And the winner of The Grocer Gold “Supply Chain Initiative of the Year” is…
Our Drylock Train!
Less than a year after its introduction, our eco-friendly rail route between Belgium and Czechia has already resulted in a 10% efficiency gain in palletization and a 75% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to standard trucks.
Our dedicated freight train makes an impressive impact, transporting 88 containers each week. Raw materials journey from Belgium to Czechia, while finished products return to Belgium, for further distribution into the United Kingdom.
This streamlined approach optimizes loading schedules and enhances efficiency. By replacing 5,000 truck journeys, we’ve cut CO2 emissions by an astounding 3,000 tons on a yearly basis, reinforcing our commitment to the environment..
As the first hygiene product manufacturer to operate on 100% green renewable energy and attain CO2-neutral production, we take immense pride in our role in shaping a greener future, step by step.
We want to thank The Grocer for organizing a fantastic event and for recognizing our revolutionary approach to sustainable supply chains. We also extend our gratitude to our customers, who motivate us to keep pushing boundaries for a greener future.
