<\/div>\n

We\u2019re in an age when consumers and businesses are more aware than ever about the need to build a more sustainable world.  <\/span><\/p>\n

But how can we make our lives and our businesses more sustainable? What are the seemingly small\/simple changes we can introduce to make a big impact tomorrow?<\/span><\/p>\n

These were just two of the questions that Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles explored on a city trip with the innovative ID. Buzz Cargo concept car to one of Europe\u2019s sustainability tech capitals, Amsterdam.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the trip, the ID. Buzz Cargo met three startup founders who are seeking to change the world of tomorrow by taking a deeper look at the way we package, design, and transport products. These inspiring people and their visions were presented on stage at The Next Web Conference under the title #movingideas. Want to find out more? Then hop in and join us.<\/span><\/p>\n

First stop: Digitalization meets sustainability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On our way to Amsterdam, we made a pit stop in Cologne to meet sustainable packaging startup VYTAL. Takeaway food is growing more and more popular, however it also results in more packaging. <\/span><\/p>\n

VYTAL provides restaurants with reusable dishes in which customers can receive their meals and then return them after they\u2019ve finished eating \u2013 completely free and without paying a deposit. Users can register via an app, with QR codes linking each dish to its user. <\/span><\/p>\n

The journey from the first idea \u2013 making tomorrow\u2019s reusable dishes as easy and intuitive as they are disposable \u2013 to the concept as it exists today was a long, continuously developing process. However, Dr Tim Breker, VYTAL co-founder and Managing Director, says:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The many challenges and changes are what makes inventions so unique and stimulating.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Reinventing the status quo and helping people live more sustainably, this is an example of an innovation that\u2019s as brilliant as it is simple. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Second<\/strong> stop: design meets sustainability<\/b><\/h2>\n

Dutch start-up Project Cece is a fair-fashion finder disrupting the market by making it even easier to shop for sustainable, fair-trade clothing. The Project Cece website not only offers a wide variety of fashion brands, but also provides highly detailed information about the companies. As Project Cece\u2019s co-founder Melissa Wijngaarden put it: <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Sustainability and transparency are most important, but without appealing packaging not a lot of people will buy it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Third stop: logistics meets sustainability<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sustainability and customer-friendliness do not need to be contradictory. Dutch startup, Trunkrs\u2019 proves this. Trunkrs offers logistics solutions for fast, reliable same-day delivery. It makes use of environmentally conscious delivery vehicles, spaciousness and always-on connectivity. Jan Wijn, the co-founder and CEO of Trunkrs, is also thinking big: <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

We want to change the world of logistics by using sustainability, connectivity, and digital transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The transport of the future will not just be sustainable, but also smart.  <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>#movingideas \u2013 the journey has only just begun<\/b><\/h2>\n

Project Cece, VYTAL, Trunkrs and the ID. Buzz Cargo are all exciting new ideas that will help us transition towards a more sustainable world. <\/span><\/p>\n

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles aims to move people and goods from A to B efficiently and sustainably. Or, as Dennis Haustein, Head of Market Intelligence at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, says, \u201cDuring development, we are always guided by one question above all:<\/span> how can we make our customers\u2019 lives easier, professionally and personally?<\/span>\u201d The ID. Buzz Cargo from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will offer sustainable electric mobility, connectivity and a generous amount of space. But the journey is only just getting started, as the future will need more ideas to keep things moving. <\/span><\/p>\n
