Packaging, paper, and resource recovery company, Visy opts for Maersk’s ECO Delivery product in Oceania.
Visy aims to cut emissions through efficiency and investment in renewables and clean energy, reduce waste to landfill and through efficient use of water. Visy also aims to reduce the company’s carbon footprint in transportation, currently making it Maersk’s largest ECO Delivery customer in Oceania.
“Using Maersk ECO Delivery in our shipping transport will lead to a more sustainable supply chain and help us actively minimize the impact on the environment,” stated Sean Richards, executive general manager of Visy Global Logistics.
Maersk’s low emission ECO Delivery product is an Ocean transport customer offering that uses green biofuels, which reduces CO2 emissions by more than 80%, according to a statement.
This product provides direct carbon savings rather than carbon offsetting, as with the use of biofuel, the savings have already been achieved.
“ECO Delivery is the most sustainable ocean product available today, and we have seen the customer demand for sustainable transport drives exponential growth and we expect more customers to opt for this solution. The cooperation with Visy is a great step forward in decarbonising shipping operations in Oceania,” commented Lee Sissons, regional head of ocean management at Maersk Asia Pacific.
Maersk said that since its introduction in 2019, customer demand for its ECO Delivery product has grown more than 170% year-on-year.
