Why Smartdrop?
What is the impact of the deliveries of all our parcels on our society? 188 million euros! This can and must be improved!
E-commerce is everywhere & it has an impact
We have bulky packages delivered. And that has a huge impact on our society. The cost of this to our society in Belgium is 188 million euros per year.
Deliveries not only emit CO2, but they also cause other problems that each have a cost for our society: air pollution from transport, but also from the production of the fuels used for this purpose, accidents, noise pollution, traffic congestion and the repair costs for the damage to our roads.
Smartdrop wants more sustainable deliveries!
Major improvements are possible. If we were to go for the most sustainable supply today, we could instantly reduce the impact, and therefore the costs, by 21%! Understanding the impact of our deliveries is therefore essential.
Every delivery of an online parcel costs society 70 cents on average.
However, the differences between delivery options are large depending on where the consumer lives.
Making parcel deliveries more sustainable is a task for parcel operators, retailers, policymakers and consumers. Smartdrop provides all those involved with the necessary information and insights to achieve this sustainability.
