A recent Eurobarometer survey by the Directorate-General for Environment (published on 29.05.2024) reveals that more than three-quarters of Europeans (78%) feel directly affected by environmental issues in their daily lives, and around four in five respondents (84%) agree that EU environmental legislation is necessary for protecting the environment in their country.
This survey highlights the growing concerns about pollution, water scarcity, and harmful chemicals, emphasizing the urgent need for innovative and sustainable solutions. At ZERO, we believe our FlyingZERO Air Delivery as a Service offering is poised to address these concerns head-on, bringing a transformative approach to environmental sustainability.
Addressing Pollution and Its Costs
The survey shows that 92% of Europeans believe companies should pay for the costs of cleaning up their pollution, reflecting a strong consensus on corporate responsibility. At ZERO, we echo this sentiment with our commitment to reducing the environmental footprint with the introduction of air deliveries.
FlyingZERO operates on a carbon neutral aiming for net-zero emissions model, leveraging advanced clean energy technologies to minimize pollution.
By choosing FlyingZERO, companies can demonstrate their dedication and commitment to environmental stewardship, aligning with the public demand for corporate accountability.
Enhancing Water Resilience
Water scarcity and pollution are pressing issues, particularly in drought-prone regions such as Spain, Cyprus, and Malta, where between 88% and 98% of citizens say that the environment impacts their daily lives and health. ZERO is dedicated to developing innovative solutions for enhanced water resilience through our FlyingZERO Air Delivery service.
At ZERO, we believe aircraft operators have a significant role in enhancing water resilience. Through FlyingZERO, we are committed to implementing efficient water use, advanced water quality monitoring, and sustainable landscaping practices. Our initiatives include robust stormwater management plans, wastewater treatment, and emergency water management strategies. By collaborating with local stakeholders and adopting innovative technologies, FlyingZERO actively supports sustainable water use and the protection of vital water resources.
Traditional soil moisture measurements are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly. In contrast, radar-equipped drones can provide continuous, cost-effective measurements of soil moisture up to 40 centimeters deep, a critical depth for plant growth and yield. Drones, equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and AI-driven analytics, can monitor and manage water resources effectively. They provide real-time data on water quality and soil moisture, helping local authorities and communities make informed decisions to conserve this precious resource.
Additionally, our zero-emission actions ensure that the deployment of such technology does not contribute to environmental problems but instead helps address them as it comes with zero emissions. By leveraging these advanced capabilities, FlyingZERO is not just transforming air delivery but also playing a pivotal role in water resilience and sustainable resource management.
Supporting the Circular Economy
Promoting a circular economy is seen by many Europeans as a pivotal strategy for tackling environmental challenges. According to the Eurobarometer survey, citizens consider promoting the circular economy as the most effective way of addressing environmental problems in 11 Member States, followed closely by restoring nature.
ZERO is at the forefront of this movement, offering sustainable logistics solutions that reduce traffic congestion, CO2 emissions caused by conventional means of transportation, waste and promote efficiency. Our FlyingZERO services can deliver goods with minimal but safe packaging as regulated, and where possible we re-use it, for example a temperature controlled transport container for dangerous goods (UN3373 certified), cutting down on plastic and chemical waste.
Additionally, our logistics platform supports the transport of recyclable materials and eco-friendly products, ensuring that sustainable practices are integrated throughout the supply chain.
Mitigating the Impact of Harmful Chemicals
Concerns about harmful chemicals in everyday products are widespread, with 84% of respondents worried about their impact on health and the environment. Over half of Europeans (52%) believe that the current level of protection against hazardous chemicals is too low and should be increased.
ZERO’s delivery service ensures that products are transported safely and sustainably, minimizing the risk of contamination. Our drones are designed to handle sensitive cargo with precision, reducing the potential for chemical exposure during transport.
By opting for FlyingZERO, companies can reassure consumers that their products are not only safe but also delivered with the highest environmental standards in mind.
