’s top sustainability recommendation for a greener air cargo industry is to adopt lightweight packaging solutions. This approach not only reduces the carbon footprint but also enhances efficiency in logistics operations.
, in collaboration with , conducted an extensive simulation to analyse the carbon footprint in global aerial cold chain logistics. The study aimed to identify the most effective strategies for minimising environmental impact while maintaining the integrity of pharmaceutical products during transportation.
The results are striking. Lightweight pallet shippers can significantly reduce COâ‚‚ emissions, making them a game-changer in sustainable logistics. Specifically, the findings revealed that:
- Lightweight pallet shippers can reduce COâ‚‚ emissions by 76% compared to active rigid containers.
- They can also achieve a 63% reduction in COâ‚‚ emissions compared to passive rigid containers.
These impressive reductions highlight the importance of smarter packaging solutions in achieving a smaller environmental footprint. By prioritising lightweight materials, the air cargo industry can make substantial strides towards sustainability, ensuring that the transportation of critical pharmaceutical products is both eco-friendly and efficient.
Smarter packaging, smaller footprint.
