1 billion people will move to big cities
200% growth in e-commerce
if e-commerce doubles and thus deliveries, cities infrastructures will break together.
deliveries today are associated with long waiting times, far walking distances, failed attempts of delivery and packaging waste.
we need a simpler system with drop off points to make pickup and delivery more flexible.
to make it more environmentally friendly

a new delivery system with reusable boxes was synthesized by going through all the possible scenarios for a last mile delivery.
drop off points for more flexibility on the last mile
the station
interactive platform for deliverers and customers
the app
a reusable, repairable and recyclable container
the box
four sizes
the box is adjustable in size for better protection and less space consumption.
the box was constructed for easy (dis)assembly and recycling.
the uniforms sizes require less space during transport.
the closing mechanism allows opening and removal in two separate stages for greater safety.
