Despite the advantages of the logistics sector, the strong growth of the country's freight traffic is a major concern, leading to the increasing environmental impact of logistics operations, increasing carbon dioxide emissions, noise, consumption of natural resources, waste generation, etc. Therefore, there is a need to take into account emerging environmental challenges, to pay more and more attention to sustainability issues and to use green logistics principles more actively. The object of this study is the increased applicability of the practices of green logistics. This study is intended to reveal obstacle to implement green practices and practices of green logistics applicable in the transport and logistics sector.
