Abstract
The project focuses on Sweden's growing parcel locker networks used for e- commerce delivery. These lockers have the potential to improve e-commerce logistics' operational and environmental performance if efficiently designed. To achieve this and promote sustainability in Sweden's e-commerce market, effective policy tools are essential.
The project aims to advance knowledge on parcel locker network development from a policy perspective by addressing three main questions: How does the current parcel locker policy influence Sweden's network development? What is the environmental impact of parcel lockers on e-commerce logistics? How can policy tools facilitate the transition to sustainable e-commerce and logistics practices? The findings aid the transition to more sustainable e-commerce practices, utilising policy to achieve goals efficiently.
The project is a pre-study and consists of three studies: Study 1 reviews existing policies and synthesises scientific knowledge, Study 2 examines relevant parcel locker markets and initiatives, and Study 3 involves interviews and workshops with various stakeholders, including logistics operators, software providers, municipalities, and policymakers. Among participants of Study 3 are logistics and parcel locker operators, parcel locker and software providers, land and property owners, municipalities and policymakers.
The project is a preliminary study funded by VINNOVA/ASTER, and is conducted in collaboration with project partners - Nowaste Logistics AB and Helsingborgstad.
