Op-Ed: Increasing payload with sustainable container technology

Natively insulated shipping containers, like AELER's Unit One, offer a superior alternative to traditional methods. They provide better insulation and cost-effectiveness for transporting temperature-sensitive goods while eliminating the need for refrigeration units, increasing cargo capacity, and reducing carbon emissions, thereby revolutionising global logistics and supply chain management.

The container industry is evolving, and we believe in the power of collective transformation. To maximise the container’s potential, we need to create added value through visibility, efficiency, and sustainability. This includes integrating advanced technologies, fostering collaboration within the industry, and transforming the container into a generator of added value.

A multnational consumer goods company utilised AELER's Unit One containers with flexitanks for transporting bulk liquids, leading to improved logistical efficiency, cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and enhanced cargo quality on the UK to Turkey trade route.
