The world is changing, and the way we produce, consume and transport must evolve with it. The circular economy is now establishing itself as one of the major pillars of ecological transition.
It is in this context that circular logistics appears to be an essential response for building responsible and sustainable logistics.
It is to address this major challenge that Dokeraa offers an innovative approach: circular, local, human and sustainable logistics.
What is the circular economy?
L’économie circulaire est un modèle innovant, qui vise à sortir du modèle traditionnel de consommation, pour privilégier des cycles de production plus durables.
Its objective is simple: to reduce waste, extend product life and lessen environmental impact.
In this model, every resource—materials, energy, expertise—has a place in a virtuous cycle that supports responsible logistics.
The impact of the circular economy on logistics: towards a more ethical model
Today, most supply chains are designed for new, disposable goods and international flows. They prioritise volume over value, price over impact.
The consequences speak for themselves: repairing a product locally often costs more than importing a new one from the other side of the world.
Circular logistics is part of an innovative approach to overcome this obstacle.
The objective? To strive towards a more ethical model that respects the environment and people.
At Dokeraa, the idea of fairer logistics is part of our DNA. This approach guides us every day, reflects our values and allows us to feel aligned.

Circular logistics: a model designed to promote people and the environment
By opting for circular logistics, Dokeraa is completely rethinking these mechanisms. Circular logistics is based on several fundamental principles:
- Optimising resources: pooling transport, avoiding empty journeys, bringing repair or reuse points closer to consumers, repairing rather than replacing, for greener logistics.
- Promoting human skills: artisans, repairers, logisticians, social and solidarity economy (SSE) enterprises, for more human logistics.
- Promoting local roots, reuse and transparency: moving towards more socially responsible and equitable logistics.
A territory-focused approach
Dokeraa relies on local networks to reduce environmental impact and strengthen the regional roots of businesses.
Every journey, every intervention, every flow is redesigned on a human scale.
Circular logistics for the benefit of the environment
Circular logistics is designed with environmental preservation in mind.
In this sense, it aims in particular to pool transport and avoid unnecessary flows, but also to repair rather than replace.
This translates into reusing materials whenever possible, reusing packaging, and making the most of local resources.
This approach reduces waste while supporting local stakeholders.
Fairer logistics for those who make it happen
Unlike globalised low-cost platforms, Dokeraa values the people behind every delivery, collection or service call.
The objective: more socially responsible, fairer and more transparent logistics, designed with people in mind.
Circular logistics: a model combining performance and positive impact
Consumers and businesses alike are now looking for more sustainable, local and responsible solutions. Circular logistics is part of this approach, ensuring that transport-related emissions and waste-related costs are reduced.
Circular logistics also helps to strengthen local dynamics and promote shorter, more coherent supply chains.
Towards a new era in logistics
Circular logistics is no longer an option, but an essential response to ecological, economic and societal challenges. It is therefore establishing itself as a genuine strategic lever.
FAQ: Everything you need to know about circular logistics and its challenges
Circular logistics
Why is logistics essential to the circular economy?
Without collection, sorting, repair, local distribution or pooling, products cannot be reused or recycled. Logistics is the link that connects all stages of the cycle.
What are the advantages of circular logistics?
Circular logistics offers numerous advantages. Firstly, from an environmental perspective, as it enables:
- A significant reduction in carbon emissions
- Waste reduction
- Optimisation of flows
- To reduce costs associated with waste.
But also from a human perspective:
- Creation of local jobs
- Promoting expertise
How does Dokeraa stand out in circular logistics?
Dokeraa places people, local communities and the environment at the heart of its operations to offer logistics services that are truly aligned with the values of the circular economy.
By putting people and territories back at the centre, Dokeraa is paving the way for a fairer, more sustainable and more efficient model.
