Abstract

Ovaj rad istražuje primjenu zelene logistike u procesima skladištenja i transporta u proizvodnim poduzećima u Republici Hrvatskoj. Cilj je analizirati kako usvajanje ekoloških praksi može unaprijediti učinkovitost i održivost logističkih operacija skladištenja i transporta unutar proizvodnih organizacija. U radu se definiraju osnovna načela zelene logistike i njihova važnost u smanjenju ekološkog otiska logističkih aktivnosti. Potom se navode dobre prakse pri procesu skladištenja, odnosno metode za smanjenje potrošnje energije, optimizaciju prostora i smanjenje otpada u skladištima. Posebna je pozornost posvećena implementaciji energetski učinkovitih sustava i zelenih tehnologija. U radu se analiziraju i dobre prakse u transportu, odnosno strategije za smanjenje emisija CO2, poboljšanje transportnih ruta i učestalosti prijevoza te primjena alternativnih goriva i vozila. Razmatraju se i inovacije u transportnim sustavima koje pridonose smanjenju zagađenja okoliša. U sklopu provedenog primarnog istraživanja analizirana je primjena zelene logistike u procesima skladištenja i transporta na uzorku proizvodnih poduzeća u Republici Hrvatskoj. Rezultati istraživanja upućuju na to da su poduzeća upoznata s konceptom zelene logistike, koju često izjednačuju s održivošću, posebno sa „zelenim“ transportom. Nadalje, rezultati istraživanja pokazuju napredak u integraciji obnovljivih izvora energije i ekološki prihvatljivih praksi u poslovanje poduzeća, ali istodobno naglašavaju izazove povezane s troškovima, dostupnošću tehnologije te potrebom za daljnjom automatizacijom. Na kraju, rad zaključuje s preporukama za proizvodna poduzeća koja žele unaprijediti svoje logističke procese s pomoću zelene logistike te se ističu moguće prepreke i prilike za daljnji razvoj održivih logističkih rješenja, posebice u procesima skladištenja i transporta.

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores the application of green logistics in storage and transportation processes within manufacturing companies in the Republic of Croatia. The aim is to analyse how the adoption of ecological practices can enhance the efficiency and sustainability of logistics operations related to storage and transportation within manufacturing organizations. The thesis defines the basic principles of green logistics and their importance in reducing the environmental footprint of logistics activities. It then highlights best practices in storage processes, such as methods for reducing energy consumption, optimizing space, and minimizing waste in warehouses. Special attention is given to the implementation of energy-efficient systems and green technologies. The thesis also analyses best practices in transportation, including strategies for reducing CO2 emissions, improving transport routes and frequency, and the use of alternative fuels and vehicles. Innovations in transport systems that contribute to reducing environmental pollution are also considered. As part of the conducted primary research, the application of green logistics in storage and transportation processes was analysed on a sample of manufacturing companies in the Republic of Croatia. The research results indicate that companies are familiar with the concept of green logistics, which is often equated with sustainability, particularly with "green" transportation. The findings also show progress in the integration of renewable energy sources and environmentally friendly practices into business operations, while simultaneously highlighting challenges related to costs, technology availability, and the need for further automation. Finally, the thesis concludes with recommendations for manufacturing companies that wish to improve their logistics processes through green logistics and highlights potential barriers and opportunities for further development of sustainable logistics solutions, particularly in storage and transportation processes.
