Physical Internet in Warehouse on the Background of GHG Emissions
Journal Title: Research in Logistics & Production - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
An excessively strict level of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases is a serious challenge to broadly understood logistics. Alternative ideas for reducing the emission of toxic sub-stances in the area of supply chains are sought. Will the Physical Internet, a brave and right idea, be one of the answers? Persuading companies into cooperation and creating innovative technological solutions in the PI-nodes of individual levels are, however, a question of strategic significance, to be settled in the long years to come. The assumed level of reduction of greenhouse gases "cannot wait that long". Implementing the idea of the Physical Internet is a tempting proposition in terms of environmentally sustainable logistics, but in a (very) long term.
