IoPP Webinar - Lightweighting (Source Reduction) and Its Effects on Distribution

Companies today are looking to gain every possible time, cost and energy-savings efficiency in the transportation of their packaged products. Lightweighting is a strategy that has become more prominent in the distribution environment. It entails tactics such as using thinner package walls and finding alternative materials to gain efficiencies that lower transportation costs. However, lightweighting, also known as source reduction, comes with its own challenges, if not done carefully.
