GREEN-LOG in Leuven: Turning surplus into value with zero emission logistics!

In Leuven, the GREEN‑LOG Living Lab tested a Logistics‑as‑a‑Service solution for food‑surplus redistribution, connecting local shops, social organisations and cargo‑bike couriers.

The pilot enabled real‑time coordination and consolidation of food donations, delivering:

  • 66 zero‑emission pick‑ups and deliveries
  • 11 social organisations receiving surplus food
  • 10 local shops and supermarkets actively participating
  • 355 food boxes redistributed to people in need
  • 1.4 tonnes of food saved
  • 1.4 tonnes of COâ‚‚ emissions avoided

Results showed high stakeholder acceptance and increased awareness, while improving access to food for local communities.

 A powerful example of how sustainable logistics can drive both environmental and social impact – watch the video!
