Unifeeder commercial director Johnson Tan joins smart-box builder Aeler

AELER, a company focused on sustainable solutions in the supply chain industry, prioritises ecological impact in its decision-making processes. One of its main innovations, the Unit One container, aligns with the European Green Deal goals and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions reduction. It achieves this through modal shift facilitation, drag reduction, increased payload capacity, reduction of single-use materials, waste reduction, and end-of-life considerations. The Unit One container provides accurate traceability, which is crucial for verifying sustainability claims, reducing overproduction, and addressing issues like food waste. The structural innovation of the container reduces reliance on flexibags, minimises waste, and decreases emissions throughout its lifecycle.

A leading pharmaceutical company teamed up with AELER to use innovative Unit One smart containers, improving shipping efficiency and product integrity while reducing CO2 emissions and transportation costs.
