Abstract:
The green shift is making outdated technology as well as environmentally destructive and wasteful practices more apparent across industries. This is particularly true for cold transportation, as enormous quantities of perishable goods like food and medicine are wasted every year in a system reliant on outdated solutions. As the 2020s has seen major developments in environmental action by law- and policymakers, it has become more viable as well as more important to success for companies to shift to newer, cleaner alternatives. In this article we aim to give a holistic overview of the current state of the field of cold transportation, examining the prevalent technologies and their weaknesses, the ongoing changes in EU legislation and regulations affecting the field, and the topical research with applications in cold transportation. Finally, we present two innovations with significant environmental and economic benefits over the most prevalent systems currently in use.
