This partnership aims to demonstrate that sustainable logistics can be easily integrated into the food industry, offering a competitive edge while advancing towards a cleaner, healthier planet
NEW YORK, April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DutchX, the nation's largest zero-emission delivery operator and DeliverZero, an innovator in reusable container solutions, have joined forces to demonstrate that sustainable logistics can be easily integrated into the food industry. This partnership aims to make sustainable practices not only accessible but also convenient and cost-effective.
Starting in New York, DutchX will leverage its electric cargo fleet and employee-based delivery workforce to facilitate delivery operations, transporting food deliveries with DeliverZero's reusable containers to corporate clients across New York City. Additionally, DutchX will manage reverse logistics, facilitating the pickup of empty containers and transporting them to DeliverZero's sanitation warehouses.
"We're excited to partner with DeliverZero to showcase how sustainable logistics can create a circular economy within urban delivery," says Marcus Hoed, Co-Founder of DutchX. "Our alliance underscores our mutual commitment to making sustainable practices not only achievable but also convenient for businesses and consumers."
DeliverZero, founded by Lauren Sweeney, is dedicated to fighting climate change and waste in the food delivery industry. The company's network of returnable, reusable food containers aims to make reuse easy and transparent. Lauren adds, "We're thrilled to partner with DutchX to demonstrate that more sustainable ways of doing business are possible. While it may be a novelty right now, within a few years reusable packaging delivered by cargo bikes will be normal in big US cities like New York. Together, we're creating a pathway towards the best possible future."
What's often talked about but rarely done, DutchX and DeliverZero are leading the charge in making sustainable logistics easily attainable, demonstrating that a greener future is not just a distant aspiration but an achievable reality.
