CO 2 reduction in Norway
Cooperation with logistics supplier Natre reached out to and established collaboration with Bring. Together they realised a method for transporting glass by train instead of using trucks.
Transportation with trucks Previously, glass produced in Poland was transported by trucks. In addition to being CO 2 intensive, this transportation method resulted in broken glass, spills and delayed deliveries to customers.
Increased predictability Transport by train has resulted in more predictable delivery times and thus improved production planning.
CO 2 reduction The solution that they settled on after testing involved glass being transported by train for the majority of the route, giving a 512 Ton CO 2 reduction in 2021.
512 TON
Cost reduction Natre has experienced a 3 % cost reduction through the transition from trucks to trains.
Better work conditions The improved predictability has consequently given the team in Natre better working conditions and less overtime.
What now? Natre and their logistics supplier will continue collaborating to find greener solutions for Natre’s transportation needs.
Resource reduction and safer roads By reducing glass breakage and removing thousands of trucks from the road each year, the new transport method will also result in a resource reduction and safer roads.
