How is the environment affected as more people choose to buy their groceries online? It will National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) sort out.
One should look at is how people’s travel habits change when the food is delivered directly to the door, and how e-commerce affects the retailers’ distribution solutions.
“If we do not take the car to do the grocery shopping, it can help us to take the car to another instead,” says Malin Henriksson, researchers at VTI in a press release.
According to an estimate by the Finnish Transport Agency Swedes are buying trips for 13 percent of total carbon emissions.
VTI has received 3.5 million kronor from the Swedish Energy Agency for the research project that will last for two years.
