The benefits of sustainable transportation
W
elcome to the September issue of Factory & Handling Solutions. Whether you agree that there is a climate change crisis or otherwise, it
is indisputable that sustainability has become an important aspect for businesses. Consumers want to buy from companies that operate in an eco- friendly way. That is a real challenge in an industry in which the use of transport and machinery to help prepare goods and get them from one
destination to another, which could be a large distance, is so heavy. On page 22 of this issue, Wouter Satijn, sales director, Joloda Hydraroll, outlines the importance of sustainable transportation, what it means for businesses, and how to take steps towards operating a sustainable transportation company. This issue also includes: Recycling & Waste Management; Barcoding, Labelling & Packaging; Fleet Management; Food & Beverage; Supply Chain Solutions; and Temporary Buildings.
