Use of Green Industry 5.0 Technologies in Logistics Activities

Industry 5.0 is a human-centred concept of industrial development towards the sustainable and resilient system presented by the European Union which aims to become the global both innovation and industrial leader. It should overcome the barriers of the previously presented Industry 4.0. This paper presents the research conducted in the 112 Croatian manufacturing companies, dealing with their awareness level of the Industry 5.0, as well as the use of green and digital elements in logistics activities. The results have shown that the awareness of the digital concept of both Industry 4.0 or 5.0 remains low, but the companies are more open towards the implementation of the green elements than the digital ones, with the potential for future development recognized.
