Reduction of Disposable Packaging Materials

Using the Cargobox economizes on voluminous packaging material such as wrapping plastic, heavy duty cardboard boxes and wooden pallets that often end up on landfills. Therefore, using Cargobox substantially contributes to protecting the environment.

Cargobox Materials are 100% Recycable

The materials used in the Cargobox are 100% recyclable and therefore have a positive influence on the carbon footprint.

ROHS Compliant

The Printed Circuit Board and electronics in the Cargobox are compliant with the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances Requirement (ROHS) directive, which sets limitations on the use of six hazardous materials.

Higher Load Factors

As a result of the usage of the Cargobox higher average load factor per cubic meter can be achieved. Higher load factors lead to substantial cost savings and protect the environment by distributing emissions associated with air cargo among a higher number of products per shipment.

The Cargobox is reusable

The carbon footprint associated with producing a Cargobox is higher than that of a pallet and associated packaging materials. Because Cargobox is reusable its carbon footprint can be distributed among as many as 120 trips. Carbon emissions on a per trip basis are displayed in graph 1. Because of Cargobox' long lifespan and the reduction in packaging materials that can be achieved, Cargobox leaves a much smaller carbon footprint on a per-trip basis than its substitutes: the wooden or plastic pallet in combination with heavy duty cardboard boxes and wrapping plastic.

Decreasing Eco Tax Charges

Eco Taxes to be paid by shippers to clear away and recycle their disposable packaging materials will decrease as a result of reduction in the usage of these materials.
