Метою дослідження є аналіз та систематизація наукових досліджень з використання концепцій зеленої та
сталої логістики та особливостей їх реалізації у деяких країнах ЄС. Основою дослідження є системний підхід, зокрема
для систематизації інформації використано методи аналізу і синтезу. Розглянуто і проаналізовано основні підходи
до визначення поняття «зелена логістика». Охарактеризовано взаємозв’язок основних аспектів логістики сталого
розвитку – економічного, екологічного, соціального – і основних практик «зеленої логістики». Наведено практичні
приклади використання концепції «зеленої логістики» у країнах ЄС – Польщі, Словаччині, Литві. Окреслено проблеми, які
виникають під час впровадження «зелених» рішень. Розглянуто перспективні технологічні рішення з практики діяльності
успішних міжнародних компаній, які можуть бути використані українськими логістичними операторами.
The purpose of this research is the following actions - analysis and systematization of various scientific research and
studies, which consider theoretical aspects of the concepts of green and sustainable logistics, practical aspects of the use of
these concepts, examples, and features of their implementation in some EU countries. Several research methods were used, and
the basis of the research was a systematic approach; in particular, methods of analysis and synthesis were used to process and
systematize information. Various aspects of theoretical studies of the concepts of green and sustainable logistics and examples of
their implementation in different countries were considered. The statistics of the number and distribution of scientific publications
and studies of green and sustainable logistics concepts for the period from 1999 to 2019 were given. As a result of the research, the
main approaches to the definition of the concept of "green logistics," the peculiarities of its interpretation by various researchers,
and the aspects on which their opinions are unanimous were considered and analyzed. The relationship between the main aspects
and goals of the concept of sustainable development - the balance of economic, ecological, and social - and what basic practices of
"green logistics" ensure the achievement of the balance of goals, and each of them separately is characterized. Practical examples of implementation and use of practices of the "green logistics" concept in the EU countries - Poland, Slovakia, and Lithuania - are
given. The peculiarities of the implementation of "green" solutions are outlined, the main types of green and sustainable logistics
practices used and the main areas of implementation of these practices are defined, the motives for using such "green" solutions
and the problems that arise during the implementation of such solutions in these countries are described. The practical significance
lies in the fact that promising technological "green" solutions from the practices of successful international European companies
were considered and analyzed, which can also be used by Ukrainian logistics operators to green their activities and support the
global course towards achieving the goals of sustainable development.
