InPost Group reduces carbon footprint thanks to SEEDiA solutions
SEEDiA, in collaboration with the InPost Group, has integrated its solar bus shelter with the Paczkomat® machine. This eco-friendly solution significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with parcel delivery. The first implementation of this project is located in the Nędza commune in the Silesian Voivodeship.
SEEDiA, a start-up specializing in solar-powered urban architecture, has integrated its solar bus shelter with the InPost Group’s Paczkomat® machine. This innovative combination enhances parcel delivery efficiency while supporting environmental sustainability.
“I am glad that together we can further reduce the carbon footprint of the last mile and e-commerce sector, while also making public transport more appealing. The added service of parcel collection is another incentive for using these facilities,” says Piotr Hołubowicz, CEO & Founder of SEEDiA.
Inauguration of the InPost Group project in Silesia
The first location of the SEEDiA and InPost project is in the Nędza commune in the Silesian Voivodeship. The solar bus shelter there features four solar panels with a total area of 5.25 m², supplying 79% of its generated green energy to power the Paczkomat® machine, making it nearly fully self-sufficient. The remaining 21% of energy is used for amenities such as lighting, USB sockets, and inductive chargers.
These photovoltaic panels produce 680 kWh of clean energy annually, reducing the carbon footprint by 322.4 kilograms of CO2 per year. This project marks a significant advancement in sustainable parcel delivery and green urban infrastructure.
Following almost a year of research and development, the local community is already benefiting from this implementation. It represents a major step for both SEEDiA and InPost in expanding green urban infrastructure to small towns and villages.
The next locations for SEEDiA and InPost implementations will be in Kielce and the Słupno commune in central Poland.
