Rafał Brzoska, InPost Founder and CEO said, “New parcel lockers are not only being installed at a swift pace, but as part of the Green City program, we have been placing our lockers in cooperation with local authorities and communities to ensure that our lockers blends in harmoniously with the cityscape. In addition, to further reduce the carbon footprint of the ‘last-mile’ of deliveries, zero-emission electric cars are used in the deliveries to the partner cities. We are also installing innovative air-purifying paver blocks at new parcel locker locations, in addition to introducing autonomous parcel lockers, powered by solar energy.”
“We receive a high volume of customer requests to install parcel lockers closer to them. This is why we have focused efforts towards developing our network in smaller towns and villages. Parcel lockers are being welcomed with enthusiasm from customers. as The lockers solves many problems experienced by local communities, where residents often need to drive several kilometers to access their nearest postal point. InPost enables local communities to conveniently send parcels and order goods from retailers located further away.
Parcel lockers have become an integral part of the public infrastructure in both large cities and smaller towns.” Parcel locker InPost is the most ecological form of online shopping. According to an InPost analysis, ordering a parcel to APM reduces CO2 emissions by up to 75% compared to other forms of direct delivery to a customer’s home. In 2020 alone, deliveries to InPost parcel lockers reduced CO2 emissions by over 180,000 tonnes. Further development and optimization of the Parcel locker InPost network will reduce car traffic in cities, which will translate into improved air quality and promote climate protection.
