Moving towards net zero targets together
Alfa Laval tubes and fittings have a global reputation for reliability, durability, efficiency and outstanding quality. Now we can add sustainability to the list of credentials. From packaging and shipment to choice of materials and optimum designs, we can help you fulfil your sustainability targets.
One of the low-hanging fruits is to reconsider transportation modes. Airfreight is the source of massive carbon emissions and it really pays off to consider alternatives, especially for heavy items like tubes and fittings.
There is a lot to save
By changing from airfreight to sea or road freight, you can save up to 85% of your shipping costs and at the same down cut down the carbon footprint by as much as 98%. The heavier the load and the longer the distance, the bigger the savings on carbon emissions and cost.
Airfreight is approximately 50 times more carbon intensive than sea freight and the cost is about 40 times higher, too.
Let’s work together
At Alfa Laval, we deliver 10+ tons of tubes and fittings each year, and we take pride in offering a range of efficient, reliable and competitive freight options.
Sometimes, fast delivery is urgent and airfreight is the only option. For less pressing deliveries or regular orders, shipment by sea or road can be a more sustainable choice. In order to support dispatch by sea or road, Alfa Laval has built regional inventories, and our Service Centers are ready to advise you on projected delivery times, environmental benefits and cost savings.
Sustainability is at the heart of Alfa Laval’s products, processes and practices. Since 2019, we have been committed to achieving carbon-neutral status in our operations by 2030 and to reaching a science-based net zero target by 2050.
One of the initiatives on the road to net-zero is to implement more sustainable packaging, which can reduce waste, curb carbon emissions and support recycling of materials.
A couple of examples of how we optimized our packaging of tubes and fittings:
Lightweight pallet:
Shredded recycled paper:
Paper bags:
Sustainable use of materials
By 2030, Alfa Laval has pledged to offer 30% of products made from recycled materials. In addition, we are forming partnerships that will guarantee safe and sustainable recycling processes for all end-of-life products.
Let us help you optimize the use of tubes of fittings to avoid excess consumption of materials, reduce installation cost and eliminate unnecessary carbon emissions.
