Furthermore, the project team works in close cooperation with the European technology platform ALICE, the ‘Alliance for Logistics Innovation through Collaboration in Europe’. The members of the platform develop a comprehensive strategy for research, innovation and market deployment of logistics and supply chain management innovation. A major economic benefit of the Physical Internet is that it supports the development of more efficient and effective business models for logistics by sharing assets. Project findings show how companies can optimize transport costs through cooperation and how they can simultaneously increase productivity. Ecological benefits of the Physical Internet result from reducing the consumption of energy and resources and prevent pollution by lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
