'Well packed': the sustainable packaging manual for the e-commerce sector

Article

Reduce your impact on the environment with the right packaging

The number of online orders is still increasing every year, and due to the corona crisis, this has taken an additional flight recently. Unfortunately, this also increases the use of (disposable) packaging such as plastic and cardboard, which therefore has a considerable impact on the environment.

Thuiswinkel.org works together with the e-commerce sector to minimise the impact on the environment. For this reason, they have developed the Sustainable Packaging Guide (only available in Dutch), a handy tool to give e-commerce companies ideas for making their logistics processes more sustainable.

StackAssist® is one of the listed solutions for sustainable packaging

Thuiswinkel.org mentions our StackAssist® application in the manual as one of the solutions for more sustainable packaging. With StackAssist® you can easily calculate the optimal stacking method and the required loading capacity. This allows you to transport less air and make optimal use of the cargo space of road, air or sea transport vehicles. The fact that this also saves you money is of course a bonus!
