Wanted: Sustainable last mile delivery heroes

Are you ready to champion sustainability? Living in the outskirts or rural areas shouldn’t mean compromising on eco-friendly choices, especially in the crucial final stretch of goods logistics.

For this idea competition in the framework of the SuCoLo research project, we are looking for innovative ideas for sustainable solutions that raise awareness of green alternatives, support local initiatives, promote sustainable collection and delivery methods and motivate consumers to make environmentally conscious choices.

Join this movement – bring your ideas, whether solo or as a team, and help shape the future of logistics to be sustainable, smart, and livable! You can submit your ideas in the following areas (maximum three per category per person) until November 27:

👩🏼‍🏫 How can we encourage behavior change and awareness among consumers in rural and suburban areas to adopt more sustainable practices when ordering and receiving goods? What (digital) features and strategies could effectively support these behavior changes?

🍏 How should a “green” online store be designed to attract environmentally conscious consumers and encourage sustainable delivery? What key features are crucial (e.g., information on delivery emissions, promotion of local supply chains, choice of delivery vehicles), and how should they be implemented?

👟 Imagine the perfect pick-up station. What amenities and incentives would encourage people to choose pick-up delivery for their goods?

🚗 Design the ultimate booking platform for cargo bike sharing that can facilitate citizens to move/deliver goods in a smooth and sustainable way. What features would be essential (e.g., user-friendly booking system, route optimization, real-time data integration and pricing), and how can these be implemented?

YOUR ideas can make the difference! Submit them now and share your unique perspectives with us. We look forward to your creative suggestions!
