Sustainable Last-Mile Delivery Innovations: Decarbonizing IT Product Logistics Through Smart Technologies

The final stage of IT product delivery operations comes under scrutiny by the adoption of smart technologies that have the purpose to reduce carbon emissions and maintain the operational efficiency. The research proposes three innovative technological solutions that revolutionize traditional logistics operations to create sustainable supply chains. A projected analysis up to the year 2030 indicates that the combination of artificial intelligence route optimization with electric delivery vans and micro-fulfillment centers will achieve a 62.8% reduction in emissions and a 43.5% improvement in delivery efficiency. The research assesses the impact of blockchain-based supply chain transparency combined with Internet of Things (IoT) solutions on this correlation. A structural equation model reveals that the use of smart technology helps to break the connection between decarbonization effects and sustainability policy. The research provides fresh theoretical insights to the development of sustainable logistics along with real-life strategies to applying technology within IT product delivery systems.
