Reusable packaging helps to reduce overall impacts

Most people who delve deeply into sustainability come to the conclusion that all aspects of sustainability, from source extraction to the reduction of waste, are interconnected.

That is one of the reasons why transportation features so heavily in sustainability considerations. Wal-Mart drew attention to the impacts of transportation when it included greater cube utilization on its packaging scorecard.

Companies typically experience an immediate reduction in overall transportation costs following a decrease in the size and weight of packages. Containerboard, package design, and logistics software companies are making significant contributions to greater cube utilization and the reduction of transportation costs. There is also the national economic benefit of less fuel consumed by truck fleets and the global environmental advantage of fewer greenhouse gases emitted.

Reusable packaging

In a number of applications, including fresh produce, poultry and meats, beverages, and dairy products, reusable packaging palettes and shipping containers are options that increasingly more producers are adopting. Reuse—along with reduce and recycle—is foundational for improving sustainability.
