We see this as part of a broader responsibility, where cargo protection also supports fair working conditions, ethical sourcing, and long-term supply chain resilience By offering reliable and efficient moisture damage prevention to our customers, desiccant solutions can help reduce emissions linked to product loss, rework, or over-packaging. Desiccant technology can be used instead of environmentally damaging solutions like air freight or environmentally questionable pre-arrangements like oiling, VCI, over-dimensioning of packaging, etc. Using desiccants also decreases the waste due to moisture damage and decreases the unnecessary use of resources. And we help our customers go even further by offering desiccants with low carbon emissions, and which are easy to recycle and possible to reuse. What makes a desiccant more sustainable? While desiccants are often classified by their absorbing agent, sustainability goes beyond material choice. A more sustainable desiccant helps reduce waste, conserve resources, and improve transport efficiency, without compromising performance. Key characteristics of a more sustainable desiccant include: High absorption capacity, allowing fewer units to be used while giving the same protection Optimized packaging design, such as single-layer pouches that reduce the plastic use require for its productions Use of recycled or partly recycled materials, and components that are recyclable or reusable where possible Efficient outer packaging, minimizing space and transport emissions Responsible production, ensuring fair labor practices and a healthy working environment Certified environmental management, such as ISO 14001, to ensure continuous improvement and accountability Discover our range of desiccants Absorpole Hanging Blanket Sheet Max Compact Pouch X Our process to achieve low carbon footprint container desiccants Re-engineer products to decrease the amount of material in order to lower the usage of resources Use materials with a low CO2 footprint e.g. re-cycled material Ensure operations have a low CO2 footprint Calculate the CO2 footprint of products from cradle to gate – scope 1, 2 and (upstream) scope 3 We have chosen materials with a lower carbon footprint, and evaluated and sourced suppliers, transports and energy resources also with respect to carbon footprint. By doing this correctly, we have decreased the amount of plastic needed and been able to exchange a large part of the plastic with post-consumer plastic and a lower CO2 footprint. We have calculated the total carbon footprint of our container desiccants Absorpole® and AbsorGel® from the cradle to the gate. Which includes source, transport and production. The data on our carbon emissions is validated by IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute Ltd. and included in an extended report available on request. The CO2 footprint for each product can be found in the Technical Product Sheets for each product.
