Abstract: The global demand for perishable goods, including food and pharmaceuticals, underscores the critical importance of an efficient and reliable cold chain infrastructure. Sustainable cold chain logistics infrastructure refers to systems designed to maintain the integrity of temperature-sensitive products throughout the supply chain while minimizing environmental impact. This paper explores the various components and technologies integral to a sustainable cold chain logistics operation, including energy-efficient refrigeration, renewable energy integration, advanced insulation materials, and real-time monitoring systems. Additionally, it examines the economic, environmental, and social benefits of adopting sustainable practices, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, decreasing operational costs, and enhancing food security. By highlighting case studies and innovations in cold chain logistics, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how sustainable cold chain logistics infrastructure can contribute to global sustainability goals and support the transition to a greener economy.
