E-commerce is reducing the carbon footprint of retail, according to a study
In more than 75 percent of the baseline cases examined by the MIT Real Estate Innovation Lab, e-commerce proved to be the more sustainable solution.
Delivering goods on an optimal route reduces transportation-related emissions by almost 90 percent, the study finds. Most of the emissions associated with traditional trade come from the transport of goods, and this is two and a half times the carbon footprint from packaging, from which most of the CO2 emissions from e-commerce come.
