Logistics / Sustainability / Technology
From this week’s In the Loop: Physical Internet is the future of logistics; sustainable partnerships are the future of ecommerce; and technology is the driver to a more circular future. And LimeLoop couldn’t be happier in the middle of it all.
LOGISTICS
LimeLoop – Physical Internet Start-up Award at IPIC 2021
By Christina Oliver, CONTRIBUTOR AT LimeLoop
In June, 400 participants across the transport, supply chain and logistics global community discussed the problems within the supply chain and logistics systems and offered their Physical Internet solutions.
It was the 8th annual IPIC (International Physical Internet Conference) and LimeLoop’s Co-founder and CTO, Chantal Emmanuel presented LimeLoop’s pitch: Powering Reuse for Retailers.
SUSTAINABILITY
LimeLoop and UpChoose: A Sustainable Partnership for Parents
By Christina Oliver, CONTRIBUTOR AT LimeLoop; FEATURED IN Christine Michel Carter’s blog
In the first year with baby, parents can spend up to $50 a month on baby clothes, estimating the monthly amount for baby at $1,100. Month after month, baby’s clothes accumulate in the dresser and closet or in trash bags and boxes. And while parents can certainly sell, donate, or recycle baby’s old clothes, children’s fast fashion “constitutes a considerable portion of the 26 billion pounds of textiles entering landfills each year.”
We can do better for parents, baby, and the planet.
TECHNOLOGY
Ecosystems for good: How collaborator networks achieve sustainability
By Golnar Pooya, CONTRIBUTOR AT GreenBiz
“Powered by accelerative technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, the cloud and the internet of things, digital ecosystems successfully marry forward-thinking partners and cutting-edge technologies to tackle the biggest threats that humanity faces today.”
As the influx in ecommerce continues, and with that, the climate crisis, the digitization of logistics becomes significantly more important as companies realize sustainable shipping and reusable packaging requires an interconnectedness never once seen before.
