Beskrivning
This book offers a comprehensive, forward‑looking analysis of logistics in the digital shopping era. It explores the journey of products from virtual shopping carts to consumers’ hands (how they are stored, packed, shipped, returned, reused, and delivered) with a strong focus on digitalization and sustainability.Readers will gain a well‑rounded understanding of the operational, technological, and strategic challenges that shape modern e‑commerce logistics. Each chapter tackles a different segment of the value chain – from fulfillment and last‑mile delivery to reverse logistics and re‑commerce – combining academic insights with real‑world case studies and industry data. This book addresses contemporary topics, such as cross‑border e‑commerce logistics,platform‑driven logistics models, omnichannel strategy, UX design for returns, digital transformation, digital product passports, the circular economy, and the environmental and social impacts of packaging and transportation. Particular attention is given to emerging solutions for sustainable urban freight transport, such as microhubs and collaborative city logistics initiatives, as well as to the role of stakeholders, including retailers, logistics providers, regulators, and urban communities, in shaping more sustainable logistics systems. Its interdisciplinary approach, blending qualitative research with practical application, provides actionable insights for optimizing logistics performance while advancing sustainability goals.With clear language and evidence‑based approach, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering guidance for navigating the next decade of logistics in an increasingly digital, climate, and socially conscious marketplace shaped by global platforms, cross‑border trade, and evolving regulatory frameworks. It is essential reading for logistics researchers, professionals, e‑commerce managers, academics, policymakers, and students seeking to understand the complexity and evolution of digital commerce.Chapter 1 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

'Since I became interested in urban logistics some 15 years ago, the topic of last‑mile logistics has grown in ways no one would have believed at the time. Urban logistics was then a niche area within the broader logistics field. Back then, we studied projects on business models and the implementation of city‑logistics solutions, mainly aimed at reducing congestion and emissions in European city centers. That was complex enough in itself. However, in recent years, e‑commerce has expanded at an incredible pace, driven by platform technologies and large companies’ omni‑channel distribution strategies. Deliveries to the doorstep or to collection points have become norm. As a result, new knowledge is needed — and this book provides a wealth of insights on e‑commerce and last‑mile logistics, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and circular supply chains. Congratulations to the editors and authors on a fine book that will be useful to anyone interested in e‑commerce, logistics, or e‑commerce logistics.'- Professor Britta Gammelgaard, University of Southern Denmark and Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Logistics Management'E-Commerce Logistics: From Click to Sustainable Delivery offers a rigorous and integrative perspective on one of the most dynamic domains in supply chain management. Its strong focus on sustainability, combined with a holistic treatment of fulfillment, last-mile delivery, and reverse logistics, makes it an essential resource for understanding modern e-commerce systems. The book not only synthesizes the current state of knowledge but also outlines important directions for future research and practical implementation.' - Professor Christian F. Durach, ESCP Business School and European Co-Editor of the Journal of Business Logistics and Senior Associate Editor of the International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management
