Based in Amsterdam, this Dutch eco food delivery service brings groceries from farmers markets on sustainable e-trikes. FOODLOGICA uses solar powered electronic tricycles for the 'last mile' of food transportation. The service is focused on bringing produce from urban farmers markets to local catering businesses, in particular.
Developed by Cities magazine, the FOODLOGICA initiative aims to give food providers with a zero emissions alternative when dealing with caterers and transportation choices. Starting at 15 euros, the carbon free option costs more for longer distances and additional stops to incentivize green habits.
The eco food delivery service not only reduces the amount of emissions and costs caused by transport trucks, but also encourages local enterprise and relationships between suppliers and businesses.
