Sustainability by prevention

At Absortech, we believe the most sustainable solution is to stop damage before it happens. Less damage means less waste. When moisture damage is prevented, fewer goods are lost, valuable resources are preserved, costs are reduced, and environmental impact is minimized. Prevention is about protecting cargo to make global trade more efficient and sustainable.

Protect cargo, prevent waste

When products are damaged in transit, the impact goes far beyond replacement costs. Raw materials, energy, packaging, and transport capacity are all wasted, while additional emissions are generated by re-manufacturing, re-packaging and re-shipping. Avoiding damage means these losses and emissions never occur.

Fewer damaged goods also mean fewer claims, shorter delays, and more reliable supply chains. For our customers, that translates into reduced costs, improved efficiency, and measurable progress toward ambitious sustainability goals.

Protecting more with less

Just 4–6 kg of AbsorGel Blanket is enough to protect a 30-foot container for up to 30 days with dry or wet goods. With only a small investment in prevention, entire shipments can be safeguarded. Each protected container reduces CO₂ emissions linked to manufacturing, packaging and logistics, a clear benefit for your business and the environment.

A smarter choice than the alternatives

Our high-performing desiccants effectively prevent moisture damage, which in turn reduces waste and the need for re-treatment of damaged goods. They also reduce the need for short-term or resource-heavy solutions such as air freight, oiling, or VCI, which carry higher environmental impacts.

Even compared to other desiccant technologies, AbsorGel desiccants stands out: its carbon footprint is about twenty times smaller than silica gel, while ensuring reliable protection for every shipment.

How Absortech desiccants enable sustainability?

REDUCE

Our desiccants have a high absorption capacity, allowing the use of a lower amount for good moisture prevention, resulting in less plastic and reduced resource consumption while cutting emissions linked to re-treatment and replacement of damaged goods.

REUSE

Through our Return-to-Reuse (R-to-R) program, selected components of our products can be collected and processed for use in new desiccants. This extends product life, reduces demand for virgin materials, and lowers the overall environmental impact of our solutions.

RECYCLE

Where reuse is not possible, our desiccants and packaging are designed with recyclability in mind. We incorporate recycled or partly recycled plastic in our products and work to ensure that materials can enter recycling streams after use, supporting circular resource management.
