Go Green with Shipping Containers!
Sustainability has become a concern for both businesses and consumers alike. Utilizing shipping containers can be a great way to reuse and repurpose materials as well as minimizing your carbon footprint.
How Are Shipping Containers Sustainable?
Shipping containers are made with corrugated steel, a material that is extremely durable and with the proper maintenance can last for decades. Being able to repurpose these containers throughout their lifespan can considerably reduce the need for new materials and the environmental impact of production.
In fact, it is estimated that the use of shipping containers has reduced the global shipping industry's carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 90 million tons per year!
Shipping containers are highly versatile and can be used in a manner of ways; storage, transportation, and even living spaces.
How Can You Utilize Shipping Containers to Be More Sustainable?
Using shipping containers for additional storage will not only provide a secure and durable solution, but will also help you reduce your amount of waste and additional production.
Converting shipping containers into an office, retail, or even living spaces can be a cost effective and eco friendly alternative to traditional brick and mortar buildings.
When using a shipping container, make sure to consider the entire lifecycle; consider what will happen to them when they are no longer needed. Look into recycling or repurposing options (we can help with that!)
