Brief:

With the steady growth of e-commerce, the number of delivered packaged is also growing. The arising sustainability issues are in two major areas – emissions from transportation and waste from packaging.

Delivery companies try to optimize their routes and shipments, so that they make deliveries as efficient as possible. However, the so called “last mile” deliveries continue to be a logistical (and sustainable) challenge.

On the other hand, in most cases, the deliveries are made in single-use packaging. The fact that it is not reused, but thrown away, causes the negative environmental impact. In addition, some items are delivered in boxes that are much bigger than the product itself. This leads to additional waste from the filling, and emissions from the unused space in the delivery truck.

We are looking for viable solutions in optimizing delivery logistics and sustainable packaging design.
