Author(s): Łukasz Jarosław Kozar,Łukasz Jankowski,Rafał Cwajda,Łukasz Gradek,Anna Dorota Goszczyńska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

Packaging is essential for the transport of goods. In the context of the transformation of the current economy towards a green economy, researchers of the subject pay attention to the issue of the materials from which packaging is made, whether it can be recycled (including to what extent), or whether it can be reused in the transport process. Hence, the impact of packaging on the environment and the greening of the supply chain through the implementation of appropriate packaging (including eco-friendly packaging) are increasingly being addressed in various scientific studies. These aspects have become an area of scientific consideration in this chapter. Based on a bibliometric analysis using the VOSviewer software, the key areas around which packaging in the context of a green supply chain is addressed in research are presented. The chapter also presents implemented solutions aimed at greening the supply chain around packaging in selected business entities.

Food Waste Management and Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Supply Chain Operations Reference Model

Author(s): Sonal Pandey / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Unused food is discarded, lost, or uneaten; these are the three types of food waste. Despite their similarities, all three have critical differences within their definitions. Food waste or loss causes are numerous and occur at the production, processing, retailing, and consumption stages. Current estimates put global food loss and waste between one-third and one-half of all food produced. Loss and wastage occur at all food supply or value chain stages. In low-income countries, most loss occurs during production, while in developed countries, much food – about 100 kilograms (220 lbs.) per person per year – is wasted at the consumption stage. Everyday households around the world throw away tons of food while many people on the same planet are dying from hunger. Our reality is full of contradictory facts that we can ignore or not. For someone, this will be a good reason to get concerned and take care of their food waste, while others will need more reasons for that. A good reason would be the collection of data by local community to show the reality of the percentage of food waste in households. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that more than 130 billion pounds (about 58966960000 kg) of food is wasted in this country alone every year – an average of more than 200 pounds of food per person. It is a staggering number, and combined with the approximately 17 percent of food going to waste in the rest of the world, it has real consequences for people everywhere (embrace relief.org). The cost of food for the preparation of meals is the second largest expense in households, right after personnel costs. This study aims to explore ways to reduce food wastes and losses and establish a better management of food disposal in households. Data was colected through a survey of local households in New Jersey. An in-depth survey was conducted with the help of Survey Monkey and 1000 local households were contacted in November 2022, with a brief introduction to the research topic. 891 respondents replied and showed interest in sharing their views on the topic and ready to share the data of their household food waste. To maintain confidentiality, I have anonymized the respondents as a number. The purpose of the descriptive data analysis was to show how important food waste management is and what the several reasons are for household food waste. With single-family settings, I also try to analyze the amount of food waste per family. The results of my analysis show the amount of food wasted in this area every month. Based on the analysis, there are suggestions about how we can minimize food waste. To give lots of suggestions, I implemented the SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model facilitated by Artificial Intelligence.

Multi-Level and Multi-Stakeholder Governance in Essential Services. The Case of the Public Transport System in Madrid

Author(s): Javier Ruano,Aída Díaz-Tendero / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Nowadays, public transport in large cities is facing multiple challenges worldwide due to increasing mobility needs and greater complexity. On the one hand, urban sprawl has led to a significant increase in travel between urban centres and their periphery, and between the periphery and suburban areas. The construction of new infrastructures to facilitate mobility and the traditional lack of adaptation of urban planning policies to urban transport policies has encouraged the use of private vehicles. However, the serious air pollution problems in cities, which cause millions of deaths annually worldwide, the problems of road congestion, the need for sustainable transport models that limit dependence on fossil fuels, and the need, evidenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, for healthy cities based on the design of open and shared spaces, make public transport systems a central element in building liveable cities.

E-CMR - Трудности при внедряването

Author(s): Petar Dimitrov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The electronic waybill (E-CMR) is an electronic version of the traditional paper waybill that is used when transporting goods in the European Union. Although E-CMR has many advantages, there are also some difficulties associated with its implementation. These difficulties include a lack of uniform standardization, technical difficulties, lack of trust, lack of training and information, legal issues, and data security. The implementation of E-CMR requires well-developed technical solutions and data storage infrastructure, which can be difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, a lack of trust on the part of transport companies and their customers, as well as a lack of training and information, can be problems. Some EU countries do not yet recognize E-CMR, which can lead to legal problems when transporting goods across borders. Data security is also an important aspect of E-CMR implementation.

eTIR – Бъдещето при международните превози

Author(s): Todor Karadzhov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

International law regulations for road transport began to be drafted and signed by various countries in the middle of the last century. They are intended to establish uniform rules for international transport. The Customs Convention on the International Carriage of Goods under Cover of a TIR Carnet is key to facilitating the transit of goods across the borders of signatory countries. Nowadays, this transit is made possible through the use of a unified customs document called 'TIR carnet'. With the development of technology and the necessity to transport goods faster, the idea of implementing the eTIR system has emerged. It is intended to make the work of both carriers and customs authorities easier by ensuring faster and smoother passing through border controls. The purpose of this report is to look at how the system works and what its benefits are.
