Abstract

This article addresses the interrelations between the perpetual growth of the logistics industry and logistics services on the one hand and changing consumption behaviors and lifestyles on the other. More specifically, we look at how consumption patterns can influence the development and expansion of sustainable logistics structures and services along the supply chain of products found in conventional grocery stores and fashion products distributed through online retailing.
Through horizon scanning and qualitative expert interviews, we developed potential approaches for increasing sustainability in the logistics industry with respect to consumption behaviors. Integrating logistics into the “container” of sustainability, integrating (more) sharing economy elements into logistics services, and taking advantage of existing areas of consumer awareness, such as regional products, for promoting sustainable logistics to end users are only some examples for potential approaches.
