THE FUTURE
An unexpected result of the pandemic was a steep rise in bike deliveries. This is down to businesses without pre-existing delivery vans and scooters adapting to sustain business and reach their customers. Even though the pandemic has waned, the foot is still firmly on the pedal for bike delivery for businesses and customers alike.
Cargo bike delivery is becoming mainstream, and at Paper Round, we’ve been busy thinking how we can best embrace it. We’re delighted to announce that as part of our commitment to reduce our carbon footprint in line with our #SustainABLEPathway, we now deliver over 75% of our range of Office Supplies within central London on cargo bikes. We’re the first in the industry to offer this service, so why not get involved now

WHY
Cargo bikes have a host of advantages over vehicles for you, your company and the environment.
Good for your carbon footprint and CSR
Delivering by cargo bike produces no CO2, which means an instant reduction to your carbon footprint. Many organisations now have carbon reduction in their CSR policies and our service will propel you forward to achieving your environmental targets.As well as protecting our planet, opting for cargo bike deliveries improves air quality for community health. It is estimated that conventical road transport is responsible for about 50% of the total emissions of nitrogen dioxide (source: ttps://www.londonair.org.uk/londonair/guide/WhatIsNO2.aspx).

Tackles traffic
Cities in the UK are notoriously busy, with commercial freight accounting for 30% of traffic in London. As cargo bikes are small and agile, they reduce congestion on roads and parking issues in loading bays. This reduces traffic pollution, improves road safety, as well as demonstrating your green actions to your customers and the wider public.
