Why Green Warehousing Matters

The logistics industry accounts for 8% of global carbon emissions, making sustainable practices critical. Green warehousing not only reduces environmental impact but also delivers financial benefits like lower operating costs and enhanced brand loyalty.

At Moshipco, we’ve seen how sustainability transforms supply chains. By integrating green practices into our operations, we help clients cut costs, comply with regulations, and build trust with eco-conscious practices. Our commitment to warehouse sustainability sets us apart as a 3PL partner.

Moshipco’s Sustainable Practices

Moshipco’s green warehousing initiatives are designed to minimize waste and maximize efficiency. Here are several ways we’re leading the charge:

1. Compactors for Waste Reduction: Our industrial compactors compress trash, reducing garbage truck visits by 75% or more. This cuts emissions and landfill contributions.

   
   

2. Desert Landscaping: By using native, low-water plants around our facilities, we reduce water usage by 60% compared to traditional landscaping, conserving a precious resource in an arid region.

   
   

3. Cardboard Bins Over Plastic: We’ve consciously used recyclable cardboard alternatives for warehouse bins, eliminating 99% of plastics for our warehouse bins.

   
   

4. Balers for Cardboard Recycling: Our balers compact cardboard for recycling, diverting 80% of cardboard waste from landfills. Since 2020 Moshipco has recycled nearly 500,000 lbs of cardboard and paper products.

   
   

5. Optimized Packing Technology: Moshipco’s cartonization packing algorithms calculate the smallest possible box size for each order, reducing carton usage by 20% or more and lowering shipping emissions.

   
   

6. Energy Efficient Lighting: Our warehouse is designed with motion sensor lighting to ensure lights are off in areas where little activity is detected throughout the day. These practices don’t just benefit the planet—they save money.

   
   

7. Sustainability Vendors: We prioritize vendors who are also making sustainability a priority. Our Natural Gas supplier Enbridge Gas is on a path to Net Zero by 2050 and more info can be found here: https://www.enbridgegas.com/sustainability

   
   

8. Insulation vs Electricity: We have opted for interior wall insulation rather than installing air conditioners to keep our warehouse cooler in warmer months. We also keep our heaters at 60°F/15.5°C during colder months which saves 15-20% in energy cost and useage vs the U.S. Department of Energy suggestion of keeping homes and business at 68°F for optimal energy efficiency.

By partnering with Moshipco, you’re not just adopting sustainable 3PL solutions, you’re future-proofing your supply chain. Our green practices resonate with our customers.
