Create Ziclo-P in the region of Pamplona to professionalize the distribution sector
- In the region of Pamplona they have created a new micro cooperative of local ethical distribution: Ziclo-P. On July 2, the merchants and citizens of the County of Pamplona will begin to connect with the bicycle.
Ziclo-P wants to be a local alternative to platforms. It consists of twelve workers, who had previously been riders to the company Glovo and social economy and solidarity entrepreneurs. The multinationals report that they have been used for profit-making purposes and come together to tackle this with three objectives: "We want to professionalize the sector, boost local trade and encourage the use of bicycles. They have given the association a micro-operational appearance to achieve these objectives, convinced that it is the most appropriate way to dignify the working conditions of distributors.
The service will be launched on 2 July, with the cooperation of the Coop Cyle Federation. Coop Cycle is a free software platform and web in seven European countries, which is the application to download to collect the distributed by Ziclo-P. They have signed an agreement with five restaurants and are working to attract more to the project. The weekly Argia, for example, will also begin to be distributed shortly.
In addition to the distribution of food, in any case, they would also like to take the step in the logistical field. Therefore, they have contacted the local distribution cooperatives of the Basque Country. Work on setting up the Biziklo Federation has been launched to provide advice, impetus and local funding to future cooperatives.
