“When using reusable, returnable shipping containers, the cost of return logistics is what usually makes the use of the containers unfeasible,” explains Intelligent Thermal Solutions CEO John Howe. “In the depot system, the customer does not own the containers, but rents or leases them. The system is used to accept the containers at the end of the shipment to eliminate the cost of returning them to the origin.

“When the container is shipped within the depot system, the cost for the container is competitive with the cost for a one-way disposable foam insulated container.”
