Introduction
ORBIS emphasizes the importance of transitioning to reusable packaging to conserve resources, reduce waste, and save energy. The document highlights the environmental and economic benefits of using ORBIS plastic reusable pallets and containers.
Environmental Impact
Switching to ORBIS reusable pallets can significantly impact the environment. Eliminating 11 wood pallets saves a tree, while removing 400 saves an acre. Over a year, this change can lead to substantial environmental benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30%, which helps protect the ozone layer.
Economic Benefits
Using ORBIS reusable packaging not only reduces unsaleables and product damage but also lowers transportation costs by maximizing shipping capacity. Additionally, it reduces labor costs associated with solid waste disposal.
Resource Conservation
By eliminating 800 corrugated boxes, 7000 gallons of water are saved. Removing 8000 boxes saves enough water to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool. This switch contributes significantly to preserving natural resources.
Conclusion
ORBIS offers an incentive to implement a reusable packaging program that extends beyond cost savings. The positive environmental impact of using ORBIS products is substantial, and the company encourages the use of their Green Calculator to visualize the potential environmental benefits.
