Co-design process for sustainable logistics innovation: feedback from the Smart Green Pallet case study

This article looks at the process of co-designing a sustainable logistics innovation for direct large-scale implementation. It is based on the case of the design of a "Smart Green Pallet" and an associated innovative service offering. After positioning the case study, the article describes the process that led to the design of a sustainable product+service offering combining innovation in materials (recycled and recyclable plastic), innovation in the assembly of information systems (IS) and information technologies (IT), and innovation in the service offering linked
to the use of traceability data.
