Today\u2019s savvy companies are looking for innovative ways to reduce their carbon emissions. While recycling, bike to work and rideshare programs are great, they don\u2019t address one of the major trends of the 21st<\/sup>Century \u2026 online shopping.
\nFor the first time, consumers are purchasing more of their goods online than in stores. In fact,
\n8 out of every 10 Americans<\/a> shop online and even more astounding is the fact that 62% are making online purchases every week.
\nHowever, with the increase in online shopping also comes an increase in missed deliveries and carbon emissions. According to ABC News, problems arise\u00a0when consumers are not at home<\/a>, as redeliveries add a significant amount of carbon emissions to the environment. In the U.S. alone, the chain of returned goods used\u00a04.5 billion liters of diesel fuel and emitted 12 million tons<\/a>\u00a0of carbon emissions in 2015.
\nCompanies that are looking for new ways to protect the environment should consider installing parcel business lockers<\/a> for their employees to utilize for personal and professional deliveries. Parcel lockers make it safe, secure, fast and easy for employees to retrieve their packages while at work. This way, employees don\u2019t have to worry about missed deliveries, porch pirates stealing their packages right from their doorsteps or trying to rush home to catch the courier in time.
\nCommercial parcel lockers<\/a> simplify the package delivery process and save time and administrative costs for companies. For example, Parcel Pending commercial lockers take care of logging, retrieving, and distributing packages quickly and effectively with little to no involvement from office staff. \u00a0With Parcel Pending\u2019s commercial solutions, couriers and staff can securely deliver packages to our parcel boxes.
