ITCO report - Assesment of Environmental impact of tankcontainers
The risk of climate change is now recognised and the science is well established. Governments around the World have committed to reductions in CO2 of 60% or more by 2050. Their challenge is 'how' to encourage the right practices through fiscal and other incentives? For industry, consumers and governments alike the key question is ' how to contribute to the reductions needed'?
The message is clear, energy efficiency and emissions performance will carry penalties in the future that will raise operating costs; relative failure by business will become a competitive disadvantage.
As a result companies that are concerned about costs, corporate social responsibility and achieving sustainability will be well advised to understand their 'carbon footprints' and the reduction strategies that are available to them. Forewarned is forearmed is the adage. ITCO has commissioned LCP Consulting to evaluate the environmental performance of tankcontainers compared with their main alternatives of drums or bulk bags.
