Moving Waste Shipments Across Europe with Samskip: A Model of Sustainability and Flexibility
As we transition towards a circular economy, and Europe faces increasing challenges in waste management and sustainability, Samskip stands out as a leader in the efficient and environmentally friendly transportation of waste shipments. In light of recent UK land tax increases, which have heightened the cost of landfill usage, Samskip’s innovative logistics solutions offer a vital alternative for businesses seeking to manage waste more sustainably.
Sustainability at the Core
Samskip’s commitment to sustainability is evident in their achievements thus far and their goal of reaching its corporate ambition to be carbon neutral by 2040. Having already received the Eco Vadis Gold award, along with the ongoing construction of 2 ships that will be entirely powered by green hydrogen, we can already provide significant CO2 savings compared to an all-road movement. For example, London to Milan, using Samskip’s Multimodal network currently saves 1279 KG kilograms of CO2 versus trailer.
Samskip’s involvement in the promotion of the circular movement of recycled goods adds to this commitment. By facilitating the transportation of waste to recycling facilities across Europe, Samskip helps ensure that materials are reprocessed and reintroduced into the supply chain, reducing the need for virgin resources. This circular economy approach not only mitigates environmental impact but also supports industries in meeting their sustainability goals.
