As London continues to evolve into a greener, more sustainable city, businesses and individuals alike are seeking eco-friendly delivery solutions. Same-day courier services are no exception. With rising awareness of environmental challenges and the implementation of measures like the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), courier companies are adopting innovative practices to reduce their carbon footprint.
In this blog, we’ll explore how eco-friendly courier services are transforming London’s logistics landscape and how Selena Courier is leading the charge toward sustainability.
Why Eco-Friendly Deliveries Matter
1. Combating Climate Change
The transport sector is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. In urban areas like London, sustainable logistics play a vital role in reducing air pollution and combating climate change.

London’s ULEZ regulations aim to improve air quality by reducing vehicle emissions. Businesses operating within this zone are required to use low-emission vehicles or face penalties.
