Sustainable Shipping: Eco-Friendly Practices in International Courier Services
In a world where speed and global reach are everything, international courier services have become the backbone of cross-border commerce. But with that convenience comes a challenge we can’t ignore: the environmental impact of global shipping.
At AICS, logistics shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. That’s why we’re exploring — and actively adopting — sustainable shipping practices that support businesses while respecting the environment.
Why Does Sustainable Shipping Matter?
Every parcel that travels across countries represents fuel burned, packaging used, and emissions released. Consider this:
- The transportation sector is responsible for nearly one-quarter of global CO₂ emissions.
- Packaging waste contributes significantly to landfill overload and marine pollution.
In short, as international shipping continues to grow, eco-conscious solutions are not just desirable — they are essential.
