Green Q-Commerce: Balancing Speed and Sustainability in Hyper-Fast Delivery Systems
Abstract: The rapid expansion of quick commerce (q-commerce) has transformed consumer expectations with ultra-fast deliveries, yet its environmental impact—marked by carbon-intensive logistics, excessive packaging waste, and energy-heavy operations—poses significant sustainability challenges. This review examines how the q-commerce sector can reconcile speed with ecological responsibility through innovative solutions, including electrified last-mile delivery (e-bikes, electric vehicles, drones), circular packaging models (reusable containers, biodegradable materials), and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven logistics optimization (route efficiency, demand …
