Analysis based on 2023 ADEME data: How Boks infrastructure cuts the last-mile carbon impact in half.
E-commerce is often criticized for its environmental footprint. However, recent figures from ADEME prove that delivery can be more sustainable than physical shopping, provided that delivery failures are eliminated. Discover how impact reduction through Boks radically transforms the carbon balance of your purchases.
1. Boks Delivery vs. In-Store: The CO2 Match
According to the 2023 ADEME study, the carbon cost of shipping a parcel (e.g., a pair of shoes) depends entirely on the success of the "last mile":
- Boks Delivery (Optimized): Approximately 400g of CO2 per package. This is the most carbon-efficient distribution method on the market.
- Pick-up Point Delivery: +50% CO2 (approx. 600g), as it generates a specific trip by the customer (often motorized) to collect their package.
- Traditional In-Store Purchase: +160% CO2 (over 1000g). The consumer's journey to the point of sale remains the most polluting factor.
The conclusion is clear: Home delivery becomes the greenest choice as soon as it is secured by a smart locker.
2. Impact Reduction with Boks: Cutting Urban Emissions in Half
Freight transport weighs heavily on our cities: 20% of traffic, but 50% of congestion. Adopting a Boks ONE or a Boks Hub acts as an immediate lever on these indicators:
- Number of trips reduced by 30%: We eliminate useless second delivery attempts and customer round-trips to relay points.
- Parking time divided by 3: The courier drops off the package autonomously. Less downtime means fewer traffic jams and less pollution.
- Last-mile CO2 divided by 2: Logistics fluidity that directly improves the air quality in your neighborhood.
3. Low-Tech, High Impact: The Boks Commitment
Ecological impact doesn't stop at delivery. The very design of our products follows a logic of energy sobriety:
- Zero electricity consumption: Our boxes are battery-powered and autonomous. No drain on the building's or home's power grid.
- Zero heavy network infrastructure: Low-energy Bluetooth connection avoids the installation of energy-intensive Wi-Fi repeaters or 4G routers.
- Zero fine particles from braking: By smoothing out delivery rounds, we limit the "stop-and-go" cycles of delivery vehicles, which are responsible for 50% of urban fine particle emissions.
CSR Focus:
For companies and residential buildings, Boks delivery also reduces other greenhouse gases (GHG) by 25% and road occupancy by delivery vehicles by 30%.
Conclusion: Consume Better with Boks Delivery
Sustainability is no longer a constraint but a logistical optimization. By choosing Boks delivery, you transform every order into a concrete action for the Smart City: fewer trucks, less pollution, and cleaner air to breathe.
