Changes in the global automotive industry are showing how CHEP reusable containers are more environmentally, operationally, and economically sustainable than cardboard.<\/p>\n

The automotive industry is going through rapid change. The move towards electrification \u2013 driven by environmental regulations and consumer concerns \u2013 means many completely different components will be needed. Alongside the disruption caused by the pandemic, this is forcing a huge shift in supply chains across the world and putting increasing focus on the complexities of intercontinental transport.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s understandable why many in the industry might think that one-way packaging makes more sense for long transport flows. Cardboard appears much less of an environmental problem than a plastic box, being able to be recycled. And it seems relatively cheap to buy or replace, with no need for an empty return flow.<\/p>\n

Yet the problems with one-way cardboard for long export\/import journeys are significant \u2013 not just for reduction of CO2 emissions and waste, but for being less cost-effective in operational terms as well.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a better way than one-way<\/strong><\/p>\n

One-way packaging isn\u2019t as sustainable as it looks. In fact, over the packaging\u2019s life cardboard embodies far more greenhouse gases than plastic. There\u2019s also the difficulty of disposing of it properly (much of it ends up in landfills, where it rots producing even more greenhouse gas).<\/p>\n

As importantly for complex export journeys, there\u2019s also the matter of hidden costs, CAPEX, additional storage, greater manual handling, and risk of product damage.<\/p>\n

For example, Tenneco \u2013 a global Tier 1 supplier \u2013 worked with CHEP to analyse the Total Cost of Ownership of their packaging system and found the largest areas of hidden costs was from single-use packaging. [Footnote 2]<\/p>\n

Because of CHEP\u2019s far greater scale and global network, they can guarantee that their customers always have the supply of the packaging they need \u2013 unlike one-way packaging \u2013 no matter what the changes in demand. And their reusable packaging is continually in circulation around the world, removing charges for empty reverse flows.<\/p>\n

Robust reusable pooled packaging takes the risk out of complex intercontinental flows, where damage and interruptions to the journeys can mean production lines coming to an expensive halt. CHEP\u2019s Value Chain Analysis looks at customer flows and helps them calculate the most efficient ways to reduce costs, increase transparency and sustainability, and make the export\/import supply chain faster, simpler and safer.<\/p>\n

One of the leading systems developers and suppliers for the automotive industry \u2013 with 40 manufacturing facilities across the world \u2013 was concerned about the capital expenditure of their one-way packaging logistics, as well as the sustainability impact.<\/p>\n

So, they worked with CHEP Automotive experts to trial CHEP\u2019s reusable containers for just one lane for a year \u2013 transporting catalysts from South Africa to Germany. Not only did this reduce physical waste by around 193 tons, but all their reliability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness goals were met. They also found additional benefits in terms of reductions in product damage, trip volumes, warehousing, and sea freight optimisation. This solution can now be expanded throughout their supply chain.<\/p>\n

Sustainability is at the core of the automotive industry\u2019s future, and CHEP reusable pooled packaging is the most environmentally and economically sustainable way forward for intercontinental transport.<\/p>\n

About CHEP<\/strong><\/p>\n
