GREEN LOGISTIC

Green Logistic



Abstract

The paper discuses about the transportation and logistics are responsible for climate change as they produce greenhouse gases and contribute to the increasing share of fossil fuels, such as oil, in global energy consumption. The paper also discusses that economic growth in Europe will be affected by the costs of this transition from the current energy and transport system. A smooth transition towards a low-carbon energy and transport system could come at comparatively modest cost. Furthermore, identifying the most economically beneficial solutions early on and becoming a global technology leader and standard setter offers vast opportunities for exports and economic growth. Hence, our de-carbonization strategy may eventually have a greater impact on long-term European growth than the current economic crisis.

Green Logistics

Introduction

Logistics involves the movement of products from every step between raw materials and end consumer of a finished product. One of the Keys focuses of logistics is delivering a product which will satisfy consumers at the lowest possible cost, and a variety of innovative measures can be used to cut costs and reduce overall costs. Supply chain management, warehousing, retailing, manufacturing, and safety inspections are all a part of logistics (Ramanathan, 2009, pp 123-134).

In the case of green logistics, all of the issues which pertain to regular logistics still apply, with the added factor of environmental friendliness. Sometimes, making products environmentally friendly also happens to play into economic concerns.

Discussion and Analysis

Today, environmental pollution presents an extremely complicated problem and many environmentally conscious people are becoming increasingly aware of this fact. The industry is the largest producer of hazardous substances and thus has the largest need for transporting such products. Throughout the life cycle of products, from the launch of an idea to the withdrawal of an old product, adverse effects can be produced and reflected in our environment. The industry is becoming well aware of this fact and strives to implement new, environmentally friendly instruments and standards, such as improving production capacities.

Welcome to a world 'De-carbonized'

Whatever the motivations and reasons, we are in a time without unprecedented in human history in which there is convergence of factors and growing political will to transform the biggest industry in the global economy: the energy sector. The new goal: how to transform an industrial industry valued at three billion dollars annual business doubled while the energy production planned for 2030 to meet the demands of a world's most populous and richer.

Over the next decades need an exponential increase in R & D to promote creativity and in- innovation needed to help the pro- so of "de-carbonization" of the economy world. However, many technologies clean and are available as in- mediate and only await the conditions of appropriate market to grow at a global industry. This only is possible with new regulations, in market incentives and policies and climate change have not existed at present (Schmidt, 200, 777-793).
