Lipton Turns to Eco-friendly Shipping

by Brian Yalung on Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Lipton

Lipton, a world-renowned manufacturer of tea, has joined the eco-friendly bandwagon, by shifting to a new way of transporting their products. Gone are the usual wooden crate support used as bases for shipping tons of their products. They have started to implement a new way of shipping called the “Slip-Sheets” thus enabling them to save on wood as well.

The ’slip-sheets are much thinner than the traditional wooden pallets which will help cut down transportation and fuel costs while reducing the impact on the environment.

It is expected that this initiative will result in ocean freight savings of approximately 10 – 20%.

This move to slip-sheets will also eliminate any possible risks from wood-related infestation to the tea during the shipping process.
