European ecommerce studies introduction of a statutory return fee

[Even with the hangover of cold logistics innovation in Valencia produced by BiofreshTech present, the ecommerce machine is not resting.
Specifically, German ecommerce.
One of the most relevant in Europe, has been in the news for having the highest number of returns in the entire European market.
This has led professionals to consider a return rate.

Ecommerce with Return Tariff

German society buys products online at an annual rate of 70 billion euros.
However, one in six is returned.
For example, 490 million products were returned in 2018 and this year the figure continues to rise.
Faced with this problem, German researchers have expressed their concern and state of alert, calling for legal action.
The need would involve a measure in the form of a return fee. The fee for each shipment is estimated at €2.95 and would prevent about 16% of returns.

“Returns affect 80 million items” (Bamberg University).

This economic measure has been analyzed in depth by researchers at the University of Bamberg.
It would have repercussions far beyond the courier collective in Valencia.
The return fee law could help reduce the amount of waste and lessen the burden on climate change.
The results of the study estimate that a legal return fee would prove to be a very useful tool.
As low as this fee would be, it would help to control returns and their negative effects on parcel delivery in Valencia.

“It is still too early for a holistic assessment of such a measure, but in our opinion, it is worth thinking about.”

The market that has the greatest impact on this delicate situation is the fashion market.
These are the products that are most often returned due to their nature and the consumption habits of their audiences.
The market is looking to new technologies to help the user choose the right size and avoid returns.

“Data analytics, artificial intelligence and existing everyday technologies, such as a smartphone camera to measure the body, will enable significant economic and environmental savings.”
