Upcoming IoPP webinar focused on source reduction's 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. Join IoPP for a Dec. 13 webinar for some tips and strategies to benefit your operations in the presentation Lightweighting (Source Reduction) and Its Effects on Distribution. Pat Nolan, President of DDL Inc., will be the speaker, and the webinar is made possible through IoPP’s Transport Packaging Committee. For details and registration, click here |
