The *Centre for London [1] reports that freight and deliveries account for a quarter of London&#8217;s total carbon emissions from transport, a pretty alarming statistic.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/s3-615x615.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Over the last couple of years, there has been a decline in high-street retail and a significant increase in online shopping. Home delivery is *24 times more ecologically friendly than a shopping trip to the high<br \/>\nstreet. Part of the problem is that delivery drivers create carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Many deliveries fail because the customer is not in or gets returned, adding extra mileage and more pollution when redelivered. From this, many collection and drop-off points have popped up in towns and cities to try and alleviate the growing problem of the delivery system.<\/p>\n<p>What is an environmentally friendly alternative to redeliveries or collecting from a local depot? Smart Parcel Box has designed parcel boxes that can stand alone or be built into your home. The boxes not only solve our frustrations from lost or delayed parcels but also mean that consumers contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendlier environment, which many strive for in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Smart Parcel Boxes are installed in over 50,000 homes and businesses nationwide. The boxes are sold in various sizes to hold multiple parcels and come in trendy colours made from galvanised steel. Smart Parcel Boxes are dependable, durable and attractive, with a unique barcode that confirms receipt of goods so you can carry on with everyday life and not worry about missing a delivery again!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-676755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/s4-615x615.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/s4-615x615.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/s4-55x55.jpg 55w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/s4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/s4-144x144.jpg 144w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/s4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/s4-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/s4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-676759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s1-615x616.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s1-615x616.png 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s1-55x55.png 55w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s1-768x770.png 768w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s1-144x144.png 144w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s1-350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s1.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-676760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s12-615x820.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s12-615x820.png 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s12-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/s1s12.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart Parcel Box might just be the perfect gift foer the dad who has it all!
