Abstract
In today’s conditions of intensive development of the circular economy the issues of environmental protection in the transport sphere and organization of logistics activities are actualized. Ensuring sustainable development of the transport and logistics system requires the introduction of innovative models, organizational and managerial and environmental technologies that will meet the modern transformational transformations of the national economy and contribute to reducing the negative impact of transport on the environment. This should take place in the context of the green growth concept and in line with European transport policy TEN-T, aimed at efficient use of resources and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of the research, key environmental and economic problems of sustainable development of the transport and logistics system in Ukraine were identified. It is proved that green logistics is an effective tool for transforming the functioning of the national transport and logistics system. The evolutionary development and stages of formation of the concept of «green» logistics have been studies. On the basis of analysis and generalization of existing scientific approaches to the definition of the term «green logistics» it is established that under it the scientific direction is considered; the factor of environmental protection by using environmentally friendly technologies; a component of the green economy; a kind of logistics based on resource-saving and environmentally sound technologies; an effective approach to managing resource and energy flows in order to reduce environmental and economic losses; economic activity; scientific and practical activity; type of activity related to the efficient management of the flow of logistic flows of products; ecological safety ecosystem security tool; a set of logistic approaches to the optimization of waste streams and resources; ecologically acceptable transport system of distribution; coordination of logistics activities in order to achieve sustainable development. At the same time, most scientists identify the concept of «green» and «ecological logistics», which refers to the scientific direction, which involves the use of modern innovative logistics technologies; a set of actions aimed at minimizing the environmental consequences of logistics activities; Integrated management of logistics processes (production, warehousing, transportation of waste); a subsystem of product flow management from supplier to customer with minimal impact on the environment. The author’s interpretation of the concept of «green logistics» is formulated as a type of economic activity, which includes the processes of material and technical supply, storage, environmentally safe storage, production, service consumers, transportation, sale of finished products, recycling (recycling and recycling), which reduces negative impact on ecosystem and environment. Implementation of the principles and tools of green logistics contributes to minimizing the costs of the process of passing logistics flows while maintaining the necessary level of environmental safety, which is one of the important requirements for the introduction of integrated transport and logistics systems in the current conditions of development of the circular economy.
