Although some people may find the two concepts incompatible, there are actually a lot of parallels between the ideas of business and sustainability. Sustainability is, in general, a considered approach for the environment, making sure that the practices employed do not involve any drastic harm to the world we live in and the elements that maintain it.
The business of logistics, specifically, is about making sure that cargo gets to where it is supposed to go, in good condition, ready to be used. Any cargo that doesn’t survive the journey is discarded and ultimately results in a loss of some kind for everyone involved in the logistics operation. So in this way, making sure as many of the individual pieces of cargo arrive is also about sustainability.
SureTemp Works Both Ways
One of the things we’re doing to help address these issues and even give our customers a little bit of peace of mind is to provide our SureTemp leasing service. Thermal pallet covers are one of the best combinations of efficiency and cost-effectiveness when it comes to maintaining the temperature of cargo. Depending on the type of cargo that is being moved, such as perishables like cosmetics, beverages, or even pharmaceuticals, maintaining a specified temperature is crucial.
Without proper temperature maintenance and protection, this type of delicate cargo can spoil, and become inedible, or lose efficacy entirely, and no longer be useful—or even become harmful—for medical treatment. That’s not only a loss of items, but also a loss of profit, or, in some cases, lives put at risk. Thermal pallet covers can be an excellent method of protecting this type of freight. Our SureTemp covers even help keep CO2 emissions down, as they don’t emit them, unlike reefer units, the other temperature control alternative, which not only emits gas but draws power as well.
However, the SureTemp system also ensures that people who use these thermal pallet covers also enjoy sustainability for the covers themselves! In and of themselves, the pallet covers will provide 10 or more years of reliable protection for cargo. Beyond that, we have options for customers who don’t want to buy these covers, so they can lease them instead.
Not Your Problem
With a SureTemp leasing system in place, this means that the protection that cargo enjoys for a stable temperature never goes to waste, and never becomes useless. Because you don’t actually own the pallet covers under this system, we don’t expect you to maintain them that becomes our job. We take on the responsibility of materials management, and that means that if you start to see some degradation in the covers currently in use, you don’t have to worry about repairs, replacement, or even disposal. Just hand them over to us, and we’ll be happy to take and recycle them, putting them back into construction or even repair for other pallet covers that need them.
If you’re looking for an environmentally responsible temperature protection system that’s also good for your bottom line, our SureTemp pallet covers may be just what you’re looking for.
