the story behind ASD’s evolution from a surplus show founded in 1961 to a massive marketplace connecting more than 30,000 buyers, sellers, and entrepreneurs across retail, wholesale, liquidation, and reverse logistics. The conversation dives into why events like ASD bring together the people who actually move products in the secondary supply chain, from retailers and brands to liquidators, bin store operators, and resale entrepreneurs.Rich and Stephanie also break down the growing importance of what Rich calls “circular logistics,” the full lifecycle of a product after first use. As returns, excess inventory, and secondary markets continue to grow, understanding how products move through resale, liquidation, and redistribution channels is becoming a major competitive advantage for retailers and entrepreneurs alike.The episode also highlights the upcoming All Things Circular masterclass at ASD Market Week, a hands-on educational experience designed to help operators better understand reverse logistics, resale strategy, and inventory monetization. Through expert panels, interactive discussion, and a guided walk of the show floor, attendees will see how circular supply chains work in the real world and how to apply those lessons directly to their businesses.ASD Market Week takes place March 17–19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, bringing together thousands of buyers, suppliers, retailers, and secondary market operators for three days of networking, sourcing, and education. Whether you're looking to grow your resale business, source new inventory, or better understand how reverse logistics fits into modern retail, ASD offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from the people shaping the industry.If you’re attending ASD Market Week in Las Vegas, be sure to check out the All Things Circular panel and masterclass and connect with the community that is redefining how products move after first use.Visit our website to learn more:https://allthingscircular.comConnect with Rich: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rich-bulger/Connect with Steph: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-beringhele-5403a863/SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW ALONG!Our podcast focuses mostly on:Circular Economy, Sustainable Living, Sustainability, Eco-Friendly, Recycling, Zero Waste, Environmentalism, Green Economy, Climate Change, Business Sustainability, Waste Management, Renewable Resources, Eco-Innovation, Supply Chain, Business, Circularity, Environmental Impact, Life Cycle Assessment, Upcycling, Downcycling, Closed Loop System, Sustainable Practices, Resource Recovery, Circular Strategies, Podcast, Alternative Materials, Reverse Logistics, ITAD, Lifecycle Services, Product Sourcing, and more!
