Abstract

The concept of sustainable development requires us to explore a completeness model of low carbon transport and service in the light of the advancement of changes in world cooperation policy. Various kinds of carbon constraints not only limit emissions of contaminants from E-commerce Enterprise of different countries, but they also ensure the market activity around the Belt and Road, so as to avoid the implementation reducing the company’s profits significantly. This paper discusses of the strictest periodic low-carbon constraints_(PLC) and the expansion of the mainstream with three relatively weak attributes—cumulative_(CLC), full cycle_(FCLC), and volatility_(VLC)—taking into account the offline delivery of lead time and the online relationship between supply and demand on the platform. We have established four decision models with different carbon confinement intensities and inferred the impact of more detailed carbon constraints on E-commerce delivery strategies. The appropriate operational decisions, under a wide spectrum of carbon constraints, help e-companies develop scientific delivery plans, and provide some inspiration for the promotion of low carbon economy system construction and environmental significance.

Highlights

  • The “Belt and Road” initiative (“B&R”) provides new opportunities for achieving the goals of the United Nations sustainable development and offers a new paradigm for global win-win cooperation

  • Dn: The distance that the retailer needs to transport to the consumer n; ρp: The minimum density of goods transported by mode k can provide; ek: The carbon emission of transport mode k delivers per kilometer of bulk products; Qinkp: The average number of products p delivered for the consumer n for mode k within cycle i; Eimax: The largest unit of the carbon emission of product allowed by service cycle i

  • The retailer will be based on the total carbon emissions and cyclical carbon requirements to adjust their own delivery decision table in order to meet their own needs

Summary

Introduction

The “Belt and Road” initiative (“B&R”) provides new opportunities for achieving the goals of the United Nations sustainable development and offers a new paradigm for global win-win cooperation. According to the IPCC2014 report, global greenhouse gas emissions have risen to unprecedented levels [1] This raises the point: in order to effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions and achieve sustainable development of the population, environment and resources, the United Nations has developed a set of mechanisms such as carbon credits, carbon offset, carbon tax and so on. (i) Section 2 reviews the research literature on the supply chain model under the carbon constraint, including the research on the transportation and the retailer’s delivery, and the Bender’s decomposition method used in this paper to solve the mathematical model. This section summarizes the main research work and the conclusions of this paper, and points out the main contribution and the research work that needs to be carried out further
